That crap did not work in the PNW. On 100% trust from my Uncle (Retired GPNF ranger), how the spotted owl got on the protected list and the myth of them only being in old growth timber goes as this. The Gifford Pinchot forest service sent another ranger out to 2nd and 3rd growth timber reprods and hooted for owls, the problem is, those reprods were hours away from the ranger station, so his time was limited (government worker mentality), he hooted for them in daylight hours, as we all know most owls are nocturnal predators, and he was deaf as a post, so if they were awake he wouldnt have been able to hear them hoot back. The spotted owl bs devistated countless communities and families. I have seen spotted owls in new timber plots and old growth, they go where their food is.
Stuffed California spotted owls placed where ever where the state doesn’t want you to build.
Also ring tailed spiders seen in the area.
A person could make a decent living supplying others with stuffed spotted owls.
Fake ones will work just as well they won’t know the difference.
Made in Chy Na likely.
Agree keeping Xi much happy
We need to preserve these habitats in their natural state to protect the spotted owls and ensure that when the next wildfire passes through only a few handfuls of ashes will be left. Oh, and some barbecued spotted owls.
nope there are legal pot farmers here. the cartels are the illegal growers that steal water and shoot people who wonder by their grows.
THE MASSIVE FIRES DESTROYED THE FORESTS.
OWLS NEED THE TREES.
Quit blaming this on o of us who live near these areas.
ENTIRE TOWNS were instantly unemployed.
Those are the Pot growers that won't go away and won't be touched.
Your "Legal" Pot growers know better than to cross Cartel Enforcers and will do as their told, keeping a cover of "Legality".
Add the "quality" of the hired help that infests the Pot industry, Bent Cops, and the only people that will get arrested or dead are Legacy Citizens.
They got their weed farms in Central valley, and Mendocino counties, the cartel are up near Shasta and out in the Mohave desert
