Quoted by 289FS :

"I just wonder why there is a law on the books stating we can not hunt this species if they don't even exist in the state"

Not that I would ever have a desire to hunt them but that is a great question..
Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was coming to the mountains to trap and be a mountain man. Acted like they was gut-shot. Says, "son, make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Them mountains is for animals and savages." I said, "Mother Gue, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world." And by God I was right.
