Problems in Wyoming

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 USFS.

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 f*$kin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em!'

The ignorance to reality of people who are out there trying to "save the world" never ceases to amaze me.

well said, we have our share of those pin.heads here as well.

They just kicked us out of a riding area because of 'it's unique terrain, vegetation and other unique aspects.'

Yeah it's UNIQUE all right: It was a BOMBING RANGE during world war 2 ! Those are commonly called BOMB craters and there is no unique wildlife or flora to be found there...There are a few old cars out there with about a billion bulletholes each....

They're just being selfish and don't want to share.

They even tried to blame garbage out there on us. Now I've been riding 40 years and never ONCE have I carried KFC and cans of Pepsi on a dirt bike or a quad! That's not US, that's them. We routinely bring garbage home [someone else's] but the idiotsticks always try and blame us. I don't get the newspaper anymore- it just winds me up like a cheap watch....

NOW they wanna designate it a wilderness area and I bet they'll get it with so many pin.heads in DC.
