The bodies of two hunters have been found in Colorado

View attachment 58746

My wife went on a hunt with me in RMN to take pictures and we got pretty damn close to a bull and she snapped this picture. Such cool animals
One of the ones I saw was a cow lying down next to the river I was fly fishing in Idaho. About three times that distance was the closest I got. Pictures pretty much suck. Should have got one when she got up to leave but I missed it.
 
We are at 8000ft and it was 38 degrees this morning at 7am and it's been wet and rainy the last few days too. I don't know the conditions there or what altitude but it's always best to be over prepared conditions change quick up here. Temperature change today will go from the mid 30s to the mid 70s so it would be easy for someone without much experience to misjudge the conditions.
 
Why does this bother you? It’s a little silly but I couldn’t imagine getting butthurt about it

It's not silly, it's just plain stupid...

I simply made a comment about it. I'm not going scorched earth and calling everyone on social media out that uses it, so I think the butthurt analogy falls a little flat.
 
They're unbelievably massive in person and I've only seen a couple and not that close. Like shockingly huge creatures.

They are massive. I have had one literally on my walkout basement patio. Like 10' from my sliding glass door on the patio. You can hear and feel their steps from a ways off. A very low thumping type of thing.

First time I went to look at the land I ended up buying and built my house on, my dad and I were walking the 17 acres. It's fairly steep, thick tree cover, lots of rock formations of mountainside. As we were walking the land, I kept hearing something big shadowing us behind some thick trees. Eventually I saw it was a big moose. Dad and I quickly decided to get off the land and back to my truck.

I've seen them standing in the water of rivers that I was rafting on. You can't really just stop a raft, nor can you speed it up much. So I stayed on the opposite side of the rivers as we floated by. They are an animal that you need to see in person to really understand how massive they are.
 
They were struck by lightning

Bizarre
I was driving over Independence pass in Colorado this summer with family and we stopped to hike down to the ghost town. A storm quickly rolled in and we're above tree line at almost 12k, so I quickly got us back to the car. We keep driving and get to the top of the pass and people are walking up to the peak, away from their cars in the middle of a thunderstorm. You can't fix stupid.

Storms can blow in quick when you're hiking, and that's a tough way to go.
 
It’s been 20 years since I hunted in Colorado, but at the time the only moose were in the Walden/North Park area.

Report also says they were hunting elk, which makes sense.
We had Moose in Vail. Tons more Elk but we did see an occasional Moose. We were backcountry snowmobiling and one of my friends was about a mile in front of us. He went into a large snowy meadow and a young Moose started running at him. He high tailed it out of there.


One night I got a call from one of my snowmobiling friends because he was stuck in the backcountry up Piney Ranch Road. @vailhusker probably knows the area I'm talking about . 2 of our group was out snowmobiling after dark and got stuck in the bottom of a gully that had deep snow. I offered to fire up my sled and help get them out but there was a cabin up there that someone stocked with dry goods like pasta, rice, dried soups, pots & pans, fire wood, blankets....... and it had a stove and sleeping hammocks in it. Luckily they had a brought a bottle of whiskey so decided just to spend the night in the cabin. We got them out the next morning.
 
I’m guessing they ran a quick scout or hunt last minute without much of a plan, took limited gear, and got lost. Sounds like weather moved in and they weren’t prepared.

Solid theory without any info on cause of death. If the autopsy can confirm a cause of death that will tell us a lot. Just not much info from that video.

Unalived annoys the shit out of me for some reason. Like not enough to ever confront or tell someone not to use it. I think the unnecessary compulsion to make up new terms of words for things that already have multiple words or terms that work just fine and have for many years is what bothers me. Dead, killed, passed, deceased, lost, expired etc… all mean the same thing. Why do we need another term for death that sounds awkward and uncomfortable? We don’t…

Then there’s the ulterior motives for changing, altering and inventing new terms that is completely insufferable. LGBTQ community love to make up new words, that way they can see who acquiesces and to their ridiculous demands. Then they know who they can take advantage of and who they can falsely label as their oppressors. This is how you identify who to blame for all your problems and who you can manipulate.

You realize that the reason people use that term has nothing to do with anything you stated, right?
