I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

A moose once bit my sister.

Around 40,000 moose are expected to be shot between now and Christmas nationwide.

That's a lot of moose! (Meese?)

I used to drink Mooseheads, but then I discovered Henry Weinhard's "Blue Boar" Pale Ale, and now that's all I drink. Good stuff, and at a good price too. You can get a twelve pack for a couple of dollars more than a six pack of Moosehead.

Oh, wait, you weren't talking about beer? Darn!

I tried moosehead but the antlers kept getting in the way

I was fond of the antlered bottles myself for quite a while, but then I discovered Spaten and Julius Echter Weiss on tap.

'Haven't been drinking from the Great White North well since.

But, re the link-- the whole business of gutting a 1000 lb moose-- that would require a lot of suds.

New wolf pack roams eastern Norway

A group of men out hunting moose in the eastern Norwegian valley called Oesterdalen had a close encounter with a pack of wolves last Saturday. They snapped digital photos and experts now say the wolves constitute a new family.

Researchers need to wait for new snow before they can try tracking the wolves spotted last weekend.

Researcher Petter Wabakken, who specializes in tracking predators at a college in Hedmark, confirms the wolves seen last weekend are the offspring of a pair observed in the area last winter.

"This means we have a new flock on Norwegian soil," Wabakken told newspaper Aftenposten Friday. He has dubbed it "Julussaflokken," after the name of the area where they're roaming.

The hunters told newspaper Hamar Arbeiderblad that the wolves came so close that they fired warning shots to scare them off. They counted as many as six wolves as they took digital photos.

The area that they're believed to call home borders on that where the so-called "Graafjellflokken" roams farther north in Oesterdalen. More puppies also have been spotted there this year.

Environmental officials have designated the area as a safe haven for the wolves, where they'll be allowed to establish themselves with no hunting allowed.

Meanwhile, another wolf pack that frequented the area east of Moss, south of Oslo, has disappeared. Authorities believe the male leader of the pack was shot in an illegal hunt. Aftenposten English Web Desk

My wife is from Poland, and she's told me that when she was camping in the mountains in south-eastern Poland, they could hear the wolves howl.

I think they'll have a hard time convincing the "peasants" not to shoot wolves.
