What's scary are all the folks who believe what Keefover-Ring says is gospel because the only thing they know about livestock comes from some movie or TV show. Some of our summer pastures are twenty miles from the home place and there is no way in Hell any of us around here could pen the cows or the sheep every night, as most of you well know. :???:
Here in our little corner of the world, this isn't the first run-in we've had with Sinapu.
Several years ago our neighbors were losing a lot of calves so one of them called the local GF&P trapper. The trapper set a bunch of coyote-getters and came to check them the next morning. He found a dead coyote at the first one and went on to check the others. At the second one he found a huge black wolf, also very dead!! :shock:
The trapper immediately pulled the rest of the coyote getters and notified his bosses. The game warden came out with the trapper to help document the wolf and got his picture taken with the carcass. I was running the local newspaper at the time and printed the picture and the story in the paper.
As soon as the paper came out, Sinapu started foaming at the mouth and called a press conference demanding that both the trapper and the game warden be fired! It was a three-ring circus here for awhile. They would have really liked to seen the trapper executed for accidently killing the wolf that had been slaughtering several of our neighbors livestock. Real nice folks, don't you think?
Oldtimer, could I get your permission to use that word you just coined, "Californicater"? How apt!! :twisted:
