    That was a process. I still haven't figured out why the eagle trapping though. Feathers?
    Geez, and people here say Catholic ceremonies are overly-involved superstition.

    Still going to enjoy telling the neighbors what the new stone circle of death is in the front yard.

    Photographs of pre-Columbian Indians? As in the times prior to Columbus's arrival in N. America?? I wasn't aware photography existed in the 1400's.

    The Flintstones had cameras, you idiot. So of course they had photography.

    a friend has access to two golden eagles mounted from an estate. nobody is sure when they where mounted, but the guess is between 1930 and 1950 and there is no documentation. they were taken in vermont.

    they are at a loss as what to do with them. I am sure they would like to sell them.

    does anybody have any advice?

    I’ll take one. We have a quail problem in our garden and a stuffed eagle would solve this. Pics?

    Personally I'd make them disappear. I'm not saying I'm the most upstanding citizen, but the fish cops have a hard on over eagle parts.

    The camp of Indians which we visited were chiefly engaged in catching war eagles, to make head dresses.

    It’s the first sentence. Yes. Feathers

    But I found this interesting:
    The eagles are brought alive into the camp, and after some ceremony the tails are pulled out, and they are let go to grow another tail for the next year.

    You should check a better map if you're interested in snow leopards or tigers in Russia. Just because they are in part of the country doesn't mean the range extends across all of it. I also think Alaska doesn't have cougars

    The ‘inevitable abuse’ you get is not from your name, it’s from you having an online persona of being a racist, ignorant, Trump defending POS.

    Better to rehearse dead than live it for real.

    Fucking bison, people mistake the fact that they don't give much of a fuck about anything much less some stupid person getting close and then for whatever reason they decide to stick a horn in you.

    Being gored sounds horrible, but fitting.
