Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Impressive: last year, a guy in Ohio killed the largest whitetail deer in Ohio and the third largest in North America. Cue up the interviews and triumphant music. Quadratic fines?! That's pretty wild, should be used in other areas lol. I had to look up what 'jacklightning' meant, and holy poo poo it's spotlight hunting, gently caress that guy. I'm amazed it's legal anywhere in the world, it has a lovely habit of getting bystanders killed. No real sympathy for the guy, hunting laws exist for a reason and people who intentionally circumnavigate them are just assholes looking to play with a gun. (This probably doesn't really hit as hard if you're in the states, I guess)

disclaimer, I haven't read Wildlife Wars yet but the author had a segment on This American Life where he brought down salmon poachers in the middle of the night by putting on a wetsuit, hiding in the river, and letting the poachers reel him in. so he sounds cool.

Although, that’s not the part of the head you’re supposed to use in football/soccer. I have no clue if there all rules about that, though. minato posted:Pepper Pig  Somehow, I ended up back on page 310 and rewatched this clip: And it suddenly occurred to me that it looks like the bike heard a mouse under the concrete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP15zlyra3c This is what happens when I watch videos in this thread as soon as I wake up.

I'm amazed it's legal anywhere in the world, it has a lovely habit of getting bystanders killed. In nz hunting is allowed on public land from 30 min before sunrise to 30 min after sunset. It's also illegal to have any attachments that would allow for hunting after dark, such as torches or night vision on your rifle. The people who break these rules are exactly the fuckwits that scare the poo poo out of me knowing they're loose with firearms. Mate of mine had his dog shot because some fuckwit saw a four legged thing in a thermal scope and just had a crack at it. Since it's legal on private land there's also no laws to say that the various gun shops can't sell any night hunting gear, half of them don't even bother with a wink nudge sign talking about the laws anymore.

Yea I'm kiwi too, that story about a camping lady getting blown away since some git did spotlight hunting at a road end and mistook her headtorch for a deer-eye's reflection. (edit: Rosemary Ives) For something a big more lighthearted, got to traumatize a couple of Aussies the other day when talking about possums. Their precious endangered species is a pest in NZ for those who don't know, so there's a tonal whiplash equivalent of a yank visiting Canada and watching the locals chase down bald eagles with shovels. Conservation is a land of contrasts! Serephina has a new favorite as of 06:16 on May 13, 2024 |

(edit: Rosemary Ives) So a possum is Australia's equivalent the bald eagle? I thought it would be a kangaroo or a koala bear. Also I think it'd be pretty hard to kill a bald eagle with a shovel, since you know, they can fly.

My story about poachers of aquatic critters getting caught isn’t nearly that elaborate, but it was fun to see unfold. We were sitting down to a picnic lunch with a beautiful sea view. We happened to be right next to one of the pair of monuments that defined the bay as a protected marine sanctuary. Looking across the water at the monument on the far side, anything to the right of the line was protected. Anything to the left was fair game. About the time I’m spreading out the blanket, a fishing boat pulls in and drops line on the left side. Before we’d finished dessert, the coasties were on the scene and boarding the wayward vessel. It was like a private dinner theatre.

Possums are endangered? First time hearing this. The Australian colony's coat of arms is an emu and kangaroo. Both are eaten and are not endangered.

I don't think I've met an Aussie that would give a poo poo if you crawled in their roof with a knife in your teeth to skin alive the possums in there loving. You'd probably get a beer for your trouble.

Speaking of australian mammals, here's a yellow-footed antechinus I saw this morning! The males go into a breeding frenzy so exhausting that it kills them in their first year of life.

carrionman posted:In nz hunting is allowed on public land from 30 min before sunrise to 30 min after sunset. It's also illegal to have any attachments that would allow for hunting after dark, such as torches or night vision on your rifle. It's pretty much the same thing here in Australia. You can get in real trouble if you get caught on public land with a thermal or night vision device even during daylight hours since thermals can help spot deer during the day. But apparently the gun shops all sell shitloads of thermals because there's not a huge amount of enforcement, and as in NZ they can be used legally on private land - they're really good for shooting foxes and rabbits at night. Wear something bright when you're out in the bush is my advice. Bald Stalin posted:Possums are endangered? First time hearing this. Brushtail possums aren't endangered but as a native species they are protected. Roos (and some wallabies - in tasmania only I think) are one of the few native species that can be hunted in the wild because there's plagues of them in the country. The emus you can eat are farmed afaik.
