Human Coelacanth transplanted to the big city. Professional studier of cervidae. Hunting, shooting, the outdoors, cooking, music, science and general hijinks. Just trying to be the man my dog thinks I am.
Looks like Cape Breton is holding firm! I underestimated them. Apparently only 10-20 guns handed in out of their target of 200. Wonder what this means, nationally? #guns #cdnpoli #gunrights #guncontrol #politics #canadianpolitics #canada

Having a short, civil debate on whether or not guns are designed "to kill" leads to this.

These people are insane lol. Can't imagine going through life with so much hatred in one's heart as to wish ill on someone for simply disagreeing with you, but...there it is

Tonight I learned (from the guy accusing ME of racism) that anyone with light skin is white!

Perhaps she was injured and no longer capable of hunting her normal prey ;)

Having tasted human flesh, she'll now become a man-eater forever more and teach her offspring the same

Jorj here compares hunters to child molesters. He can't even articulate why hunting is wrong in the first place, but he thinks they're less human than he is, since they "completely lack compassion and ethics".

The irony of this appears lost on him.

Well, that's a milestone of sorts.

Let it be known: Henceforth, any question that I do not like, or cannot answer, will forever be called "sealioning".

When your people have lived here since time immemorial and someone tells you to leave for having an opinion they don't like.

Yup....So different from the Conservatives.

Whitetail and mule deer can mate, but the offspring generally aren't viable. Not that they can't reproduce. They can. They just don't often live long enough to do much of it. Different survival stategies of each species combine badly

How Often do Whitetail and Mule Deer Hybridize?
As a scientist, it’s my job to be curious. I spend a lot of my time trying to figure out what makes animals tick and brainstorming ways that wildlife managers might be able to use that information to ...

Moose inventory footage, sadly filmed with a potato.

I'm pretty sure this cow is actually blind, but seems to be getting through the winter just fine, as this was shot in late February/early march.

Complains about a lack of critical thinking....while butthurt that I pointed out the government spent a half billion dollars and half a decade working on seizing hundreds of thousands of guns that never hurt anyone, totally ignoring the smuggled guns that do.

Until they needed votes.

The Federal budget estimate for 2025-2026 allocates $342 million for a gun buyback five years in the making. That whole time we never heard about the guns smuggled over the border killing more people every year, til Trump dissed Canada and it was an election cycle.

2/2: I suspect this person is unwell, and do not wish them ill. But this happens A LOT. Usually from people who say they oppose hate and call themselves an ally to many. I could never imagine responding to someone with "poor little black" for example or mocking their sexual orientation.

1/2: Part of why I am on Bluesky is an experiment of sorts. Documenting hate speech gun owners face. Case in point: Gender based (weird since I don't discriminate against women) sexual orientation (doesn't bother me, nothing wrong with being gay) and racial (assumw I am white, but so what if I was)

Bro claims inanimate objects are responsibe for deaths, points to US firearms deaths. Mostly suicides and most suicides don't use a gun.

I make an internal critique to show him that by his reasoning, access to rope kills.

He crashes out, mocking his own reasoning and mindlessly repeating "rope"

Starting point for the SKS 7.62x39 hunting load. 123gr Barnes TSX. Lead free ammo is important to me as it takes very little lead exposure to harm scavenging birds like ravens, crows and eagles. 26.5 grains of CFE BLK powder, which produces great velocities and lower pressures.
June 2, 2025 at 2:57 AM
The legal status of the SKS by this fall is uncertain to say the least, but let's not let that be discouraging. Time to develop some ammo to get this one out hunting deer. 1963-64 produced and used by the Chinese PLA, this early series is in surprisingly good shape.

Tried to help a widow who inherited her husbands guns understand that some of them may be on the list of 2500 that were prohibited in the last few years. Received nothing in return but the most vile insults. People are weird.

This is pretty cool! The article uses "confirms" improperly, as we knew lots of humans have Neanderthal DNA within our genome for quite some time. But a child showing part of both phenotypes is new!
