From 3 months ago:
"TUCSON - Thirty one Bighorn sheep that were relocated to the Catalina mountains Monday are thriving, according to Arizona Game and Fish officials. Their movements are being tracked using GPS collars. News 4 Tucson was given insight into their first few hours on their new turf. If you live in, or visit Pusch Ridge grab your binoculars, you're in for a sight...The cost of the project is around $600,000. It's funded by private donations and fees from hunting and fishing licenses."
From a week ago:
"Officials said a mountain lion killed the ewe they found in the Catalinas Sunday. Hunters tracked and killed the offending mountain lion. The 15th death was discovered on Tuesday, when a dead ram was found. The cause of the ram's death is under investigation. Out of the 6 relocated rams, 1 is still alive."
From today:
"TUCSON - Game and Fish has reported a mountain lion has killed another relocated bighorn sheep. This is the 16th death so far of the 31 sheep who were moved from a mountain area near Yuma to the Catalinas."
The picture would not look like this if the sheep were issued CCW permits and were carrying.
All governments and bureaucracies are the same.
Chock full of armchair experts.
Good Idea! Though... I say that the whole border could be a Global Hawk training range.... but sure enough the kid gamers flying those platforms would eventually be set loose on you and I.
Some of these folks need to look south to Texas, we’ll show them how to relocate exotic’s.
The feral hogs on our ranch are so nocturnal that we never see them unless they walk in front of a game camera. How are you killing yours?
Ours also avoid the hog traps too.
If you encounter a Mountain Lion pull out your Springfield Armory .40 cal and place two-four successive personal defense rounds in its brain. :-)
Actually it's called nature.
Our country is pretty open and I’m all over the ranch everyday, picked up a Panther Arms LR 308 for a little more firepower. That and a CZ 527 in 223 pretty well have me covered.

"You voracious man-eating son of a bitch, there was 31 Democrats in Pima County and you ate 16 of them. G_d d_mn you! I sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you are dead, Dead, DEAD, as a warning against reducing the Democratic population of Pima County. Packer, you Republican cannibal, I would sentence you to Hell but the statutes forbid it."
We don’t see the hogs in the day time. Also we have a 4 lane highway and a county airport plus a county road and neighbors too close for comfort. Also I forgot a state prison farm on our entire southern side. If we did see them we would have to be close and very careful.
I was hoping you were going to tell me about some new fool proof hog trap.
Shoot, shovel, and shut up.
Missed a panel on the sign .... pull out your 45 and shoot the damn thing ... again and again until it stops moving!
Maybe they were afraid the sheep would took. A dead sheep tells no tales.
