A few years ago the Sierra Club and the US Forest Service were presenting a alternative to Montana ranchers for controlling the coyote population.It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting/trapping the predator,the tree-huggers had a "more human" solution.
What the Sierra Club proposed was for the animals to be captured alive,the males castrated and let loose again,and the population would be controlled.All the ranchers mulled over this "amazing" idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally,an old boy in the back row stood up,tipped his hat back,and said "Son.I don't think you understand the problem.Those coyotes ain't f...... our sheep----they're eating 'em!
Talking about cowboys...when I was but a wee girl I always wanted to be a cowboy, yes cowboy not cowgirl...John Wayne was my hero, I wanted to be smart like Maverick, live on the Pondarosa and have little Joe, Hoss and Adam as my brothers. Now after all that dreaming the only thing I have to show is my arkoobra hat and now that my head has got a bit big it doesn't sit on my head properly. Saw a nice one in Glen Innes didn't like the colour though so will go on the weekend to one of the shops here and get one. John Wayne, Maverick and the Cartwrights.....eat your heart out. Hey Paul you could get it for me for my birthday, just send me the money.
