Silly, they have already started. I have found two matching sets of curls just last week. Lying side by side!

THEY DROP THEIR HORNS WHEN THE GIANT SLUGS COME OUT OF HIBERNATION,  AND THEY MAKE THE SHED HORNS THEIR HOMES,...  SO THEY TURN INTO GIANT SNAILS!!!  :yike:  :yike: :dunno:

Actual question at the Chelan Ranger Station.
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Since you mentioned it, I just got back from Lebanon, OR this weekend.  Looked like they were having a Ram Bachelor Herd Convention outside of Biggs on Friday...

...Oh, and they were all still packin'... :chuckle: :chuckle:
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

FF4607 and I saw a Bighorn on the hills above Biggs on the Washington side two years ago. That was cool, I did not know we had sheep there on the WA side.

That is cool.  I hope they spread.  Never seen them on the WA side.  Only in OR.

The Bio I talked to said they drop on the 32nd of Juvember... :chuckle:
