Hey, is that an IDF approved uniform?

But they move so fast that you would be lucky to be that accurate. I'll take slugs.

Well, there was a couple of hill walkers who had to be rescued by a Coastguard helicopter in the Scottish Orkney Islands on Monday after being attacked by some Sea birds (Great Skuas). Is this what you are refering to?

Reminds me of the gamer adage, "I don't have to be faster than the dragon, I just have to be faster than you *trip*"

Y'know, seems to me that my little concoction would work just fine on raptors as it does on zombies, trees, rocks, houses, cars...

Cannisters of HFl3, yep, a little dab'll do ya!!!


Trying to get the drop on them is futile. Better to use a deterrant, such as T-Rex urine.

Speaking of pee... I noted with interest that one of the groups in the Alaska Project on Discovery channel collected urine to mark around their cabin.

They noted that it did nothing to affect the movements of the bears, but the wolves who previously were wandering around right outside their cabin, stayed about 100 yards away after they made their urine perimeter.

So it was interesting to note that different animals will react differently to urine marks.

Depends on where in the food chain the urine comes from. With bears in Alaska, what would they possibly fear? Most of the time they associate human smells with possible food anyways, thanks to the foolishness of many. Wolves not being quite the insatiable omnivores that bears are, and generally having mostly bad experiences with humans, it just makes sense.

Now, if you get something that starts chasing down and eating bears on a regular basis, that might be worth collecting. Of course then we have another new link in the food chain to contend with, eh?

Maybe Bigfoot pee might work???

Got a Remington 870 with slugs and 00 buck, will that work???

Based on the extreme rarity of said bigfoot, I would have to say that bigfoot is not a very successful predator. Not successful enough to breed, anyways.

I bet there's a government research grant in there somewhere. You could propose setting up unisex sasquatch urinals in the woods to collect bigfoot pee.

Supposedly some guys are going to prove the existence of Bigfoot this Friday by producing an actual body.

Getting back to urine and bears. I just wonder if all large mammals necessarily react to urine of other animals. Perhaps bears just don't care and wolves do. Do bears mark their territory with urine? I thought they claw a tree or something to mark their territory.

Perhaps there is some other scent that would deter bears, just as the smell of grape bubble gum deters geese.
