NICE IM READY TO HUNT NOW!!!

LOL cool your jets, bub.  The Sonoran Pronghorn is an endangered species--just a few hundred remain. This guy may die of old age, but his offspring are having a tough time recovering to huntable populations due to coyote and cougar predation. Word on the refuge is that the wardens shoot coyotes on sight while on duty.

Isn't that in the area where they told American to stay out of because it wasn't safe from all the drug runners etc?

Yes it is. I used to work that area and it has a high volume of narcotic traffic as well as human smuggling traffic.(Which means that the pronghorn can't rest during the day or at night with people walking through their bedroom 24hrs a day) Also there has been sightings and trail cam pics of jaguars in the area(one proven breeding pair) which doesn't help the pronghorn population.

A picture is worth 1,000 words...

This is an excerpt from a big time radio ad, at least down here:

"He sues Arizona and posts warning signs on lands inside our state - some as close as 30 miles to Phoenix - telling our own citizens to keep out! That's not protection - that's surrender." ~Gov. Jan Brewer on President Obama.
