    Snow birds…

    Weimdogman, I have a 5 1/2 yr old Weimeraner, and his feet do not allow him to hunt more than 1 solid day without booties, and then those tear the hair off his feet. Is this an issue with yours as well? Trying to determine if it is a breed thing, or something I am doing or not doing. He...

    Brood counts

    S.d. "predator control" program

    S.d. "predator control" program

    I am curious as to why you feel this is a BAD program. I might be naive, and my math might be wrong, so please correct me if i am. $500,000 cap to the program and $10 per predator trapped. That would mean 500,000/10 = 50,000 predators removed. IF each predator would have destroyed even only...
