Fishing Forum

On the way up to Strawberry last weekend we couldn't help but notice all the road kills. we saw moose, elk, and lots of deer. Down in Heber City turkey vultures were righting on the roof tops of some of the buildings. I wonder if the california condor folks whom managed to get lead ammunition banned in the southern half of the state ever though about how many animals get killed at the road side scooping on those carcasses.
Instead of worrying about a big dumb bird eating a bullet and dying would it not be more productive to gather those carcasses up and haul them to different areas and spread them out some so the birds can eat safely away from the road and its deadly traffic? Most of the road kill close to town. Highway 89 for example has most of its road kill waste away and not get eaten. I say take those things out and put them where they can be eaten. I bet that would take some of the pressure off the animals that are out there being chased by coyotes and bears. Just a thought.

I'm all for someone taking all that road kill and moving it to another location but it begs the question, where would the money come from to pay for moving all these dead animals? I think Peta should foot the bill[].

I was thinking the U S Fish and Wildlife Service because they forced the hunters to use the copper ammo now they need to foot the bill. After all one of those condors could get run over while he is eating. I think the odds are a lot higher for that happening than one of them ingesting a bullet and dying of lead poisoning. The copper ammo will eventually cost sportsman thousands more than the lead ammo. The Fish and Wildlife Service should recognize the threat from the birds eating road kill on the side of the road is certainly higher. Oh well I bet they would rather help make hunting harder because that is their real motavation. Have a nice 4th Curt. we are headed for Boise tomorrow. Lets go fishing when we get a chance.
