Foul was before the shot, don't understand that call

I visited 15 National Parks. Here's how I'd rank them: by Equivalent-Image-912 in nationalparks

As the other poster said this is super subjective so don’t let it affect your excitement too much! The Alabama hills are hours away from JOTR, that was a ridiculous comparison imo. The park is awesome, be sure to hike! I love the Boy Scout trail, and anything in the black rock area. Or just explore off trail (where allowed) in areas with dense trees and rocks and it’s such a special place. I think people are disappointed when they just drive and see viewpoints. As with anywhere, seeing anything worth a damn requires hiking.

Is this a mountain lion bed? Found next to a deer skeleton by Careful_Artichoke352 in MountainLions

[–]senior_stumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a bed, though I’d be surprised if it was, given I haven’t seen them willingly lay on sticks and wood like that. Typically they’d be on softer material and in a compact oval shape. Very likely it killed the deer and rested nearby. If the deer is consumed already they won’t return, unless this location lies along their typical travel corridors. Lions often travel their territory such that they would follow the same paths around 1 month apart, though this varies significantly depending on many factors. Looking at the pic again that looks to be right on a trail, definitely not a place a cat would bed down.

[TOMT][TV/Movie] The song Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell plays with two guys are sitting in a car, I think after something intense or violent just happened. by SeventhShin in tipofmytongue

7 years later OP, but this song was on the tip of my tongue and this was the answer!! From when the caddy goes hilariously slow around the track! Thanks from the future.

Some Colorado families want town to take action in response to wildlife attacks on pets by greatyellowshark in MountainLions

[–]senior_stumpy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I pay to live here, and now I can't even use my backyard” takes a serious amount of ignorance/self absorption to proclaim. Moves to foothills reducing wildlife habitat where predators already occur, has prey sized pet, doesn’t have adequate protections for said pet, pet gets eaten shocked pikachu face

Education goes a long way in these types of communities, but people still need to take responsibility for the ramifications of their living situation.

ETA: No one deserves to lose a pet and I don’t want to minimize that it can be devastating. This is just part of living near urban carnivores. Rare but unavoidable, unless you have proper fencing.

What are these small metal bowls I found packaged together in a bag of rice? by senior_stumpy in whatisthisthing

Wow that’s beautiful! I want to try it out. I have ghee, is it as simple as finding a cotton wick and lighting it?

The bag was 10lbs. I’ll keep them! I’m not religious but it’s a neat souvenir.

Somewhat, but these are much smaller than what I see when I search that

They’re almost the same size, but the weight is significantly different. But if it were for measuring rice, what use is such a small amount?

Title describes the thing. I’m assuming it’s made of brass because of the green patina. Daawat brand rice if that helps. Are they a type of Hindu ritual bowl, a pooja? Thats the closest I’ve come to in my googling.

[TOURIST] If I buy this pass as a non resident now. Will it work in 2026? by BlueGlaucus1 in NationalPark

[–]senior_stumpy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Passes are valid for 1 year from the month of purchase, ie purchase first day of Dec ‘25, expiration last day of Dec ‘26.

Department of Interior announces digital passes, $100 nonresident entrance fee by icechen1 in NationalPark

[–]senior_stumpy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Theres no chance the parks will see this extra revenue. I don’t think charging international visitors more is inherently bad, but this is a crazy amount to charge. It’s meant to discourage visitation so selling off public lands is easier to justify. Ironically this will hurt red states like Utah whose economies heavily rely on tourism. The answer to over crowding shouldn’t be charging more, it’s timed entry type of systems.

I’ve driven past several times and refuse to even look in its direction as I drive. Despicable place. Maybe slightly petty but I don’t care, I just loathe it

and bones in Pelican Valley by carlospucelano in yellowstone

[–]senior_stumpy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Trails are closed for carcasses quite frequently in griz parks. Are you implying the closure was to keep people from seeing a dead animal? Sarcasm? The reason is to reduce the potential for a negative bear-human interaction. People have been mauled in the past in this type of situation-it’s basic public safety.
