How to thin the herd

Ive been in the second car behind the locomotive and hit some antelope doing close to 100. We were on a 21 mile test loop and it was a given that we would hit coyotes on the second or third lap afterwards. Nothing like that at all.


I bet the carnivores in that area got fat.
 
This only happened because they were on their winter range, you know, when it's like shooting fish in a barrel - the very reason we don't have any hunts at all of any kind in December :rolleyes:

Just regulate away the scopes and it's all good. The health of the herd will bounce back like no tomorrow...:ROFLMAO:
 
Yep, that takes care of about 20-30 animals.
Sad but it’s a fact (which we all hate) of modern life.

I’ve got a buddy who is an Engineer for Union Pacific and he has a route from Arkansas to Louisiana, he frequently runs over deer, horses, cows, dogs and an occasional vehicle or two. He has been involved in four fatalities in 27 years.

In the early 90’s I witnessed the aftermath of 7 illegal aliens plowed over by a train in South Texas. Apparently they were sleeping between the tracks in a belief that rattle snakes couldn’t crawl over the rails. These bodies were so mangled you couldn’t tell if they were male or female, just one big mass of human flesh.
 
My dad worked on the railroad for 35 years hauling lumber up the Eel River canyon. He said that going up a grade, the train has to maintain a certain speed, or it will stop, and you can't get it going again. And that's with two engines pulling and one engine in the back pushing. Brandon will tell you that trains are better for the environment than pipelines.
