came home from town today and found the 8x16 carport tent i had my car parked in front of- um parked in front of my car! um upsidedown!! :shock:
guess we had some wind today
in the mean time while i'm trying to get it at least out of the way i hear rustling in the brush and look around to find a less than friendly moose in the brush just off of my driveway guess its time for a beer and see what can be salvaged in the morning :-\

That's why yall carry them big pistols on your hip. I enjoy watching "Life below zero" and "Alaska State Troopers". It's certainly a different world up there. Winter's too long tho. ...and too cold.
-
Had to be quite a wind to blow a moose into your yard! I live in windy country and anchoring those tents seems nigh on to impossible to me. Did it pull stakes or what?
-
If moose are half as destructive as white tailed deer; you can keep them!
We've had such crazy weather here for the past 6 months, it's been an adventure here too...a bad one.
-
actually I've had the frame up for 2 winters but just finally got the top and sides for it so i didn't have it anchored down, will drive some kind of stakes or dead man pins before i put the sides back up. we got wild fires in 2 locations west of me now, my place is in no danger but the smoke is blowing right into the valley here and wrecking havoc with my solar power.
-
Fires aren’t something we have to worry about in Michigan; at least not the lower peninsula. Water water everywhere.
How do the bees react to constant smoke from forest fires out west?
-
you know I'm not sure how the bees react but i usually have a few honey bees in the yard during the day and haven't noticed any since monday, of course i haven't been here much.
-
good thing it wasn't the moose that took down your car tent. but having a beer with a nice moose steak makes for a really nice day
-
boy now that sounds real good right about now but season not open for a few more months however if a black bear was to come in my yard he would be extended an invitation to dinner in a heartbeat!

Just having a moose drop in for a beer is cool real cool
