We and the few neighbors we have close by, regularly catch Moose, Mule deer, Elk, Mountain lions, Coyotes, the occasional bear, and other animals on our cameras. Any of them can be dangerous. A neighbor had a mountain lion kill and eat a mule deer in his backyard. It was a bloody Christmas morning scene. Fortunately his kids were old enough that they didn't think it was Rudolph...

I would have to agree the only thing that really scares me in my corner of CO is mountain lions. Really the closest thing we have to a true predator. Fortunately they tend to stay away from people.
Rattlesnakes are concerning but that's a bite and done. A mountain lion can carry you away or render you unconscious quickly.
I'm in the country and the deer still run from people. But in town just 30 minutes away, the deer are not scared of people or dogs. I think they need to be shot with those guns that lob a large projectile and just hurt, thus they learn getting too close to humans = serious discomfort.

Hey Joe I think that’s a grizzly bear
More specifically…your Wife’s divorce lawyer
Definitely not a good thing hitting a moose. A picture from our affiliated body shop from last week
Ticks and mosquitoes kill more folks than all of those animals combined.
One of the kent Rollins stories from youtube said he heard a rattlesnake while setting up camp for a cowboy event. As it was still dark and drinking his coffee he noticed rattlesnake tracks that went right through the camp near the stove.
Montana offers better benefits.
In Canada, for sure it’s grizzly bears in BC and Alberta, Polar bears in NWT and Manitoba ( Churchill) , and moose in Newfoundland.

I knew a cougar from Canada. Definitely inspired the most danger signs for me.
I guess they have them in Florida as well

Moose cause allot of grief in Canada as well - that’s one high CG right there
Little ball of hate
1st - Salmonella is not deadly.
2nd - You cannot catch salmonella if the eggs are washed with water. Commercially available eggs are always washed out with water or some sanitation solution. It's a FDA requirement to prevent salmonella poisoning.
3rd - I eat 1-2 raw eggs daily and never got salmonella or food poisoning (you can get the last if eggs are too old).
4th - It's misleading to talk like that if you've never eaten raw eggs and/or have never got salmonella.
And drivers over 73!!! They are the worst!!!I do not see women driver listed anyplace!?

I was actually thinking of raw chicken lol...and it was a joke but people do die from salmonella so I would say it can be deadly for the 420 people a year who die from it...maybe not the ones who don't tho lol...
