What is the standard procedure for defending yourself from wild animal attacks?
Also, how often do wild animals come by and decide to mess with soldiers and equipment?

What is the standard procedure for defending yourself from wild animal attacks?
minigun
I fucking hate hogs so much it's unreal. As a young man I was very badly ambushed by hogs innawoods, you see.
On first sighting a Sharpe reference I naturally gave the order to reply. That's my style.
Bro I watched this exact video with my dad as well as the 50. Cal one. That shit was wild
Sauce?
Found similar but no minigun:
This is also an excuse to post videos and images of different random animal encounters soldiers keep having in Ukraine because I think it's really funny.

Cute
>I think it's really funny.
I find them worth a smile as their antics can be funny, but it also makes me really sad that the animals have to suffer too because the russki chimps invaded. These little critters are hungry, stressed the fuck out and desperate, which is why they seek out these positions in search of food and shelter. It's fucking sad. That badger in OP is not even fully grown.
Question for euro-anons but how much grief do Polecats cause? They don’t seem like the funnest of animals to deal with when they get into your house.
Don't know about polecats specifically, but I know that martens can sometimes be a pain in the ass. They are know to hide in small spaces inside their territory and spread their scent, which includes inside car's engine compartments. If another marten discovers this convenient hiding place and smells his competitor's scent, the angrily start biting and chewing on whatever they encounter i.e. wiring, tubing, insulation, etc. And they've got razor-sharp teeth, so they can seriously fuck shit up.
So you might end up parking your car in a spot that happens to be part of a marten's territory, and the next day your car won't start.
On top of that, martens/polecats/weasels/etc. (mustelids) are despite their size very vicious predators. Many an outdoor cat doesn't return home, only to be found a few days later completely torn to shreds by a creature a third it's size.
But in general they stay far away from humans if they can help it.
His gun and scissors now.
>take a nap inna trench
>wake up
>surrounded by cows just staring at you
nightmare fuel
Sirs that clearly shows that the Ukrainians are blessed
Give em some food and now you have a comfy trench fren that can triple as a meat shield, then dinner
When setting up an OP we are told avoid fields with livestock, especially cows, as they will just come and look at you all day, giving your position away.
Why do cows find humans so interesting?
Cow psychology and autism actually have a lot of similarities. That's not my theory, it's been noted before.
There was this cripplingly autistic woman who was like a wunderkind in the cattle industry. You'd go to her and say "what's spooking the cows in the slaughterhouse, we've done everything we can think of to keep them calm" and she'd look around the floor for like ten seconds and go "That red handle on that door" and sure enough they'd paint it over and the cows would be calm from then on.
When asked how she knew what was bothering the cows she'd invariably respond with some variation of "It was what was bothering me".
Itredasting
Temple Grandin or something.
Correct.
They mostly just want food or to be milked.
A herd of cows will spend an afternoon looking at a soda can intently, they're definitely creatures of odd fixation.
>Especially cows, as they will just come and look at you all day.
cute
One time I was camping inna mountains in Colorado with a bro. We got super drunk and in the morning when we woke up, out camp site was completely crawling with cows with tags in their ears. It was honestly really strange.
Man, when a meat for a burger just randomly comes into your trench. Hope they had buns, veggies and some sauce.
>"WE ARE SURROUNDED!"
>Moo-biks
>Holy Cow!!!
>They don't know just how similar cows and humans are
Ever worked construction?
Never forget.. 🙁
Looks like the badger's just a young one that's gone off exploring
Seen a few videos this spring of people encountering them in the daylight and the badger being nonplussed about humans. They all seemed to be around this size and age, so I guess it's a phase they go through
reopen badgers are chill dudes. I see them all the time, they even wander into cities and cause practically no harm
that dog has autism
Badger is friend unless you are an asshole
Hell kind of weird ass badger is this?!
Pretty tame American one. Usually they’re rather aggressive.
Must be rabies.
Bros, how do we defend against rocket deployed hedgehogs?
Badger good.
Get a shovel.
wow. rude
yell stand up and brandish weapon
warning shot
real shot
if it's a bear, coyote, aggressive large cat, boar, moose, or any kind of predator just skip to step 3
I've shot 60+ raccoons on my property over the past 6 years. Twice I've had to buttstroke a coon with my rifle like John Wayne at the Alamo. For real. Once because there were two and I had to take a shot on the run by the first one I had already shot. It snapped around and snarled as I approached so I gave it a good, hard, Sands of Iwo Jima-style buttstroke to the face and immediately shot the second coon. That was the summer of 2018.
The second time was last summer. Shot a big coon in a tree, it fell hard, and then charged right at me while I was still cycling the bolt. By then it was hand-to-paw range and there wasn't time nor space to bring my rifle to bear. So with the bolt hanging out of battery I gave that coon the old Last of the Mohicans buttstroke right in the teeth. That knocked its charge off the line of attack and it ran past about 25ft then collapsed.
So as bizarre and stupid as it sounds, the standard procedure I've personally used TWICE to defend myself from animal attacks can be found in FM 23-25 (1943), Section 2, Part 13. It's effective and quicker in the clutch than switching to a pistol or something else. I'm serious. If it's stupid but works it isn't stupid. Practice those buttstrokes.
