No to wine
Yes to weed and psychedelics


If more people smoked weed/did shrooms and less drank alcohol, the world would be a better place.

Legalize weed? Check!

Allow the selling of wine in convenience stores? Nope!

Why would they want to do away with wolves?

Well that’s not the case even here. It’s the moose that are the worst. Unlike bears, those bastards don’t fear us and are even more dangerous than bears. Super territorial.

Had three bull moose two years ago decide to sleep at our camp site. I was lucky to have a car, but they are huge and a site to behold. The alpha male was so fricking big that it’s antlers went up to eye level of an African elephant. He was as big as the moose in this video.

Can someone please explain to me what the positives are to reintroducing wolves? Sight-seeing and thinking they are just cool animals do not count.

I guarantee people voted yes to the wolves because of that dumb video going around on social media about how introducing 14 wolves into Yellowstone completely changed the ecosystem for the better.


A professor who has looked into it says the video is bullshite.

quote:

"It's a lovely story, and I would love this to be true, but it isn't," Hobbs said. "[The video] is demonstratively false."

Hobbs, who uses the video to open many of his seminars, has written several research papers regarding Yellowstone's willows. His research indicates that wolves have had very little impact on willow growth since their 1995 reintroduction.

Here is how out of touch the Denver/Boulder libs are in Colorado.


There are already wolves in Colorado. There have been at least one pack of wolves for the last 20 years that run around Frazier, Tabernash, and Granby. That pack ranges outside of Grand Lake as well.

I know of other packs further west as well. They don’t need “reintroduced” if these hippies would get far enough away from their latte shops they would see them.

Thats the argument I got (hurts craft brewers, small stores) from a friend who owns a brewery.

Hardly convincing.

The other funny thing from the election was slamming the door on modest reforms for Bingo halls and games like that at churches.

I think everyone is so primed to see graft that everyone assumed it was a way to do something shady. I had that initial reaction, but if youre going to run a bingo game at your church for three years to pay yourself... I guess you earned it.

But no one is going to do that.

There's so few moose, I dont worry much. Im sure not going to frick with one but OML has some bad luck to have run into one.

Black bears are the most common problem at the camps around here. shite had one tearing up property down in the village this summer and a handful of campers had a bear visit.

If people knew the number of cougars running around here...

Do they keep them in zoos or something?


When I was at field camp near Salida, I came out of a draw and there were six wolves just sunning themselves off to a side. Big, healthy looking animals living along the Colorado River.

They didn't need any reintroduction and, thankfully, they were well fed. It was an area with some vacationers camping in RVs but not a lot of ranching.

Same here. I am downtown, we got one every night until October.

Wolves are super stealthy and timid around humans. Its freaky, you can hear them but never know where they are. I don't think I've heard of any breaking into people's camps.

Say good bye to your outdoor dogs.

Wolves see dogs as competition to territory. They will gang up and rip a German Shepard to shreds or rip three dogs apart at the same time.
