Non-Typical Solutions

I actually enjoyed the re read lots of members missing from back then, some by choice some because they are just gone!

Good recommendations and info forepaw! Interestingly enough the farming community in my day provided lots of on site training and while maybe not certifiable without some real instruction it was a lot of fun as a kid and something that has provided me with work opportunities through the years. Having said that, here in the White Mountains we have the NAVIT program for the programs listed below. We have a lot of students that finish high school with a certification that then springboards them on to other avenues. I am not exactly sure what certification the can get but it is a very good path for our high school kids. I know this is late for catfish and his kid but for others it is a great option to get the wheels rolling!!!

Here.....I know how to get threads sent to the dungeon.......

The wording on this caught me off guard!😳

Fits the norm these days......

Here is a recent letter to the editor for our White Mountain Independent paper! The WMI has been very pro wild horse and very little lets take care of the real problem! Noteworthy in this letter is where the author resides! Many of the pro wild horse letters just like the pro wolf letters are from California or New Hampshire😳

I was gonna say the California effect is definitely into play here and it is gonna continue to grow!!!

I came across this and thought it did a decent job of wading through wild horse problems! Wild Horses The bullies of the range By John Koleszar May 24, 2019 In Arizona, a small parcel of land in the Heber area was designated a wild horse territory in 1974 as prescribed in the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. At the time of designation, there were seven horses present and the area was designated as being roughly 19,000 acres. During the 1980s and early 1990s, the horses in this area died out. By 1995, the Forest Service could not find a single horse living in the wild horse territory. In 2002, the Rodeo-Chedeski fire destroyed over 500,000 acres of forests in areas surrounding Heber. With fences down, tribal horses streamed onto forest lands. By 2005, there were over 250 horses when the Forest Service announced intentions of rounding up these trespass horses. Lawsuits by horse advocates followed. The federal court issued its ruling in 2007 and directed the Forest Service to develop a management plan for the horses. Conservationists across Arizona have seen the dramatic changes in the forest areas of Heber and the horse numbers are estimated at between 500 and 1,000 head. If there is a culprit in this, it sits in the total lack of accountability with all of the forest supervisors and staff that have allowed the situation to fester over the past decade. A reasonable number of horses and a plan needed to be developed. The Apache Sitgreaves National Forests has created a climate of hostility and resentment, as well as an entitlement attitude by the horse advocates. The 19,000 acres that were designated as the horse territory has been expanded. The total land that feral horses now inhabit is over 400,000 acres. The “wild” horses are no longer wild, they graze with impunity at campsites. They are often referred to as the “bullies” of the range as they hoard water holes and drinkers to the exclusion of other wildlife. It is simply unacceptable that feral horses are managed differently than resident wildlife, lawful grazing, and at levels that clearly cannot be considered to exist within a “thriving ecological balance” as prescribed by law. This summer, public comments should occur (if the Forest Service can find the time) and that a plan will be put together. The wild horse advocates will scream in protest and file lawsuits so that the plan is on hold indefinitely. Sadly, these advocates do not care at all about any other wildlife. Last, but not least, illegal activity by frustrated people who do not share the passion that horse advocates do is reprehensible. Frustration at the inept forest management is the cause. The Apache Sitgreaves National Forest employees allowed this mess to fester for over 10 years with no action. The forest in another four years will be decidedly worse off and the number of horses will double by that time. Shame on the horse advocates for not being reasonable. They want the whole forest and the way things are going they will soon have it. I pity all of the other wildlife that is being forced out by the bullies of the range.

Got this shirt for Christmas from grandkids I think!

And I thought As the World Turns was on NBC

Some interesting terminology in this article! The Mexican jumping mouse! 😳 Historic Arizona wild horses and Carlos Vasquez Coronado

That is correct...............helps me know that if I'm coming from Snowflake and I think I can help, I have exactly what I need to take care of the job. Does it attach to the door? What kind of glide system does it run on? Exactly how much of the particleboard is actually busted out? I mean, he doesn't have to include powerlines or anything like that but it really does help determine qualifications necessary! If I lived next door I would want to take a look before I said......yes I can help you!

So with this new trail cam ruling I encountered an interesting conundrum> I have trail cams on my 5 acre property(barely inside city limits) where my shop is located along with the chickens etc. Trail cams are/were strictly to monitor human as well as coyote/dog traffic that might show up on my property! Through the years I have had pictures of dogs, elk, coyotes, deer and human visitors. I really just check cameras, let neighbors know if their dogs are harassing my chickens and go on with life out at the shop. And, just like this guy knows exactly what laws went into effect......................

Since houses/realestate have been thrown into the mix, Do I take money out of my IRA to pay off the 36K I owe on my house or do I just finish out my 7 years left making payments? I know there are lots of questions to ask/answer in the scenario but I really want to be just done with my house payments and have that secured!

The real frustration is the momentary transition between binos up and seeing glasses back on and then seeing glasses back off and binos back up!!! Course not drawing a tag really hinders my glassing ability!!!

This.................congrats on the draw, if you don't wanna make the trip I'll take care of the tag!!!
