[God is a Husker]

We’ve got 8 calves that hang around my school. Their mothers have been hit by cars so now they are a pack. I almost hit one ever night when I leave practice. Pretty sure it’s how I’m going to die.

A literal gang of moose juvenile delinquents?

I think I've told the story before, but when I was a District Sales Manager in the Twin Cities, the manager of our Duluth facility had his vehicle literally "kicked to death" by a bull moose while visiting a client. Their manufacturing facility had a long access road through the forest of northern MN and about halfway down the road, a bull moose popped out and Dennie's car surprised him. During the attack, Dennie jumped in the back seat and hid on the floorboard while getting showed with glass from the exploding windows. He told me that he was certain he was going to die, but eventually the moose realized that he'd gone "scoreboard" on Dennie's Honda Accord and wandered back into the woods.

Given their size and temperament, their certainly not a critter to be trifled with.

Put it this way...I'm just as nervous when I see a moose as I am a bear when I'm fishing. Cows with calves are especially dangerous. I about had a heart attack this summer when a cow and her calf darted behind me, maybe 10 yards away, and swam across the creek. She didn't even see me which then had me nervous about what made her panic.

Yea, what the hell were THEY running from? I know bears & wolves are up there - do y’all have mountain lion, too?

Just beers and wolves. It could have been a bear or just people. There are a lot of berries around the stream/woods that are popular with people.

Depression among hunters is a real thing. My nephew Carl spent hundreds of dollars on the outfit and gear only to get completely shut out while hunting a few years ago. Many tried to tell him the city park was not a good place to hunt deer...he didn’t listened. He had an extended stay at a mental health facility, hasn’t hunted since.

Completely forgot about the most dangerous animal on the planet: homo sapiens.

I saw a big hole in the ground last weekend and decided to hike to the bottom

Hope that's semi automatic with a banana clip.

Imagine getting a super hot chick into a hotel room. She takes her socks off and out pops those fucking grisly ass troll feet.

I know it's a joke but I'm trying to talk myself into it being a real story.

It can’t be true, because gear and clothes would be thousands, not hundreds 😉. I would never want to know the tally of all my clothes and gear because it likely puts to shame my wife’s jewelry.

My nephew is a tightwad...he shops at Goodwill.

The prophecy has been fulfilled.

There were warning signs it was underway...
