Story in the snow...Damn nature, you scary.

Driving down a snowmobile trail yesterday and came across this. Ruffed Grouse (kind of like a bush chicken) will dive into the snow and sleep under the snow to keep warm.

Owls hunt by sound, and can hear the bird underneath the fresh snow. Their hearing is so good they can pinpoint exactly where that bird is, and pounce feet first onto it, kill it and eat it. You can see the wing marks where the Owl pounced on the grouse, then dragged it onto the trail and ate everything but the backbone and feathers.

Imagine thinking you are safe and sound under the snow, the next second you are being eaten. Animal senses make us look pretty pathetic.

Had a bear open try and open the tailgate to my truck a few months ago. Heard a bang outside at like 9pm, look out and a huge bear is running away. I go over and look around and see the dirt on my tailgate is scratched where the tailgate release is. Gave me a whole new level of respect for the beast. Now I carry bear spray any time I walk around in the woods.

They must sit there and watch. Scary

We had bought some corn for my parents and left it on the porch. Looked out the window to see a huge black bear carrying it off. I chased him, but he got away. A few days later found the bag of corn. He had eated a small bit of one piece, then left it. Bears don't actually like vegetables all that much.

So we ate the corn anyway, was fine lol

That's crazy. My dad was a farmer and he said they'd stuff themselves with the corn silage that missed the truck and got all over the ground and hunters would tell him there'd be awful bear diarrhea near by

What sled you got? I have an old Phazer that's the carbs all iced up at the moment. Gonna go work on it right now

i used to be way up in the wilderness a lot as a kid. seen it all. humans are still ****in scarier lol

for animals in the wild it's just about survival. but with humans we actively want to hurt each other physically or emotionally

Animals are vicious because they need to be.

Maybe scarier that humans are vicious when they dont need to be?

Edit: saw your edit, and it seems we are on the same page exactly. lol

and yet some humans...

Bears are sleeping now.

Only wolves this time of year, and they are really no threat.

but even animals aren't as vicious as us. i once saw a bear look at a deer walking right by the dude and he already had a salmon or fish in hand and he just let the deer go lol. they looked at each other with a head nod howdy neighbour. it's just 100% survival

yup.

Everyone thinks the outdoors is just full of animals that are just ready to tear you to pieces.

I always get asked about fishers, which are the little cousin to the wolverine. "arent they vicious??"

Vicious? well, yes, in that they are very adept at feeding themselves, which just happens to involve hunting, finding, and eating things smaller than themselves.

I have grabbed them by the neck scruff and let them out of snares they were tangled in. Amazing creatures, yes, but its not like most animals hold grudges, or want to hurt you. The ones I have held alive just wanted to get away and were willing to do whatever they could to make that happen. But they do it because they are scared chitless of me.

There is no purposeful malice in the animal kingdom.

Humans? well fuk...

RIP birdie!

Their special downy feathers make them completely silent, and the halos around their eyes actually act as satellite dishes to focus sounds to their ears.

They can pinpoint mice under three feet of powder. insane

They've changed sleds so much. Yeah those 80s-90s phazers are great. Really light. Cheap to rebuild also. Old steel cylinders, not nikasil. Cheap bearings on the crankshaft. Everything easy to work on, motor can be pulled in about 30 minutes... Always something wrong with it tho. arghh
