Yesterday - Bundy Ranch

[♪alt13]

Shepherds are destroying the soil and the great basin wild rye where my land is. The land is becoming less and less suitable for even ranching. They leave these huge swaths that sagebrush even has a hard time growing in. To the point of cryptobiotic soil crusts I have to say I have witnessed their destruction and it is important. The wind blows and where they have grazed heavily the soil goes with it. How quickly do you think soil is deposited in a place with no deciduous trees?

I think it is shameful that future generations will not get the use that this one had. I've also heard that they used to graze cattle out there but the land can no longer support them. Planning on a fence and trying to rehab it my little bit. Maybe one day I can leave my children a little piece of earth that is usable, healthy, and better than I found it.

While I'm at it.

I have thought about trying to raise a small herd of native pronghorn.(eventually) Does anyone know if this would be legal? Also would there be a market for them as a specialty meat/trophy? It wouldn't have to be profitable I have just read that they do eat sage brush as well as grasses and if they can have a positive impact on the land then great.

The history of my "stink-face" interactions with certain people in this thread go back further than January 2012 and are probably more convoluted that you've been tracking (cuz why would you track them? I certainly wouldn't). Each one of them has basically admitted to lazily trolling in this thread... but I need to shape up, right? EYE

So you justify your bad behaviour by the bad behaviour of others? Let me know how that works out for you.

PKM and his band of nannies.

I didn't know we had a band! Can I play triangle? Also, I just realized that I make six figures (when I include the 2 numbers behind the decimal point).

Dude!! By that scale I make 7!! Wish I had known that. Must be my lack of PHDs and knowing the diferrence between plants and crops. I knew that would come back to bite me...

Harder? Not as long as he's got dat sheepskin doe

chucked that, btw.

And, let the record show that I never slept with an undergraduate or anybody of that age while I was in academia.

So... how's the casanova life treating you, NAOS?


Now that you've left academia, are you finding it harder to attract young unsuspecting girls in the REAL WORLD?

I'm still dating the dominatrix. Monogamously.

That was your alt, right?

Not getting the joke.

The post was truth. Nothing alleged about it.

So... you're saying you did sleep with a postgraduate then?

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Let the record state that I do. not use Axe body-spray *shudder*



Let the record also state that the ecological repercussions that the grazing can cause in SW USA (as inferred by Dr. NAOS, PhD) is actually a good point, and one that strikes my interest. People haven't been talking about that enough.

How about the point that this land has been used for grazing for over a hundred years before this whole "incident".

1- If the soil was going to ruined for eternity it most likely has already been done and more grazing will not do more.

2- If in 100+ years of grazing they have not ruined some of the soil it is not likely to happen now.

I'm curious about the turtle reasoning. I've read that the turtles were becoming extinct and needed protection, but also that there was some action taken to kill lots of turtles before that to cut down their numbers. Was the whole turtle thing planned? What is the truth between the two stories?

Explaining jokes is like walking on cryptobionical soil, it's ruined forever.

I've already written about how the implementation of protective/security measures is often botched. But that doesn't make the measure itself faulty.

Also, continued grazing could have increasingly deleterious effects. That's basic.

marginal... that's basic too.

stunning comeback. #backpeddling...

I'm sure the state of Nevada would like to ensure that the impact is marginal. That's probably why they set up a basic regulatory measure.... which isn't being adhered to.

If people want to see open grazing of cattle somewhere in the US, then we should create zones in the midwest. I'd rather there wasn't a single hoof on the open- and un-fenced ranges of the Southwest. The evidence is pretty clear that, here, they're doing more harm than good.

I answered a question I was asked. Hantlers was trying to put me down by ****ting on my experience. I answered with a swoop to put that behavior in it's place.

Anyway, you of all people shouldn't bat an eye when someone else around here talks a wee bit about money. Right sugar daddy? You wag your **** around here more than anybody in the board's history. I've been so embarrassed for you so many times. Is it sATurDaY yEt?

I wish this avatar had room for a little heart, because you're clearly needing a shoulder to cry on. Just can't get a nut off lately, can you? Life coaches are all the rage right now... seriously, dude, get one... they don't have the stigma of therapy.

I'm pretty sure calling you and your lack of humor stillborn backpeddling... and what is backpeddling, is that selling stuff door to door while walking backwards?

You think the BLM is State run? I'm pretty sure it's not worth talking to you about this when you keep claiming to have a pulse on what's going on and what's important but don't actually know who the players are.
