Pierre Man Convicted/ Good Job BOB!!!!

I'm back!! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, but I haven't been ignoring you guys. Now that I'm back, I may find a little time now and then to visit, which I knows just thrills some of you.

Happy: LB: Your full of it for sure! I see in the news on the web that the feds and your state have come to an agreement concerning this issue? The truth always prevails in these cases and I have a question LB: How many talks or run ins have you had with this man personally?

Several. We know him only too well out here and we supported the governor's actions to get rid of him. How well do you know either Prieksat or Cooper? I'm guessing you've never met either one. If you have, tell us about it?


Happy: What do you use as facts to support your claims first hand? Or let me guess as usual with you you take second and third hand information that gets knotted and twisted to be far from the truth as it factually is?

Aw, sweetie, tell me which of my facts you have questions about and I'll tell you what I know and why I know it.


Happy: LB I and others could respect your thoughts and opinions more if you did even an ounce of fact checking before posting on many items you do. You give your bias thoughts and hear say more than facts that can be directed to and substantiated on.

Unless I know a person, I always check facts as rarely does one get the plain truth when one has an agenda, especially the bias you have against your state game dept.

Believe me Happy, my opinions and my thoughts are based firmly on fact. I will admit to a bias against any governmental agency that feels free to operate without oversight by anyone. These agencies supposedly work for us and should have to answer to the citizens or at least to the folks elected to represent the interests of their voters. I gather from your comments that you have a problem with accountability?


SJ: Happy--Where do your facts come from?

Happy: Many sources on the web

SJ: Oh I see, good source.

How about furnishing some links from those "many sources on the web" so we can see how reliable your information is and where it comes from? For someone that loves to toss around wild statements slamming the folks who don't agree with you, you're remarkably quiet about your sources of "information". Come on, show us some facts – not opinions – FACTS!!
 
Quiet on the Priekstat stuff or just in general?
I know I am enjoying the moisture we are getting, I have dumped out 5 .75 inches in the last week. I live North of Pierre on a small farm. :lol:
 
Congratulations on the moisture, PH. An old rancher friend of mine at Gettysburg got over 6 inches and a flooded basement and he's not complaining about either one.

I'm thinking that it's so quiet around here because ol' Happy Go Lucky can't come up with any reliable links for the fountains of "substantiated" and "unbiased" facts he talks about to combat the "second and third hand information that gets knotted and twisted to be far from the truth as it factually is" that he accuses me of using.

He must have been just making talk, huh? :???:

All hat and no cattle maybe? :?
 
This letter to the editor was in yesterday's Rapid City Journal. Interesting perspective on the whole Prieksat/Cooper issue, don't you think?

New approach needed in GF&P/landowner saga

Kevin Woster's articles on the saga of Rounds versus Federal Warden Bob Prieksat were interesting.

Participants of the SD Lockout wonder if Governor Rounds has some understanding of the frustration landowners have with the Department of Game Fish and Parks and the Governor.

The previous GF&P Secretary and the Governor would not budge in their refusal to respect the property rights of landowners. The landowners want to have conservation officers "ask before they enter" private property. Landowners agreed that a conservation officer could enter private land without permission if reasonable suspicion or probable cause exists, to investigate a report of illegal hunting, fishing or trapping, to dispatch distressed wildlife, for emergency situations or threats to public safety. Landowners think this is a workable compromise; however the issue was nonnegotiable with Secretary Cooper and the Governor, much the same as the US Fish and Wildlife Service refused to fire warden Prieksat.

Apparently, the new Secretary of GF&P has neutralized the Governor's standoff with the USFWS by agreeing to cooperate without requiring that Prieksat be fired or reassigned. Secretary Evens may have a new approach to opening the several million acres that are currently closed to big game hunting.

Maybe so, but I still feel that the Feds called Round's bluff. If you say you are going to do this if that don't happen, you'll better well do it. Rounds made himself look weak!
