Hah! Hawn might be forking out for some unforeseen expenses pretty soon for the people he hired selectivly for specific skills in Colorado!
“The posting of comments is really messed up today for some reason, I keep having to hit refresh to make posts reappear.”
That’s a relief, I was thinking maybe it was the moonshine (hickup, grin).

LOL! That's okay, when you're feeling poorly the moonshine definitely has medicinal value and when FR is not functioning properly we all feel poorly. ;-)
Critics said the shootings were wasteful.
the shooters shouldn’t be described as hunters because they left the animals to rot.
‘ Has anyone seen my little dog muffin ?’
LOL.
Those beautiful “forces of nature,” coyotes, are causing real problems in the outlying areas of Nashville TN right now, I’ve been chuckling reading about it in statewide newspapers. Lots of expensive little “designer” dogs are becoming the buffet of choice.
Problem is, coyotes are not native here, but when they thrive on the plentiful deer herds (and designer dogs), they sure do expand their territories.
In addition, we now have alligators in west TN, and they are certainly not natives (Reelfoot, Memphis).
And those wild European/feral hogs in the Smokies.
Not the moonshine (hickup, grin).
This Hawn really gets around, sounds like a hotshot. If he hired those guys like was said in the article it’s going to bring him down a notch or two.
This carpetbagger doesn't look like he belongs up there in those parts. Reminds me of the wealthy swells that used to buy up ranches to set themselves up a Barons =
Fish outta water - he'd best go back to the city before he gets eaten alive.
The Muffins and Fifis of Colorado are just doing their part for the environment by sustaining the local willife population then fertilizing the beautiful prairie. :)
I think fish outta water pretty well sums him up in CO country.
Here is the intro from the county primer where I live:
Expectations are a key to successful living in the Gilpin part of paradise. If a
newcomer’s expectations are urban, disappointment and grief will follow. The rural mountain
setting is neither better nor worse than rural flatland, suburban or urban settings. But the high
country is different and requires one to want to live here. The elevation ranges from 1 1/3 up to
2 1/2 miles and the 13 days of summer are followed by a long, long winter...forget the three
days of spring or fall. It takes effort, tenacity, a sense of humor and some preparation to enjoy
living in rural Gilpin County. Folks who like it up here often consider city conveniences and
amenities to be nuisances or worse. Some new residents only see a wonderful, idyllic, rural,
summer mountain setting. So, they may be shocked a bit later when a bear destroys the BBQ
grill on the deck, deer munch the marigolds, a coyote lunches on the cat, and the driveway
disappears under 52 inches of snow...then, they become disenchanted and expect someone else
to “do something” about it. Thus, the Primer is intended to touch on some key notions to help
prospective or new residents match Gilpin County Reality with Expectations.
Jeff Hawn likely thinks that he is a hot shot from Austin who can ignore the locals. He may have a harder time ignoring the sheriff, CBI, BLM, USFS, FBI...
This has been on the slow boil since mid-March. The locals are not happy.
The state and the feds are involved, so a criminal investigation is started.
This civil litigation will loosen up some tongues from these shooters.
“In Maine, we need to give new coming flatlanders an advice sheet that includes, “...if you buy and build next door to a dairy farm, do not call us if it stinks.””
In the area where I just bought 5 acres, they do give out warnings like that! Didn’t stop my urbanite neighbor.
I’d been wishing for the country since I was old enough to remember, dust, smell, and livestock included! My neighbor is already trying to stop me from planting my orchard, raising my critters, and especially hunting on my own land!
Urban refugees, moving to the country to escape all the things they brought with them.
Maybe those shooters and the landowner both should be sentenced to repay the cost of the animals by working for the farmer . . at the equivelent of $1 a day.
Or maybe the rich guy’s land could be given to the rancher as his part of the payment. Still need something deviously appropriate for the poachers though.

Don't give in!
Come the day, if things hit the fan and the trucks don't roll (there's only enough food in the super markets for 2 days - and with what's happening to the truckers with diesel averaging $4.50 (at 300 gallons a pop) they are starting to go belly up.) Your flatlander neighbors will be the first to come to you for food...
BTW, rabbits make great suppers... ;o)
“BTW, rabbits make great suppers”
Can’t wait to see the look on that neighbor’s face when he finds out I’m also a licensed fur trapper :p
