STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Nov. 11) - A mythical monster, believed by some to have lived for hundreds of years in the murky depths of a Swedish lake, is now fair game for hunters - if they can find it. Authorities have agreed to lift its endangered species protection. Hundreds of people claim to have spotted a large serpent-like creature in Lake Storsjon in the northwestern province of Jamtland, and in 1986 the regional council put it on a list of endangered animals. But a government watchdog challenged the decision, saying such protection was hardly necessary for a creature whose existence has not been proven. The regional council agreed to remove the listing this month, but declined to rule out that a monster lives in the 300-foot deep lake. "It exists, inasmuch as it lives in the minds of people," the council's chief legal adviser Peter Lif said about the purported beast. "But I guess we'll have to agree that it cannot be proved scientifically, and then it should not be listed as an endangered species." The so-called Storsjo monster was first mentioned in print in 1635. Hundreds of sightings have been reported since then. Some people describe the creature as a snakelike animal with a dog's head and fins on its neck. But no clear image of it has been captured on camera. Storsjo monster aficionados said lifting the endangered species protection was a mistake, and appeared insulted by the decision. "We are not fanatics," said Christer Berko, of the Storsjo monster association. "We see this as very interesting phenomenon that we unfortunately have not been able to document."
yeah, I don't have anywhere to put a trophy that big.... and I doubt hundred year old lizard meat will taste good
I'd definitely be down with looking for him. Just think about how much you could sell a Storsjo burger for.
Humm Yeah good point. They might make good burgers too. Your Right. We were just saying the other day that Dragons had to come from some where back in time seeing some creature that looked like one. Maybe this is it and also the one in Loch Ness too.
diplodochous.... bombadier beatles.... dragons..... it's a little complicated, but really if you know enough about all three categories it may make perfect sense....
Pft, I could take Storsjo with my bare hands, if he exists. I'm gearing up with my fight with Meca Godzilla. I don't have time for fighting Lightweights. How strong could a Swedish monster be anyway?
is this gonna be one of those green hunts where you just knock it out and get your picture taken with it? 'cause that smack of nuisance animal harassment to me.
I wouldn't mess with Meca Godzilla! But it's your thing Man! If you need us you know where we are and we got your back.
No, I would not hunt for Nessie or Storsjo. Or any other Mythical creature. I think it's alot more fun to not know for sure. Life gets very dull when EVERYTHING can be divided into either black or white. We need grey areas to keep things interesting and diverse. Plus, i would be scared of hunting something that nobody knows anything about. If you know nothing about what you're going after, how do you know what's it's capable of? A gun is nice and all, but what if it can breathe fire or some weird shit like that? LOL
then you bring a big enough weapon to turn something that sized into several lumps of floating flesh.... it's all a matter of explosion yields.....
