Ok - here's a question for ya. As you may know, Florida is not really considered moose country. Moose triplets - I'm sure it's a beautiful sight. But do they get PO'd if you get their names wrong? It's just so hard with triplets.

Yeah well, Rick and Coot, I guess we can't all agree on everything...Some nations tend to have more nationalistic and patriotic populations and your country is one of 'em. Quebec would be another Me, I'll stick with the moose...

You have your opinion and I have mine and that makes the world go round. As usual I may come across a little too strong sometimes, sorry if I did. Maybe if I had a moose or two my blood pressure would stay down.

All moose conceive Triplets, if the feed is good through the winter, they can birth triplets, If the feed is marginal she will abort one fetus in Jan. if feed is still low in Feb. she will abort another, if feed is low in March she will abort the last fetus.

Moose will regulate population based on winter food.

Meanwhile America flirts with Sharia Law.

Excellent info, hopeak! Any idea how the chances for survival are? We thought it was quite a sight but guessed that two would most likely get eaten by bears or wolves. Most moose here seem to calve twins, of which one always seems to die within the first few weeks. At least, we often see moose with 2 calves when they're still tiny, and later on, they always just have one calf with them.

No way to calculate their chances, Golden and Bald Eagles can also be a problem, but it seems the Black Bears cull more moose than Brown Bears.

Bears will often kill the calf as it is being born, when the cow is defenseless.

One or three Grizzlies can kill hundreds caribou calves per day, The Caribou cows will go up in the soft snow to calf, there can be 3,000 to 10,000 cows birthing in one large bowl over a 5 day period. It is gross to watch.

[Rick]

Pretty gross thinking about it, too.

[wildWoman]

So the winter range of cows is crucial to the overall numbers of moose, then. Will be interesting to see what we have in terms of calves here this summer - only had one cold snap all winter and normal snow cover, but for some reason there were hardly any moose at their usual wintering grounds.
Also, something must have happened last summer because around here not many moose calves seemed to have survived at all; mostly saw single cows throughout fall and winter.

[Sourdough]

One of my yard cows had no calves this spring. Last year she birthed two, but a Brown Bear got them both. I know it was a brown bear as I found their feet, well seven of eight feet, and the bears tracks. They near killed her as she had two massive (18" X24") flaps of skin torn high on right shoulder and another on the opposite hind quarter. She made it, saw Her yesterday.

Survival can be cruel.

I was also mentioning to email me as I might have a job for anyone that could be qualified enough to work for my corporation. (incase they lose their job,home,wife ect.)

Offering a job with your corporation. That can only be legitimately done by someone who is themselves productive. That I respect. We may not agree on some socio-econ topics but here we do. I wish you the best in your business endeavors.

[trax]

wow, what a cool thread. Bragg, I hope you're wearing hipwaders, partner, cuz you buried yourself in it this time.

I think America's probably going to hang in there for awhile, and if I really want third world living conditions, I'll go live on a reservation in Canada.

Wildwoman, here's something interesting about Quebec that most people don't realize. Quebec was the first to raise volunteer armies in defense of Canada the three times in our history that we needed it. Quebec's anti-federal sentiments really came to the forefront during WW2 when they were the only part of Canada to consistently vote against conscription, then it just blossomed from there. (I'm not here to defend Quebec's nationalist sentiments, it's just information that most Canadians don't have)

I actually agree with most of what you said about the hockey and Timbits, but I am totally opposed to our current gun laws.

[nell67]

Whats a Timbit?
