How do we say " Expecto Patronum" in Finish ?

so someone's job is to go around looking for reindeers and spraying their antlers?

"They took our jobs" - Rudolph, probably...
SeaCaakes
Instead of trying to modify deer, you should teach drivers not to hit animals.
Woffenhorst
Seeing them helps in not hitting them.

You see that picture? It's taken in Lapland in december, 2pm.
pehmis
Everybody is drunk 24/7 in Lapland so bright lights are the best way to make them stand out.
DocVolt
Drink a bit of Valhalla liquor and then stare at these
Wombatish
I mean, it's not gonna add a whole lot of warning time if it's truly reflective (not glow). I guess you die of the heart attack from *c*
Wombatish
*c* sudden ghost deer rather than the crash, though, so there's that...
GuW69
We usually have our headlights on, and some extra lights too, so a good half mile or so...
Wombatish
If the headlights are illuminating the reflectiveness, they're illuminating the deer they're attached to too. Perhaps minutely, but *c*
Wombatish
*c* still. Also doesn't provide much if any help for areas with brush or cover (that deers tend to prefer).

Me too! Maybe with some spare time I will start writing and drawing.

Expecto when you least expecto.
rfaslt2
Maybe a dumb question but that won't effect them in the wild right? Like from predators or mating and such
Norway1974
-Only if the predator got mounted a flashlight on its forehead, but then it will probably just scare itself to death.
Ratlike
This is done to domestic reindeer, not wild animals. Scandinavian reindeer are kind of like cows, all domesticated and owned by someone.
ylimexyz
What do they own reindeer for? For meat production?
sumowoman
The pelts and the antlers can also be sold, but the meat is the main product. Some make souveniers from the bones too.
bobslydell
Yes, excellent meat

Raindeer roadkill in Finland is like squirrel roadkill everywhere else.

They have very small raindeer.

How about not letting them drive? Fucking geniuses.

They should just move the deer crossing signs somewhere else without traffic.

We don't, but they can get very aggressive when drunk! And the bastards always find the keys!

Or they could even move the deer crossing signs to areas with less traffic.

If anyone's curious, the camera's framerate is matching the aircraft prop's rotations per second.

Also, we have maybe 2 or 3 bears and roughly around 9 wolves in Finland. Lets hope those few don't carry flashlights.

Only the ones with built in headlights.

These look like domesticated reindeer
FormulatedVagabond
I did not know domesticated raindeer were a thing.
MissAizea
Yes, they're awesome and small
Feralkyn
Reindeer are ONLY domesticated. They run in free herds but they're a domestic species. The wild ones are Caribou.
FormulatedVagabond
Huh. Interesting
SherMattLockSmith
Predators will only see it if they are the light source. Retroreflective paint only sends the light back within a few degrees of the source.
SherMattLockSmith
It is little glass beads, like they use on road stripes in the US. Put the paint on, then sprinkle the beads. You can use clear paint.
TheMemeForge
You still see a saftervest under moonlight
SherMattLockSmith
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflector It is little glass beads embedded in the paint, creating spherical retroreflectors.
SherMattLockSmith
That is just a reflective vest, not a retroreflective vest. There is a difference. Retroreflectors only send the light back within 1/2
SherMattLockSmith
2/2 A degree or two of the light source.
The1stBellicose
Actually predators would be jarred by the light due to their night vision sensitivity and fear of lights/fire.
MegaDeuce
This is a retroreflective coating that returns light to the source. The predators wouldn't be able to see them. Not without flashlights.
MegaDeuce
(Moonlight or other natural sources would get bounced back towards the sky)
cavemans
Interesting. Thanks for the information.

Don't they shed their antlers?

Isoneku
A buck grows antlers due to testosterone during rut. During the summer after rut, the antlers fall off because of lower testosterone.
OlliKuusisto
They do. However, they're all gathered up by their owners before the winter because it's harder to find food in the winter. (1)
OlliKuusisto
So I think they get repainted while they are in their winter habitats. Also, not all reindeer are painted like that yet.
zanoii
Do their owners eat antlers during the winter?
villlllle
Yes it increases sexual proficiency.
OlliKuusisto
But they turn the antlers into powder first
villlllle
Don't tell him.
