I’m now imagining being in the woods at night with a headlamp on. An elk, head down, charging me we 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.
Extra easy for predators

Besides the screaming.

Deer god! That’s a scary thought
shalafi@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.

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.

For clarification, I did not mean the diddy kinda predator
nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 6 months ago
Bold of you to assume, that diddy wouldn’t predate them as well.
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 6 months ago
He might prey on them, but I’m quite sure he doesn’t predate deer.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 months ago
well now I think you did
Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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 6 months 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!

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.
Dasus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
There are really 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.

You clearly have never met the Lightedwolf who had an attack strength of 12000 and can be doubled when his lanterns are ignighted.

I have not had the pleasure… yet.

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

As long as the predators wear a headlamp
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Predator has special thermal imaging. He doesn’t even need a headlight.
