Tbf. Not that many predators left in northern Sweden/Norway/Finland. And believe me that the Sami reindeer owners work their hardest to illegally hunt the remaining down.

As long as the predators wear a headlamp

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Predator has special thermal imaging. He doesn't even need a headlight.

Predator noticing the deer: “You’re Finnish”

Get to the Choppa!

I'm now imagining being in the woods at night with a headlamp on. An elk, head down, charging me with its rack pointed at my chest and glowing like its fresh from the flames of hell.

I'm not ruling that out as a way I might like to die one day.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 19 hours ago

Deer god! That's a scary thought

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I almost successfully read that to the tune of Shia Lebeouf

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Origin of religion right there.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And what a glorious death that would be

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Besides the screaming.

...and the shit in your pants.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They're not painting elk. They're painting reindeer. They're always just chilling on the roads in Lapland.

They're semi domesticated, so a bit different to handle than wild elk, especially the ones like in America, which are bigger than ours. We do have moose though, but no-one tried to paint them, lol.

Scary enough to stumble on one in the deep woods at 3AM. One of the only times I nearly drew my gun was seeing a triangular face staring at me from 15'. Had seen a Florida Panther the year before and my dumb ass thought that's what it was.

Right picture: Boss music intensifies

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even if it was brightly glowing, predators would not approach. They're actually very skittish around new stuff. And once they figure out it's the giant deer with head knives, they'd refrain from going near them because of that. Just like they already do.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

It only glows when you shine a light on it. Predators would never see it.

They're actually very skittish

LOL, people around here seem to think the animals are going to up and attack them. Damn, I can almost never get close enough for a good look!

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

For clarification, I did not mean the diddy kinda predator

[–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume, that diddy wouldn't predate them as well.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He might prey on them, but I'm quite sure he doesn't predate deer.

well now I think you did

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

There's definitely some high-grade crafting mats on the one on the right.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There aren't really many predators in Lapland.

Most of the areas the reindeer live in have practically zero wolves or bears.

Not exactly, there are wolves, but, like, not really.

Also, unless they're emitting light, the reflective paint won't really help the potential predators.
