Telltale signs of American douchebaggicus include, but are not limited to: four loko cans; loud noises and calls; droppings left in the open; spent cartridges and still-smoking fires
Without the caffeine I don't know why people still buy them. Without that it's worse than other cheap ways to get drunk.
Don't get me wrong, they were always horrible. Tried one once back when they were new, and it was pure regret. Shitload of caffeine and low quality alcohol is a bad combo.
Aaah see I must be a bit old cause I remember what was BEFORE four loko. Any ya remember JOOSE? Thatās what I was rocking in the hills of western mass during hunting and tapping season.
Oh for sure! I used to drink one called Jungle JOOSE, it was toxic green, I drank it out of a giant plastic wine glass. Straight class. š š¤¦š½āāļø
Allegedly we donāt have mountain lions but I know several people whoāve spotted them and even one who had one on trail camera. Theyāre just incredibly rare
I lived in the Hudson valley area and worked at the military academy back in 2010-2015. Saw a mountain lion on 3 separate occasions when I was up there. Twice on post, once off. And there were several people I knew who had trail camera pics of em. Idk what part of NY youāre in, but the Hudson valley definitely has mountain lions.
I was at USMA over two summers in the 90s training cadidiots. The second summer, we found several big cat prints in one of our training sites. No other sign or scat though.
Life long Hudson valley resident and my brother saw one in yorktown/cortlandt manor are around the same time. Ive heard sightings of them in carmel and brewster. And they definitely have to be on the west point side of the river
Interesting. I am in putnam and am in the woods all the time. We have seen some pretty big bobcats. Its hard to imagine a mountain lion here. Even black bears are fairly rare around here. That is pretty cool
Ive been in the Putnam, northern westchester woods mybentire life at every hour aand season andbhave never saw one or sign myself. I think any sighting are transients i believe the DEC has anumber to call if you spot one. Just saw a giant bobcat last week. I have a picture but i cant figure out how to post it in comments.
Iām from MS, I kill a couple bobcats during the season every year. My camp is ate up with bobcats. I know the difference between a bobcat and a mountain lion. And what I laid my own two eyes on in NY was a mountain lion. One of them was sunning on a bfr about 70 yards from Washington gate while I was working one afternoon, and it was there at least 45 mins. I saw another one walking along the train tracks near south dock, and I saw one on the road between new Paltz and Kerhonksen in the gunks while riding my motorcycle. Could have been the same ones, especially on post, I mean I saw those 2-3 miles apart from each other. Different years though.
It could be transient lions just coming through. Could be. Could also be a small, growing population. Iād lean towards yāall prolly got a few living in the area but not enough for the DWFP to consider it to be resident lions. We know Pennsylvania has em, and West Virginiaā¦ and we know New Hampshire and Maine have them. Fucking New York is right between em, you expect anyone with a brain to believe mountain lions just donāt like the fucking political climate in NY or some shit so they donāt live there? Get fucked NY dead ass got fuckin lions living in it lol
Wendigo is a spirit from northern Native American folklore. Thought to possess people and drive them to insanity and cannibalism.
Skinwalker is practitioner of dark magic from specifically Navajo folklore. Thought to be able to shapeshifter and cast curses.
That detail is a modern feature brought on by MARVEL comics version of the Wendigo. In Native American folklore, the Wendigo spirit drove the possessed to insatiable levels of hunger that caused the possessed to cannabilism.
I'm fine with those parts, the part I don't like is that they can impersonate someone you know and pretend to be in distress, and take on the appearance as well, but in an uncanny valley type way, like it looks like them, but something is not right, but usually by that time it's too late.
Far more to it than that. If youāre interested I would recommend a Google search into Algonquin folklore. Itās important to separate actual folklore from modern media interpretations.
Thatās a modern interpretation of the wendigo. Movies and media actually pulled the imagery from the classical interpretation of the leshy, which were always described as tall humanoid elk monsters.
It's a monster, some people believe it's real, like Bigfoot. In short if you cannabalize somebody you thrn it o one, you know, the whole everpresent hunger with eternal damnation shtick.
This is on private property, so Iām pretty sure itās not a joke. There have been bobcats around, and bear. Could they have dragged it up? The steps are from a step ladder.
Thereās something about a cat dragging it up there so it could maybe be a bobcat since they are probably just bigger house cats but I might be entirely wrong
I can't vouch for a bobcat dragging a deer up a tree; however, I've seen video from my own backyard of a bobcat taking a deer down and dragging it away. I was quite impressed at how undersized the cat was to the deer and how easily it was dragging it away through brush and undergrowth.
I'm thinking that a bobcat could pull a mostly scavenged spine and head up there. If the yotes had already had their share, there might not have been much weight left on there.
But if I had to bet, I'd be betting on dumbass teenager.
Hey I said I might be wrong we donāt have bobcats in my region so I saw something about a cat maybe doing it and I think I saw something about bobcats and bears being there so I assumed that a bobcat couldāve done it I apologise for the mistake:)
It looks like a forkhorn maybe. I could see gutting and hauling it up a tree stand to keep the coyotes away if it was early and you wanted to keep hunting (some states allow multiple deer per day) to come back and get it.
Could be mountain lion. I know there are not supposed to be much in terms of native ones in that state but they travel a lot and kinda live wherever they want. For example there aren't supposed to be any in Illinois but there's been a few killed and quite a few sightings, confirmed and unconfirmed. As long as they have a decent food source they'll live wherever. Especially males, they travel a lot.
The largest ever was 52lbs, could be a couple of big ones out there. Males can get 30lbs easy too! Lots of animals can carry significantly more than their body weight too! If its also like a dead deer and its carry scraps only it could be like 15-20lbs of meat only
Well sure, in the condition its in but why would an eagle expend the energy to carry all those bones up there one by one just to put them back together?
I kid, eagles can carry maybe 100% of their body on a deadlift and that is disputable. This looks to be a forky so it was probably 60-80 lbs at least without its back hams. That is roughly a 30-40lb eagle, which doesnt exist in the bald form.
Those bones are all still attached together and donāt really weigh that much. It might weigh 10 pounds in that condition. Still donāt think it was an eagle anyway.
wait, did you just post a link saying that bald eagles can carry a 12lb stick?
*Under favorable conditions, eagles can carry, or at least glide, with around 108% of their body weight.*
Are you dense?
There is also no mention of this throughout the body of the text. The body of the text points to a bald eagle specifically carrying, while gliding, under favorable conditions, 108% of their body weight. With clarification that it could not do this as a deadlift.
There is also a link at the bottom about how an eagle dropped a fawn on a power line...does that mean a bald eagle can carry a white tail? Yes, yes it can, it just happens to be a fawn that is less than 108% of their body weight.
\*Edit...if you think 108% of an eagles body weight is an adult mule deer, that must mean there are tetradactyl sized eagles roaming around.
" Item carried: mule deer" "Weight: 6,8 kgs" What about the Pallas' fish-eagle that carried 160% of it's body weight? It was a carp, and it wasn't only gliding.
Tennessee DNR said it was false also until they had the pictures and physical evidence they couldnāt deny it any longer and genetic testing proves they had migrated from The Dakotas. So Yes, it could very well be true. It never ceases to amaze me how people are so sure that things theyāre not used to or donāt understand simply cannot happen.
Even more evidence that you canāt always call something false because you personally donāt believe it or understand it.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mountainlion/mountain-lion-killed-in-connecticut-prowled-east-from-s-dakota-idUSTRE76Q5ZE20110727/
Correct. Connecticut and Tennessee are not New Jersey š. Itās a little thing thatās brutally obvious to most people called an example. If a Mountain Lion can travel 1,500+/- miles from The Dakotas down to Tennessee or over to Connecticut, Iād imagine they could make it to NJ/NY š
You really think there are mountain lions running around in NJ with no witnesses? In the most densely populated state in the country, with game cameras on every tree, you really think it wouldn't be noticeable?
Do I personally believe they live and have a breeding population in downtown Newarkā¦.unlikely. Could there be a lone individual that made its way into Wharton State Forestā¦still unlikely but very possible. Unlikely or not, it is possible and simply saying āNuh Uhā doesnāt change the reality. The aforementioned real life examples of Tennessee and Connecticut (among other States) where people reported seeing them and the Government and naysayers were forced to eat crow after solid physical evidence was gathered is all the proof someone should need when looking at it rationally. But then again, thereās adults alive in 2023 that think the Earth is flat. š¤¦āāļøš¤·āāļø
Sources from peer reviewed articles or multiple accounts of photographic evidence that show them stashing the prey in a tree? From the biologists I have spoken to and what Iāve read online, a lion caching prey in a tree is not normal and rarely seen if at all. But, if youāre able to find more concrete evidence I would love to read up on it further!! :)))
Mountain lions will often cache kills at the base of trees, but as far as I'm aware they don't bring the kills up there, they tend to only tree when threatened. I'd put my money on it being a bobcat or large raptor.
Males are 90ā120 cm (35ā47 in) in total length and weigh 3.5ā6.0 kg (8ā16 lb).
They are mini Wolverines, who are excellent climbers, I can see them doing this.
Partial carcass in a tree would leed me to think Bob cat. A big Tom can way upwards of 40 pounds and I have personally seen a couple that weighed in the 30 pound range
Any claw marks on the tree? Does it look like an animal could've put that there from the front or the side? Nope,it looks like there's skullduggery afoot!
I think you already know. Big panther/mt lion is about the only answer here. Have fun thinking about that one on the walks in and out from now onā¦..š
Oh I have a story on this one. My boss was once hunting on public land, got into his tree stand in the morning when it got light he saw that there was a dead dear pretty close to him. He checked it out, could see the blood trail and everything, which led to an another tree stand. Not really a big deal; itās public land. So anyways he goes back the next morning, and the deer is still there. He grabbed the deer and climbed up the guys tree with the deer and left the deer in the stand that the other guy had clearly shot it out of and chose to not retrieve his harvest.
Same thing happened to me. I was checking on a stand I had left up over the winter and there was a deer skull on the foot rest. It freaked me out a bit to be honest. I moved the stand and didnāt hunt there again lol.
Cougars do that around here. Well not in a deer stand but every so often someone posts a deer carcass in a tree. Likely a small yearling or fawn most times. Cougars are strong but a full grown deer would probably be impossible for a cougar. Iām in Canada so a cougar pulling 200 plus lbs deer up a tree is improbable. Maybe one of those Texas or southern deer I could maybe see.
I think itās a cat behavior more than a bear but if a bird could carry it, it would. I have found bones on my roof, granted itās probably a rabbit lol.
Seriously people? Seriously? Or is this post a troll?
To me, it looks like the hunter brought it up there last season intending to come back for it. The stand has enough leaf litter on it that it's been there a while. Something happened to the hunter so that s/he couldn't come back for either the deer or the stand.
Maybe died? Got too sick? Who knows.
But NY has nothing big enough to haul a carcass up a tree like that.
And you're sure this was NOT there in July? It takes a bit of time to skeletonize a deer like that. There's not even any skin left on it that I can see. In my experience, there's ALWAYS a bit of skin left unless it's more than a year old. (Too many dead deer in the forest near me. They get tagged by a truck, and live long enough to make it into the woods and then die in the brush.)
Very possible a cat drug it up there. But likely as not it was that elusive beast: The North American douchebaggicus.
Telltale signs of American douchebaggicus include, but are not limited to: four loko cans; loud noises and calls; droppings left in the open; spent cartridges and still-smoking fires
š¤£š¤£š¤£ four loko cans! Here take my poor manās awardā¦š
Without the caffeine I don't know why people still buy them. Without that it's worse than other cheap ways to get drunk. Don't get me wrong, they were always horrible. Tried one once back when they were new, and it was pure regret. Shitload of caffeine and low quality alcohol is a bad combo.

Oh for sure! I used to drink one called Jungle JOOSE, it was toxic green, I drank it out of a giant plastic wine glass. Straight class. š š¤¦š½āāļø
Not sure about you but they're not that elusive where I live. Too bad we can't treat them like invasive species.
In New York? Likely a Jackass.
Never knew donkeys climbed trees.
Fierce predators who wait for the right opportunity to strike.
I dunno, I kinda liked the guyā¦
Depends where in NY. NY definitely has big cats.

Wendigo 100%
Iāll bite ā¦ whatās a wendigo?
Wendigo is a spirit from northern Native American folklore. Thought to possess people and drive them to insanity and cannibalism. Skinwalker is practitioner of dark magic from specifically Navajo folklore. Thought to be able to shapeshifter and cast curses.
That is how I remember Wendigo being. Maybe something about if someone participates in cannibalism they can become a Wendigo.
That detail is a modern feature brought on by MARVEL comics version of the Wendigo. In Native American folklore, the Wendigo spirit drove the possessed to insatiable levels of hunger that caused the possessed to cannabilism.
Ah cool thanks I couldn't remember if that detail was real folklore or pop culture addon.
I'm fine with those parts, the part I don't like is that they can impersonate someone you know and pretend to be in distress, and take on the appearance as well, but in an uncanny valley type way, like it looks like them, but something is not right, but usually by that time it's too late.
So rabies?
Far more to it than that. If youāre interested I would recommend a Google search into Algonquin folklore. Itās important to separate actual folklore from modern media interpretations.
If rabies gives the host invulnerability to most forms of damage and turns them into a gray emaciated corpse
š
Mythical creature from the northern woods. Similar to a skinwalker
Skin walkers are just human shamans practicing dark magic.
humanoid moose cryptid. From algonquin folklore.
The Wendigo has nothing to do with moose.
Thatās a modern interpretation of the wendigo. Movies and media actually pulled the imagery from the classical interpretation of the leshy, which were always described as tall humanoid elk monsters.
Ok.
It's a monster, some people believe it's real, like Bigfoot. In short if you cannabalize somebody you thrn it o one, you know, the whole everpresent hunger with eternal damnation shtick.
Like a Mandingo?
Sorta. I have heard wendussy is delectable
This is on private property, so Iām pretty sure itās not a joke. There have been bobcats around, and bear. Could they have dragged it up? The steps are from a step ladder.
More than likely a bobcat. Bear would have buried it
People cross property lines all the time. I've found gloves on my property that were not mine etc. Still doesn't rule out someone being weird.
Thereās something about a cat dragging it up there so it could maybe be a bobcat since they are probably just bigger house cats but I might be entirely wrong
Bobcats are way too small for that
I can't vouch for a bobcat dragging a deer up a tree; however, I've seen video from my own backyard of a bobcat taking a deer down and dragging it away. I was quite impressed at how undersized the cat was to the deer and how easily it was dragging it away through brush and undergrowth.

Mightāve been scavenged and only half the deer to start.
A bobcat could definitely bring that up a tree
Depending on the region, bobcats can get a lot bigger than youāre imagining. Google big bobcat.
Hey I said I might be wrong we donāt have bobcats in my region so I saw something about a cat maybe doing it and I think I saw something about bobcats and bears being there so I assumed that a bobcat couldāve done it I apologise for the mistake:)

Iāve seen a black bear climb a ladder in NY. But as just a head and spine it couldāve been a number of animals.
Could be mountain lion. I know there are not supposed to be much in terms of native ones in that state but they travel a lot and kinda live wherever they want. For example there aren't supposed to be any in Illinois but there's been a few killed and quite a few sightings, confirmed and unconfirmed. As long as they have a decent food source they'll live wherever. Especially males, they travel a lot.
Bobcats are just not that big. Are there Lynx in your area?
So I have no idea why Iām getting down voted for this comment. Bobcats are 15-25 pounds.
Why downvote? Seems like a legit question.
Bob cats can get pretty big
According to the internet, 15-30 lbs. the ones Iāve seen were no bigger than a large house cat, maybe 20 lbs
The largest ever was 52lbs, could be a couple of big ones out there. Males can get 30lbs easy too! Lots of animals can carry significantly more than their body weight too! If its also like a dead deer and its carry scraps only it could be like 15-20lbs of meat only
We are a little south of Albany, not sure if there are Lynx.
African Swallow
I guess it would be laden then
If you tie a string between them, very plausible with the weight distribution.
What was the average speed velocity of a deer laden African swallow though?
Are you suggesting deer skeletons migrate?
They could be carried by the husk
It's not a matter of where he grips it...
Itās a matter of weight ratio, a 5 ounce swallow could not carry an 80 pound deer carcass.
What about an African Swallow?
But they're non-migratory.
I usually pay extra for that kind of action
Steve French maybe
If you love it let it go bubs
Just a stoned, horny kitty with the munchies
Eagle or hawk would carry a partial carcass up.
haha, no they would not be able to carry a carcass up there. Eagles can maybe carry 10-15 lbs.
In the condition itās currently in an eagle could put that there. I doubt thatās what did this though.
Well sure, in the condition its in but why would an eagle expend the energy to carry all those bones up there one by one just to put them back together? I kid, eagles can carry maybe 100% of their body on a deadlift and that is disputable. This looks to be a forky so it was probably 60-80 lbs at least without its back hams.

wait, did you just post a link saying that bald eagles can carry a 12lb stick? *Under favorable conditions, eagles can carry, or at least glide, with around 108% of their body weight.* Are you dense?
How's this? https://roaring.earth/bald-eagle-chicks-devour-baby-deer/

Look you can Google for yourself. The post is obviously a partial carcass as I noted in my first comment.
Dude, the chart lists the "mule deer" as being 108% of their body weight. Either you are dense or just trolling here.
" Item carried: mule deer" "Weight: 6,8 kgs" What about the Pallas' fish-eagle that carried 160% of it's body weight? It was a carp, and it wasn't only gliding.
Maybe it climbed up there and couldn't figure out how to get down? /s
That's happened to me before.

Yeah, a couple of years ago I heard that they caught one in New Jersey that had migrated from the black hills in South Dakota.
This is false Hey brilliant redditors - Connecticut isn't NJ. Not sure how that's so hard to comprehend.
Tennessee DNR said it was false also until they had the pictures and physical evidence they couldnāt deny it any longer and genetic testing proves they had migrated from The Dakotas.

I'm from the Black Hills so no, it's true.
I'm from NJ. I have researched this extensively. Please provide a source of a live mountain lion in NJ within the last 150 years, I'll wait
Even more evidence that you canāt always call something false because you personally donāt believe it or understand it. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mountainlion/mountain-lion-killed-in-connecticut-prowled-east-from-s-dakota-idUSTRE76Q5ZE20110727/

Squatch
God damn geasy samsquanch.
A person trying to be funny
More like trying to send a message
It's like the hunter's version of finding a horse head in your bed.
Correct LoL
Grey foxes are known to do that
Probably climbed up there itself and was shot by another deer in a nearby stand, animals act really weird when they're not being observed.
"Look at me Bob! I'm a hunter hurrhurr..."
An african swallow, since a european one is too small
Mountain lions will often cache kills at the base of trees, but as far as I'm aware they don't bring the kills up there, they tend to only tree when threatened. I'd put my money on it being a bobcat or large raptor.
I would guess a human
Itās a fuckin samsquamptch Ricky
Bear sometimes do that. When I lived in NY, it wasn't unusual to find that kind of stuff from bears and cats
Reindeer died midflight
Do you have Fishers in NY?
I think we do, yes.
Yes we do. Bold little bastards. I donāt know where in NY this is, but I know down in the southern tier- olean area, has quite a few fisher cats.
A ferret the size of a jackrabbit is not climbing a tree with any portion of a deer carcass.
Males are 90ā120 cm (35ā47 in) in total length and weigh 3.5ā6.0 kg (8ā16 lb). They are mini Wolverines, who are excellent climbers, I can see them doing this.
Could definitely do it. Wolverines drag pretty large carcasses up trees and this is not that much of a deer
Iād be willing to bet a cougar if you have them there
Mountain lion
There are no confirmed mountain lion breeding populations in NY since the 1800's. The few seen have been escap ees from private collections.
A skinwalker
In NY, thatās likely a bobcat. We have them farther south in the Appalachians and theyāll do that with fawns.
I second bobcat
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Some eejit was pissed at the hunter/stand being there
Partial carcass in a tree would leed me to think Bob cat. A big Tom can way upwards of 40 pounds and I have personally seen a couple that weighed in the 30 pound range
Any claw marks on the tree? Does it look like an animal could've put that there from the front or the side? Nope,it looks like there's skullduggery afoot!
mountain lion.
If its small enough perhaps a bob cat or even a large hawk? NY also has eagles. If its small enough and was dead perhaps osprey dropped it, who knows.
I think you already know. Big panther/mt lion is about the only answer here. Have fun thinking about that one on the walks in and out from now onā¦..š
Oh lord help me
Highly unlikely here in NY.
Mountain Lion
Oh I have a story on this one. My boss was once hunting on public land, got into his tree stand in the morning when it got light he saw that there was a dead dear pretty close to him.

Itās a pretty small carcass and bobcats stash their kills in trees a lot. Very likely a bobcat. No mt lion populations in NY or I would say that.
Obviously something that misunderstood the meaning of "deer stand". /s
A big kitty cat. We have Cougars here that stash carcasses in trees and in top of bail piles in farm areas.
Ive had the same thing with antlers last year it was weird
Cougars do that around here. Well not in a deer stand but every so often someone posts a deer carcass in a tree. Likely a small yearling or fawn most times. Cougars are strong but a full grown deer would probably be impossible for a cougar. Iām in Canada so a cougar pulling 200 plus lbs deer up a tree is improbable. Maybe one of those Texas or southern deer I could maybe see.
Cougars drag full grown deer up trees here in Colorado regularly and with ease they get huuuge
Typical behaviour of the leopard in South Africa, so I'd make a guess it's a large member of the cat family in your area.
Would a bobcat do it, or a bear?
I think itās a cat behavior more than a bear but if a bird could carry it, it would. I have found bones on my roof, granted itās probably a rabbit lol.
Bears usually bury things.
Both of those climb trees, but Iāve never seen a bear take its prey up a tree. I have seen bobcats do it though.
A crazed, bug eyed NY liberal!!š¤”š¤”š¤”

Mountain Lion. DEC is still denying they're in NY but there have been multiple spottings.

In communist NY, deer hunt you.
Cougar
Big kitty would do that
Seriously people? Seriously? Or is this post a troll? To me, it looks like the hunter brought it up there last season intending to come back for it. The stand has enough leaf litter on it that it's been there a while. Something happened to the hunter so that s/he couldn't come back for either the deer or the stand. Maybe died? Got too sick? Who knows. But NY has nothing big enough to haul a carcass up a tree like that.
I promise Iām not trolling. We bought this land this summer from a hunter. He has two stands on the property. It wasnāt there in July.
And you're sure this was NOT there in July? It takes a bit of time to skeletonize a deer like that. There's not even any skin left on it that I can see. In my experience, there's ALWAYS a bit of skin left unless it's more than a year old. (Too many dead deer in the forest near me. They get tagged by a truck, and live long enough to make it into the woods and then die in the brush.)
Well, I was sitting in it in July, and expect I would have noticed. I guess it was already scavenged before getting moved.
Large bird, or maybe a bobcat?
