minx, that's pretty rare, you should contact the Dept of Wildlife (425) 775-1311 and report both incidents. On a related note, SUV saves man's life: Deer attacks man in Madison Valley By NICK GEVOCK, Chronicle Staff Writer The hunt is on for a feisty mule deer buck that charged and pummeled an elderly man near Cameron on Monday morning before it was distracted by the sight of its own reflection. A Madison Valley game warden is looking for the four-point buck, which attacked Gene Novikoff at his home south of Cameron. Novikoff had several previous run-ins with the buck this summer, he said Tuesday in a telephone interview, but this time the deer snuck up on him in the driveway. "I tried to get inside the house, but he charged me before I could," he said. "I wrestled with him, which was a mistake -- I'm 80 years old, he's only about 2 or 3." The buck knocked Novikoff over and pummeled him with its front hooves for more than five minutes. Novikoff suffered a broken rib, bruises and scratches on his torso, hands and head. Novikoff feared the deer was going to kill him. He called for help, but his wife was inside the house and didn't hear him. Eventually the deer noticed its own reflection in Novikoff's shiny SUV parked nearby and was intrigued. That gave Novikoff enough time to open the garage door and get inside, he said. "Thank God I had the car cleaned a couple of weeks ago," Novikoff said. "If he hadn't gotten interested in looking at himself, I don't think I would have made it." At that point, Novikoff shot the deer six times with a .22-caliber rifle and it ran off. He said the deer was still hanging around the car and that's why he had to shoot at it. Novikoff's wife took him to the emergency room at the Madison Valley Hospital, where he was treated for lacerations and bruises. Even before the attack, officials had decided the deer needed to be dealt with, said Marc Glines, Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks game warden. The buck had grown so brazen it repeatedly chased anglers on the Madison River and once entered a man's garage. It was likely raised as a pet by someone because the buck shows no fear of humans, Glines said. Once a deer has become so habituated that it will aggressively go after people, it has to be killed, he said. "FWP was worried that a fisherman would trip while getting away, or it would run into a child and someone would get hurt or killed," he said. Novikoff's neighbor has twice doused the deer with pepper spray. But even that painful experience failed to spook the deer away for good. Glines has since loaned a hunting rifle to Novikoff to use if the deer shows up again. Meanwhile, Glines is also looking for the deer, which has proved elusive. "That creature, as nutty as it is, it can sense when he's around," Novikoff said.

Hi Lance, keep coming back, it works!

The N. Peak on Index is around 1500' of "technical" ground. I think Beckey's route description is the most accurate. Just follow the big nests of tat, my broken ego and old trusty rusty ring angles. The traverse route goes up the N. Face of the N. Peak, over the Middle peak and up to the summit of the Main peak. Descend via the East "walk up" route. I haven't done the traverse route. Collin did it in a day last year, you might shoot him an email.

It's a "dry" heat. http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalStd.asp?loc=uscact12972&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=Forecasts&product=Forecast&prodnav=none&pid=none

N. Face route on N. Peak of Index is 5.6. Throw in the Traverse and you can walk off. Better pack a big lunch though.

Yeah, I think J-tree is less than an hour away.

And you can stay in the lookout if it's not full. You should call the Skykomish ranger station and ask them what the deal is with staying up there.

The Evergreen Mountain Lookout hike is one of the best easy hikes around. I think the elevation gain is around 1000' and you get some great views from the top. Starts in a big blue berry patch and wanders up through an old burn, then through old growth. It seems like it was about an hour hike at a leisurely pace. It's off of the Index - Skykomish road. I think FS 65?

what a looser.

I CAN'T THINK!

are you contradicting me? so what do you think? keychain biner or fifi hook?

how do you discuss how you cannot think? "what?" "I didn't say anything" "why not?" "why not what?" "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!" "I'm rick james!!!"

How about rope management tips if you rap in a storm wearing your tent like a catalouge either off of a fifi hook or a keychain biner?

Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whispered in my ear, 'America is under attack,' I would have told those kids very politely and nicely that the president of the United States had something that he needed to attend to -- and I would have attended to it," Kerry told the Unity conference of minority journalists in response to a question about what he would done. OR - "I was in the Capitol. We'd just had a meeting - we'd just come into a leadership meeting in Tom Daschle's office, looking out at the Capitol. And as I came in, Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, which is it?

Keep laughing big guy, here's my "SLAB" boots.

That is an excellent question that most moderhators have already PM'd to me (along with like 40 other questions) so I will address your question here for your and their benefit. Deduct 2 points from your score for asking STUPID QUESTIONS, (please refer to question 5 in the original post)so sorry, You are welcome to try again in 90 days. (secret edit) I just realized I may not be able to keep up with all STUPID QUESTIONS asked on this thread so if you ask a question at all deduct 2 points. (end secret edit)

rock shoes are aid

Yes. It has gotten me into and out of a lot of trouble. Thanks for your kind words to point that out.

Hey, stop whining for a minute and you might get in, this is better than even explosive tip bb's. more new rules regarding climbing gear: If you think your climbing ability will improve by buying new gear (like different shoes for climbing slab or wide cracks) you may be elligable for entry. This is a fairly minor point but still valid. If you have ever offered advice to someone on climbing gear based on trying something on in the store or simply unpackaging it and fondling it. I mean, sometimes you just know it's the best thing around. Same goes for stuff you crap on, eventhough everyone else in the free world climbs in soft shells now, you are probaly right that in reality, it blows goats and should be destroyed. Like I said, sometimes you just know.

w00t? I know some fools prefer sissy squats so it's not really fair to emphasize the deadlift. Besides that, I know one dude who can bench more than I can squat and that's just embarasing so max rep lifts are not considered at this time. However, in the tuture lifts may be part of the criteria, mainly bicept curling in the squat rack. PS for all applicants, I pre-banned the IP address of a bunch of you whiners and set up the new awesome bb so if you are banned, instead of getting the log-in page you get kicked back to the homepage of cascadelosers.com pss: if you are pre-banned from my new awesome board, send a pm to Jon or Timm@y, they seem to put up with your bs too much already and might give you some sympathy. psss: any other suggestions for criteria to consider new people in the exclusive club just keep to yourself. You suck. Any posting of anything other than hero climbing pictures will result in immediate ridiculing. More rules to follow.

I'm setting up a new web based bulliten board at www.cascadeextreme8000hardpeople.com and invite a select few posters to make it their home. Losers need not apply. If you can answer the following ten questions in the affirmative, you are elligable to post there. If not, stay here doomed to weirdness the rest of your days. 1 - can you recite from memory the last 10 climbs you've done move by move or have a photo sequence of each move? 2 - do you wait for just the right moment to post your witty response to this bulliten board? 3 - do you believe you are the funniest, smartest, hardest working and eloquent poster on this loser bulliten board? 4 - do you get the feeling your posts are not always appreicated here for some reason? 5 - have you ever put a jackass gaper in their place for asking a stupid question? 6 - is your time too valuable to attend any Pube clubs? 6b - if no to question 6, do you have nothing better to do on Tuesdays than go to every Pube club? 7 - have you ever been abitrarily (for no reason) attacked on this board? 8 - are you afraid of people finding out what you do all day? 9 - do you have moderator priviledges? 9b - if no to question 9, are you aware that the moderators are talking about you on the seceret moderators forum? 10 - do you anonymously criticize other people on this gay website after the opportunity to confront them has passed?
