And sturgeon...that is one of the tastiest fish. I dont want to catch one but i dont mind eating them :D

That was definitely known as BC Bud outside of BC, for sure. But a lot of strains came out of BC called BC Bud. Jordan of the islands created a lot of the strains that made BC famous. But he sadly lost all those famous mom cuts to the popo in a raid.

Luckey me recieved a cut and then later a male of old Jordan godbud genetics, pre bust. Thanks again Heathen.
I have lots of seed preserved, and just popped a few to do some auto crossing. Going to see if i can get some of that good grape turpyness to auto.
I havent really talked to hethen about how and what he selected, but im thinking its more of the hawian side he selected for. The mom i have can get big. Was 6' in the greenhouse last fall.
Im hoping to get a good male and female i can cross both ways to some auto genetics. Hopfully will be able to get a second generation seeds gojng for next spring.

JOTI and Breeder Steve, yeah? Seems like them and House of the Great Gardener get the majority of breeding credit around there.

Breeder Steve really put BC on the Map. His Blockhead, sweet tooth and shiskaberry were legendary, you see Blockhead and sweet tooth in the lineage of many of today's best strains. And yep Joti, hogg, and honestly a good handful of organized crime affiliated breeders that were operating large scale breeding programs in the wide open back then, smuggling in exotic strains from around the world and selecting phenos from tens of thousands of plants for mass production, as well as creating several popular triploid gmo varieties like the first pink kush to hit the market. It was a hotbed of canna-activity for a couple decades here.

This is from Yellowstone, so obviously not Canada, but I wanted to share without starting a new thread.

Grizzlies may be the most badass animal walking. This one makes an entire pack of wolves(I count at least 13) his bitch. The wolves try to intimidate the bear but he ain't having it.

It's becoming a bear thread, so sue me. ?

Hearing that British Columbia COs killed 142 black bears in September sounded like a big number until I read further :

Officials estimate B.C.'s black bear population is about 120,000 to 160,000.

So 142 is 0.11% of the population at the most conservative estimate.

bc.ctvnews.ca

Here's how many black bears were killed by B.C. conservation in September, according to provincial data

Dozens more black bears were killed by conservation officers in B.C. last month, the latest provincial data shows.

Okay, let's bring it back to cannabis. ;) I wonder how many of those bears are unemployed because of legalization?

Part of me can't help but wonder if a Bear has been eaten by a Wels Catfish. Wels today aren't nearly the size of their historical records; Some say 880 pounds.... A Wels that big, you would NOT want to be swimming anywhere near it. I can imagine a Bear on the side of a River in Germany, or the Ukraine, and it's in the water drinking some or fishing, and then a Wels comes in and nails it.

I'm thinking the bear wins that one unless the wels is able to kill it on the first bite.
Too many sharp claws, IMO. Even if the cat swallows it, the bear will shred from inside. Even if the bear dies, the cat is likely toast as well.

I'd eat it. Catfish is wonderful. Haven't tasted Bear yet but there is some in the freezer.

Now for a Wels VS Bear; If the Bear was drinking water, or standing in it, if the Wels grabbed it head first, it would kill the bear once the sphincter muscle Catfish have in the back of their throats closed on it, it'd be done for for sure. Now if it grabbed a Bear and it was a limb, it would probably depend on the depth of the water I think, as the bear is also incredibly strong, and could probably stand up, but it still has to get through a solid head to do any real damage.

I know of Piraiba, a species of Catfish in the Amazon, that have choked to death on grown men so it could go either way; Either they'd both die, or one of them wouldn't be hungry anymore LOL.

Now a Goonch from India, doesn't need a full on swallow of the Bear, as they have Teeth like a shark. If I had WAY more room I'd totally have a Pet one lol. Hard enough with the Red Tail though; He got moved into a new home yesterday, and his tail knock the lid RIGHT off the plastic track holding it in place while he was being put in the new home. My hand fits in his mouth now, Thank God Red Tails learn their owners hahaha!

We legit have to keep the door with him locked so the actual Cat doesn't go in there; Hannibal (My Red Tail) already took a shot at her last year and WOW was it shocking! The Cat messes with Goldfish in the pond out front, but inside there are fish that mess with the Cat. She put her paw on the side of his tank, and all he saw was something that fit in his mouth, so he swam up to the top and waited, and then she jumped on the lid and I grabbed her.... Silly Cat on Cat violence not on my watch LOL. Hannibal has since learned how to swim up and jump, and knock the lid off his tank so we just don't allow the Cat in that room haha.

CBC.ca: How 560 kilometres of tweaked fences is helping save Alberta's pronghorn.

We just call them goats.
Loads and loads around here. Super lean, best for pepperoni and sausage. Intense to bow-hunt with decoy puppets.

I have seen Mule Deer clear an 8 foot fence. Yet, I have never seen a goat go over any fence. Any height , never.
They will fail and pile up sometimes. The males can get there antlers hung up, when they slide,,, and how they slide!
You can watch it with your own eyes -but it happens so fast it makes a fellow wonder what he just saw.
The photo in the news article is just a baby, looks like a slow crawl. They literally lay out flat and buzz under that fence doing 50.

We don't have 'em up here, but I remember when I was staying in Taber while doing a job at Sheerness and every day I'd have to dodge those little fuckers on the road.

Two things from the article: I didn't know or had forgotten that they were the world's second fastest land animal, and man has T.J. Schwanky gotten old since last I saw a photo.

There is a solid reason how that bear got it's name...It is the only word to describe a site where a human is killed by a Grizzly!
