COYOTE PROBLEM
The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an
alternative to Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population.
It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true
methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the tree-huggers had
a "more humane" solution.
What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, the males
would then be castrated and let loose again
.
Therefore the population would be controlled.
This was ACTUALLY proposed to the Wyoming Wool and
Sheep Grower's Association by the Sierra Club and the U SFS.
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of
minutes. Finally, an old boy in the back of the conference room stood
up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand
our problem. Those coyotes ain't screwin' our sheep - they're eatin'
'em!" . . You should have been there to hear the roar of laughter.

Morning NM. Randy Pat Steve and anybody else I may have forgotten.
Steve give me a call about the Spartan. And, yes, SEALS do get old they just ignore it until body parts start falling off, then they go into denial. (Not the river)
