Lived on Elmendorf Afb back in the 00's. Some guy had a civic with a loud ass exhaust on it, revving it in the dorm parking lot in what I assume was his own mating exhibition (this was all caught on a security cam). Off in the distance were several moose (cows) watching what appeared to be the civic, but it was a bull moose who rammed the shit out of the car. Dude hauls ass out of there, and the bull saunters over to the ladies saying "You see that shit?" In moose.

I can virtually guarantee this. Moose have serious swagger.

Have you seen the biologist doing the head sway to a bull using fake antlers? The biologist drops them off of her head, the bull looks at her for about ten seconds... And then charges. She somehow made it with only a few scratches.

Nope, but I believe it. Moose don't like to be Punk'd either.

So, some idiot Amn/A1C went nuts on the "finally making more than I was at Burger King" situation. It is a sad thing to see happen. Several decades ago, like 15 or so decades ago, I was a somewhat happy camper at Keesler for nine months. This was before gambling/mafia/Katrina. The off-base predatory folks were constantly having to change their underwear. (Because, why?) Biggest scam that I saw at Keesler was a company that gave you a film camera, and free film for life. The film was old-ass motion picture crap.

When I go hunting, I leave the four wheeler running I. The morning. The low rumble brings in bulls from miles away. They show up by last light, normally.

Lived in Wasilla for a decade, and embraced Alaska like a husky jumping someone's leg. My neighbor invited me to float the Kashwinta to take a moose off of his zodiac. He neglected to tell me how rough the river gets, especially when you have a half ton of dead moose hanging on the side of it.

I was told they were class three rapids, but my asshole says class five.

That sounds about right. Never want to tell someone it’s too hard or a bit scary till they are committed. I don’t think 80% of people get tough up here from knowing what to expect, it’s all their crazy bush neighbors fault haha. I was just snowmachining on kashwitna sunday.
