LMAO does it surprise you coming from there.
I just got home from Denver for 2 days seeing my daughter, all I can say is WOW!!

Just because some idiot says it and some other idiot prints it, doesn't mean its true.

Colorado is gone.

So much of that "article" is directed at the uninformed, that the lack of facts only escapes those with 3rd grade reading abilities and lower.

Stupid Liberals, the rodents can strip fields and pastures of all their vegetation.

I just replied to probly the so called author of that post/article on FB... I wasn't nice.

Good to eat, my butt! Next thing you know they will list them as a game animal with a 2 bag limit. Kinda like what they did with the rockchuck. Polis probably likes the taste im sure....

 

[nmkid]

You must leave the carcasses out there...there are hundreds of crows, eagles, and coyotes starving!

 

[Tommie]

Yeah right. Encouraging people to handle filthy diseased rodents covered with fleas and lice.

I am way out of my league on this subject but on public lands my opinion is that hunting, fishing, ranching, forestry, mining, and any other exploitive activity should be regulated for the good of the resource in the long term, and in the interest of the citizens of our nation. On the other hand, what you do on private land is your business unless it has an impact on your neighbors. If you have critters on your private property that can be legally taken then by all means go for it. On public lands, maybe not so much, depending on the circumstances.

This is about whacking prairie dogs and not conserving a big game species, have never gone back to a dog town and had carcasses still remaining after a day or two. With the other varmints and birds ready to feast on what is left there is not any war zone left as described above.

Sort of reads like another keyboard commando whose blood pressure is higher than their IQ!

Yeah, kinda.

This is just more woke crap trying to be forced on us by the libtards. Any way to screw up our pastime is their ultimate goal. We shoot mostly in Orygun, not Colorado, but it's the same thing.

My crew and I spend ten days to two weeks launching ground squirrels here on private property. After a epic day of having our way with the rats, carcasses are all about, the raptors come in and start the cleaning up process while we're still shooting, the gunfire seems to attract them. By morning the next day, you'd be hard pressed to find one rat body in the alfalfa, none, zip, nada. Besides, who wants to handle a blown up sage rat infested with who knows what?

After decades of this, I've yet to see one dead raptor from 'lead poisoning' out there. Maybe they fly off and die from it? Dunno, but if they do, the 'raptor burial site' is a closely guarded secret.

It really doesn't matter who said it, if it's logical, or for whatever other reason. What matters is how many voting idiots believe it. That is where the problem starts.

I doubt Polis has ever tasted pd’s, but I can tell you what he does like the taste of!

That is some funny chit right there

Don't go getting the idea a gopher isn't omnivorus either, just an offshoot of a rat. I've watched too many get dragged back into the hole by another one.

Maybe those Colorado bozos would like for us Californians to come and shoot them with our lead-free bullets that our bozos forced on us. It isn't about the bullets - it is about killing animals. From the same people who think nothing of buying mouse traps and calling for help when the coyotes eats little "cup cake".
