  6. Reminds me of when I was a kid, proudly holding up a Canada goose that I thought was dead…… you only do that ONCE.

  7. That’s beautiful, I believe it.
    I was part of a group that had a beaver (Castor Canadensis) on the end of a rope.
    Also impossible!

  10. Now, when a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed. What they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.
    Thanks for that Kate . Still have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. (O:}

  11. Sitting in a back country lady’s living room one day I noticed a grizzly bear rug in the middle of the room. I asked about two hairless lines around the bear’s neck. The lady explained that the bear had been killing her cattle so she and her dad rode out on their horses to try and spot the bear. They found it and in a moment of bravado over brains they lassoed the bear. Then using expert horsemanship they tied the bear between two trees. She rode back to the house got the old Lee Enfield and voila an instant grizzly bear rug. It looked nice beside the cougar rug that came from an encounter in her chicken coop….

  14. This was making the rounds via email 3, 4, maybe 5 years ago. Funny then, still funny. I’m sure it could be found somewhere in my archives.
    FrankB- I agree with the Pat McManus similarity.
    For years enjoyed his regular columns in Outdoor Life; have three of his books containing many of his outlandish tales.
    Nice to pick one up occasionally and read one of his short stories. Sometimes one will elicit a mild guffaw, other times a side-splitting, tear-inducing response.
    Fantastic humourist and storyteller.

  23. The Sami rope reindeer that are essentially wild; why is a deer so different? Funny story.
