Oh knock it off! Ok yeah you're further north but we get intense cold not 3 or four months out of the year and we've had plenty of snow storm winters! Not a wuss! Just don't like it!

 

Well, at least I get to ice skate for most of the year, I guess.

A big buck took out my aunt's blazer years ago in Virginia. Smashed in the front of it. She watched as the thing shook it off and ran off into the woods. I live in terror of deer dashing onto the road. Can't imagine having to deal with Moose!

deer are worse up close

Well at some point we get the green and warm air and then it's mojito time! I live for May-August!

Not where damage to vehicle and injuries are concerned. A deer won't damage your vehicle nearly as much as a moose will. Don't try to contest this, I worked in insurance for almost 2 years.

While I was in the army we were once orienteering in the woods as a huge moose ran right through our group with foam in its mouth. That was quite the sight. We never found out why it did that. I hid behind a tree.

At least with the heat I've got shorts and t-shirt plus a/c I can run. In the winter I've got to bundle up, shovel snow, and worry about what it's doing to my car. I'll take the fury of August and all it's cruelties over February's bone-chill any day.

Sometimes too much activity and becoming overheated can cause an animal's mouth to foam. It might have been being chased by a predator.

Honestly I wouldn't want to hit either of them. I live in fear more of deer cause this is a common sight round my way...

Funny story. My grandparents use to have sheep on their farm. I watched my uncle hit a adult female doing about 80mph on a dirt bike. He went over the handle bars ended up dislocating his arm and breaking a few ribs. The sheep he hit simply wiggles it's way out from underneath the dirt bike, got up, baah'ed a few times and walked off like nothing happened. 

 

 

Jebus! *mental note: sheep are tougher than they appear*

The moose was pretty lucky not picking a fight with you guys.

 

Imagine what a squad's worth of automatic weapon can do point-blank.

Swiss cheese!

 

Damn. Is it weird I love guns so much?

[introverted_assassin]

Never call an Assassin a wuss, Cap. I lived in Michigan for 4 years. I know how bad the snow can get. Here, as in the south, they're not equipped to deal with such events. Top that with below freezing temperatures and you have ice. i don't do ice.

having a interest in firearms isnt wierd. No different than sword or technological appreciation. but its when people get into the sematics of regulation

That´s what I thought too. We were a bit on guard for a moment in case a bear or some wolfs would pop up. Luckily nothing,

I'm mostly teasing Kas, I know it's hard when it's not your normal climate behaviour. I've just lived in Alberta for 23 years, so I'm used to it. I'm a skater, I love ice. I'd skate to work if it wasn't across the city.

It's not weird having an interest in guns and knowing about guns but, at least in British Military, obsession of guns can lead to a person being denied a place in the military. It's something to do with the obsession becoming the need.

That reminds me of this one song... I believe it was Jaromír Nohavica.

"Bo silničaři jako každy rok, su překvapeni velice, že snih zasypal jim silnice." ("Because road maintenance, like every year, is very surprised, that snow fell on the roads.")

And yes, I know google won't really translate. It's local lingo.

Yeah... That topic can get heated.

On one side, you have the people who want complete freedom in firearms ownership, on the other you have people who want a complete ban of firearms.

Me, I'm usually too busy admiring to join either side. The truth's probably somewhere in the middle, anyway. But, as I said, admiring.

Michigan has 2 seasons: winter and construction.

So it's pretty much Edmonton, but in the States.

 

I like to say Edmonton's 4 seasons are: Thawing, Construction, About to Freeze, and Frozen.
