KGAINES Report post Posted March 20, 2008 billrquimby said: "non native species of any kind are a real concern that need to be dealt with swiftly when their presence is noticed." How about: Largemouth bass? Smallmouth bass? Striped bass? White bass? Crappies? Rainbow trout? Brown trout? Brook trout? Northern pike? Ringneck pheasant? Chukar? Rocky Mountain bighorn? Rocky Mountain elk? Bill Quimby Bill you forgot about carp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need the ranchers and they need us..... it is us against Them, the Greenies.... So I guess you are thinking that all the steaks and hamburgers come off of public lands. Less than 2% of the beef supply comes from public land. I've heard it all before: "If'n it wasn't fer public land ranchers, the whole state would be condos!" "If'n it wasn't fer public land ranchers, we'd be Mexico now!" "If'n it wasn't fer public land ranchers, there'd be no water holes and no critters to hunt!" "If'n it wasn't fer public land ranchers, there'd be no meat to eat!" "If'n it wasn't fer public land ranchers, we'd all be dead!" Well, if it weren't for public land ranchers, 90% of the state's riparian area wouldn't be gone, and we wouldn't need all the water holes. If it weren't for public land ranchers, AZ could support thousands more elk (cows compete with elk for food) and lots more elk tags. I love cows, as long as they are on my plate and not in the forest. Hey, I don't blame the public land ranchers for taking advantage of a good deal. If I could get away with paying $1.30 per month to feed my cows, I'd do it too! Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
