Ping.
Environ-MENTAL Nanny State PING!
I always conserve Sage Grouse. Those things are good eating...don’t want to eat it all at once. I conserve to enjoy the taste over the long term!
I love sage grouse, they taste like, um, wild chicken.....
We have been through this before. There was a study done a few years back that linked the decline not to overgrazing, overhunting, fire or cars but to the increase in cell phone towers where now raptors can perch and look for dinner.
Here in Nevada the most damage to the bird’s habitat is wild land fire on “Federal” land. A few years ago there were burns that wiped out three big nesting area’s. All three were let burn until they became Tier 1 fires. Tier 1 is when the big money comes into play for all involved.
Makes me sick. All of these fires could of been put out in short order if the air attack problems had been resolved under W.
Luckily, the venomous tri-spurred spitting Red-hooded Platypus infestation here keeps the prairie grouse population under control. They’re tough on horses, bears, the elderly, and children, though.
And yet still legal to hunt?

These companies got millions of "free" Fed monies...and exemption's for killing Bald Eagles and other raptors...
It's all just TOTAL B.S.
If the stars ever line up, one of the high priority actions should be the repeal of the ESA. It is weapon of the left and dictatorial Federal control.
Nevada sage grouse is limited to 2 per day, 4 in possession. Most quit hunting them not worth the gas. Safeway chicken is way more cost effective. Oh and the season is very short.
Second page.
I hope that patriots remember to apply rule #1 concerning all federal laws to this law. That rule is to determine if the states have ever delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to make such a law in the first place.
And in the case of the ESA, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly delegate such power to the feds.
Consider that if the state lawmakers still uniquely elected the federal Senate as the Founding States had intended, then state lawmakers would have spurred the Senate to either kill the bill that established the ESA since the ESA stole 10th Amendment-protected state powers, or work with the House to propose a wildlife amendment to the Constitution to the states. Such an amendment would have granted Congress the specific power to make such a law if the states had chosen to ratify it.
But as a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, that amendment effectively repealing the whole Constitution imo, the ESA is just another example where the corrupt Senate failed to do its job to protect the states as the drafters of the Constitution had intended.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators along with it.
If this bird is in 11 states then it ain’t endangered!
Wyoming must be doing something right.
Let’s model federal law on Wyoming law.
Guck the fouses...
Guck the frouses.
