Great ! Sooner they’re all dead the sooner the greenies can’t use them to lock everyone out of the land.

Loosen those restrictions so they can get the cattle back in there ASAP. Smh

For real?!? Nothing good comes from bird numbers going down

Seriously wishing them into decline or extinction ? No thanks . We'll try and keep the birds around up here. I haven't had any issues hunting in any sage grouse habitat. More energy development will affect more than just the sage grouse, you'll be locked out of public land over that more so than sage grouse management.

Gotta make room for solar arrays and wind turbines.

Typical answer from him. Asks him about his recommendation to gut shoot mountain lions so they run off and die that he made on another thread. This is only one of many examples.
I have to ask why this guy is still posting on here? With search engines taking us directly to forum posts like here on Rokslide, when does statements from a someone like this become a liability? Why is it tolerated?

MAGA right?

Yup, that's the narrative they want rolling in your head... I see it's working.

What good is access to the land when there's nothing left on it.

Heard that ravens were having a severe impact on sage grouse. Any controls on those?

No wildlife or public lands, but at least we have our ARs?

I think that's the idea.

Until those get MAGA'ed away into the ether too...

Looks like there have been some attempts at poisoning them, but it's doing little good, apparently...the ravens are opportunists, and another pair will show up at any vacated nest. The scavengers are following the development (dumps, oil and gas infrastructure) into the sagelands...

That was sarcasm.

 

[Newtosavage]

That was sarcasm.

understood. So long as we get to keep our AR's they can have everything else we hold dear. Got it.

We can re liberate our public lands if we still have those AR’s. I think that’s in plan B 2.1.

LOL sure. Now where did I put that tinfoil hat...
