Alaskan's Journal

@Latestarter bribes his goats with cereal. Bet they would go for Cheetos as well.

 

[Alaskan]

Nope... all cheetos are mine.




Moose died at the base of the hill, blasted eagles all over the place now... hope they don't decide to go after my poultry.

 

[Rammy]

How did it die? Something get it?

 

[Alaskan]

No idea actually. I didn't see the carcass, neighbor did and said it wasn't clear to him why it died.

No vultures up here so that is what eagles are up here... flying rats that eat garbage as well as kill small critters like rabbits and poultry.

 

[Alaskan]

Oh... this is the season for moose deaths ... the mothers kick off last year's offspring in preparation for calving in the spring.

The yearlings are as smart as a bucket of rocks.

I had one last week that would NOT get off the road for me. I stopped and waited 10 minutes... didn't get off. . I pushed him to a nice easy walk out spot with almost zero berm and waited.... didn't get off.

I ended up pushing him all of the blasted way up to my house.

Isn't that why Ben Franklin thought the turkey would be a better national symbol than a carrion eating Bald Eagle?

Totally yep

I ended up pushing all of the blasted way up to my house.

Did you open the door so it could go inside?

 

[Alaskan]

Ha! Nope, he went past the house.

 

[Rammy]

Did you open the door so it could go inside?

Yeah! Right into the freezer!
