All losses were because of wildlife which tends to sometimes include my butch ass aunt. No bad intentions though lots of deaths this year for our litters. Had to yell at a few smaller wolves while shovelling at 5 am because they started sizing me up. Two 3 legged bears in a year? trappers aren't getting the job done one of the bear went through the god damn house siding for a meal. A 9 foot long timberwolf pelt? yep. that exists. Apparently they sound like horses when they run down the paved road. and my god do I have some stories... thought this was the best way to share what might be interesting since you can ask whatever picks your interest.

edit... I forgot to include: MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS!!!!! lol and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! since that isn't past tense yet lol

how many times did you go outside to write your name in the snow?

[–] [Deleted] 5 points (+5|-0)

The days were mostly highs of -20 C. I only did once while walking the dog because it's too risky leaving even a Rottweiler alone at night there. Beer + the stars are amazing. I get why it's called "Milky Way". I left my water pipe outside for about 10 minutes and it was frozen solid. so yea... not much tinkle tinkle outdoors

yessir. Found pieces of a Cat around the fence.... Owl. The cats all died because it was a white litter. Unless there's snow you're fucked if you have white fur.

How far north were you? Top of a province or into the territories?
I used to live in the far north area of BC, and your experience could have happened there, but I get the feeling you're talking about further north.

Top of Ontario, West of James Bay. BC has those Grizzlies... did you own a sound stick? or bear stick, whatever they're called?

I've been close to that area, Smokey Falls. I worked in some northish Ontario towns for a while. Thunder Bay and Sudbury etc.
We've got grizzlies, bear bells/sticks are used by many, and are a good idea. I never did, but I made a point of not sneaking up on them. They are mostly not dangerous if you are aware. They generally will only become aggressive if they are surprised, or have young around.
That said, we never went into the deep woods unarmed, even as children.

I figured you were in a different area because the wolves in the west don't usually get as big as you described.

O.o I see. Yeah I was surprised at the size... I thought that they'd be 100-120 pounds or so because they're wild and wild things aren't always fed very well but they are absolutely massive wolves. Good to hear you've got a gun that's important in the North, can't trust anything especially after dark.

What got the cats?? Poor kittens. If mom cat survived was she moping? Sounds like a great place. Do you like 4chan green texts of creepypasta? This story reminds me of the place you were recently.

uhh haven't heard of it... I lurk on 4chan a bit but I don't really have the time... could you send me a link to it? It sounds like I'd be interested :D
