Pictures or it never happened



Ok. If I can figure out how to work the wife's camera, I'll do it.

Yup. Bout 2 miles outside my hometown there is a guy that has a decent sized pig operation. His wife likes the eagles, so he drags any of the dead pigs into the field across the road. I've seen upwards of 30 eagles in that spot at one time, fuckers are everywhere.

whats he do the other half of the year? just stock pile them in the garage? must be Corn Cob, only man alive that could train the pig to die in the winter


Did I miss something? Don't think I said he only does it in the winter, although there usually are more around in the winter...

That's a joke, I ain't mad at 'em. But here, eagles are only cool outside of waterfowl season, as they'll clear a farm or marsh of birds with a pass and keep them away as long as they're airborne in the area.


They can be your enemy or friend here.

Don't see hardly any down here either. There is a nest in a town an hour away that always has tourist stopped on the side of the road trying to see them.

I should start charging admission to walk into the back pasture. Set up my own redneck eco-tourism gig. They can watch bald eagles, pet a dead fox (for educational purposes, of course), and eat a road killed, recycled deer. If they want, I'll let them split wood too, just so they can go tell their city friends what it's like, and act like badasses.




I may be on to something, here.

Exactly, except it would only be the "R". You know damn well a bunch of yups would pay out the ass to see how "tough" they are. I was thinking of charging $5,000 per week. You write down your safe word on a signed affidavit/release. If you make it the full 7 days without using it, you get a $3,000 refund. Waterboarding, stress positions, sleep deprivation, you name it. People would eat that shit up. Heck, could probably book corporate "team building" getaways. Give them a group rate.

Where we hunt to the west is very, very different habitat than the Basin's. I've yet to see an eagle this year, and they're rare enough that even a bad shot of one made last season's log:

Don't mind them being scarce one bit.
