We have what’s called a “Locals Card” here that allows businesses to reward the folks who patronize them year-round and not just in tourist season. Places like Aspen have a similar card.
They send out weekly emails with specials, none of which I’ve used, as they’re usually for tanning or nail salons or construction services. But today, if I buy a rifle or pistol at a certain local store I get a free box of ammo. Now that tugs at a girl’s heartstrings. It beats diamonds, right?
Like the state’s wildlife protection agency wants to increase the moose population only so they can issue hunting permits. Yes, I read it. Yet when the two moose walked by the fenced preserve (five feet from the fence) a few weeks ago neighbors were standing there silent, in awe, and a few picked up their smart phones and snapped a photo. All we want to “shoot” up here is photographs of wildlife, not the wildlife itself.
One search string that found this blog was “shooting Sandhill Cranes.” Honey, I hope you’re not trying to shoot them up here because they’re protected and you’ll get yourself in a heap of trouble! We and our neighbors will make sure of that. Cheers, Dee
