Non-Typical Solutions

Ben, is the Cowan quoted in this article of the same Cowan clan that was ranching in the bootheel?

This quote out of this article is the one that rings true in many of the topics recently discussed.... This is the threat that has been hanging over their head,” Cowan said. “Any time that a federal agency can take your livelihood away from you, you better start looking over your shoulder.”

I think Amanda has a pretty wild and not so fun story about them camping and one of her dogs!!!

Some shed hunter will find it............booom.....20K!!!

Not e-scouting

Can you forward that information to jwmortensen1960@gmail.com

If you go to the link there is a short video clip......a couple of things from the write up that made me laugh....be sure to maintain eye contact.........:) They're easy to spot around the state, where they often pop into campgrounds and appear on home security cameras. Sometimes they attack small dogs or follow hikers down their trail. people who encounter a mountain lion to act big by standing tall, waving your arms and screaming while maintaining eye contact.

No mountain lion has ever reached retirement age. They usually live to be around 10 years old. In captivity, a rare few reach 20 years. One famous cat, affectionately named Scratch, died just short of his 30th birthday. So when a mountain lion started making its way around SaddleBrooke, a 55-and-older "active adult community" in the foothills of Tucson's Santa Catalina Mountains, people knew it didn't belong. "If you see this in your backyard, call us ASAP ... " the Arizona Game and Fish Department tweeted Monday morning, attaching a photo of a fully grown mountain lion. In the photo, the cat stands atop a concrete wall, looking off to the side, like a neighbor spying on the house next door. The cat is a mature adult, and it's been active. People have spotted it three times in the past eight days, though no run-ins had been reported. "The lion menaced no one," Game and Fish spokesman Mark Hart said in an email. "This was a sighting, not an incident." There are about 2,000 mountain lions in Arizona. They're easy to spot around the state, where they often pop into campgrounds and appear on home security cameras. Sometimes they attack small dogs or follow hikers down their trail. Conflicts are rare, but a provoked cougar is strong enough to take down a human. Mountain lions have killed at least two people in 2018, one in Oregon and one in Washington State. Mostly it's humans doing the killing. It's legal to hunt mountain lions in Arizona, where officials use the practice to keep the cats' population under control. This year, the Humane Society of the United States collected signatures for a ballot measure that would have banned mountain lion hunting in Arizona. But the movement collapsed in April. To avoid an attack, Game and Fish gave advise people who encounter a mountain lion to act big by standing tall, waving your arms and screaming while maintaining eye contact. Anybody who spots a mountain lion may call Game and Fish at 623-236-7201.

Sounding more and more like Roswell......love to bump into a 20K Christmas!!!!

I remeber chasing this buck for 3 years and then having a friend tell me he found the skull, lion kill........I was pretty bummed out about it..........never really got over it because I had so much time invested......life goes on!!!

And a beautiful Ram!!!

So to compare the above photo to this photo.....two completely different responses at first glance..........................but I don't want people telling me what I can and can't post but I can be smart about it. In the end even this clean photo of a nice ram is going to cause the PETA's and lovers to hate and shame....

So on behalf of the PC touchy feel good community does this pass the test or is it just too horrific?

The news lady on TV was talking about the overflow of dogs at compounds and rescue centers! She said we needed to have more compassion for these “beings“??? I am really confused 🙃

Next thing you know....fishing........and then the list goes on and on.......great article talking about exactly what we are dealing with....thanks for posting, I'm gonna be writing some letters to that reporter and Doug Ducey.......Yavapai county........huge coyote population area, they have no idea!!!!

Damage....that sucks.......good luck!!!

Sounds like a sweet setup, I probably couldn't see 800 yards or hold that steady great groups!!!

Mom would make one trip a month to Silver City for grocery shopping and if I had shelled enough pecans she would buy me two packs of these.........and I was set for another month....or maybe a week :)!

This right here is all I ever wanted for Christmas.....every Christmas......

I was gonna say caribou......cool bull!!!

Just plugged in the popper........sitting down to relax!!!

I get that part.........but the taxpayers aren't exactly the landlord......if the city council wants to come up with the pesos then let them chip in 130 mil for a place where people who make millions come and play.....literally play....... We'll tax people to build a sports arena but we won't spend money on infrastructure, veterans, border security and taking care of our people on the streets......just upside down...... But you are right and I am ranting ..... sorry............

this???

Now Sarver says he will take the Suns elsewhere if they don't get the millions to fix the arena........bye bye...................................

So set up outside city limits? I weighed in at Anvil Rock Road over west of Seligman ......... it can be done!!!! I get what you're saying though!!!
