Subject: AMERICAN PARKS IN TROUBLE: 10 MOST ENDANGERED 2003
The National Parks Conservation Association has released their latest
"the sky is falling" reports. This report has been featured on prime
time national news. Here is the complete emotional rhetoric,
short-on-facts report.
AMERICAN PARKS IN TROUBLE: 10 MOST ENDANGERED 2003
WASHINGTON, DC, January 14, 2003 (ENS) - Insufficient funding
undermines protection of Montana's Glacier National Park. A new city
may grow on private land adjoining California's Joshua Tree National
Park, and pollution from coal burning power plants dims the air over
Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The National Parks Conservation
Association (NPCA) today released its annual list of America's Ten
Most Endangered National Parks, detailing these problems and many
others at five new parks and five the group has listed before.

made one size tank for the Yj's, the 20 gallon one. However I beg to
differ with that. I too was in the mind set of converting my tank to
hold the 20 gallons. When i went through the whole process of pulling
the tube out that is supposed to be something like 9 1/2 inches long.
Mine was only 3 inches, so needless to say I can still only get 15
gallons in my tank. I know this because the day after I pulled the 3
inches of tubing I ran the jeep til I ran out of gas. When I filled
it up only 15 gallons would fit. So I was disappointed. Now I do know
that my yj actually has a 96 engine in it from the VIN thats what teh
dealer told me, so I am not sure if all 95's are the same or not. Its
worth the try or if you can crawl underneath your rig and there is a
barcode sticker on teh drivers side of the tank and post the numbers
on it I can compare it to mine and see if they match or something.
Just FYI..

Subject: Intentional Trail Blockage
Well guys, from Clints discription, there is no doubt its Bad Medicine....and as much as I want to believe that the BLM had something to do with this, I would bet money that it was the miner. With all the pressure we have put on the BLM, I doubt that they would do something like this at this time. The miner has ran people off with his shotgun before, and I wouldn't put it past him to pull a stunt like this. If he did do it, then it is up to the authorities to take care of it. And if they don't, we'll write more LETTERS!

Sandee,
That sounds like it. There were no real obstacles above this fall in
the wash. I know I was out by Herring Mine a while ago and did not
get a "warm" reception, so I would not be suprised if it was "a"
miner. I had never seen this area before yesterday, but the guy I
was with said the boulders in the fall are new and they are not the
same make-up as the rest of rocks that make the fall. Plus, as I
mentioned, you can still see the dirt where the boulders had been.
I say this fall looks impassable to me, but if you took out
the "fresh" boulders it would still look impassable to me. LOL I'll
be glad when someone who knows the trail goes out and takes a look.
I'm glad we (Sandee) figured out which trail it was.

Mike,
I purchased two "sealed" boxes from Radio Shack. I forget the exact name of th boxes, but they come in different sizes. They also sell connectors so that you can create as many "hot" lines as you need. I mounted them on the firewall in the engine compartment. Drilled small holes for the wire (s) and one comes from the keyed side of the ignition and one from the accessory side. Fuses are after the boxes.
As you can tell, I am no expert in auto electronics (or any other type of electronics for that matter), but this has worked for a couple of years for me with no problems and it keeps me from having to crawl under the dash as much.

professional note to everyone:
NEVER TRUST AN EMAIL LIKE THIS!!! even if you know the person. if you think you have a virus and your antiviral software did not catch it then run a full virus scan and if you have contracted a virus go to www.norton.com and get information on how to remove the virus and fix the problems that it creates!
if you do not have any antiviral software please get some! you can even download norton's AV software for a trial version. it is not too expensive and it save alot of people alot of work.

Subject: Fwd: [Landuse] wolves out of control in yellowstone
Please read the below with these points in mind:
A wolf from Yellowstone was recently trapped in northern Utah
prompting calls to re-locate a wolf population in the southern part
of the state.
The Wildlands Project seeks to re-introduce large carnivores into the
North American eco-system. Large carnivores are grizzly bear, wolf,
and mountain lion.
Wolf re-introduction projects are underway in New Mexico. More are
being planned for other areas.
Grizzly bear re-introductions are being discussed for the Pacific
Northwest as well as California and Colorado.
Mountain lions are protected in California (three lives lost along
with numerous encounters) and re-introductions are being considered
in the southeast (under the name of Florida Black Panther).
Numerous other projects are underway to re-introduce smaller
carnivore (Lynx, bobcat, wolverine, and coyotes) to their historic
ranges.
After reading these columns, ask yourself' "What is the impact on my
recreation area?"
BTW, the suburbs and rural areas of the country are the "historic
ranges" for these carnivores, large and small.
Yellowstone Wolf Experiment Out of Control ©
By Jim Slinsky
http://www.outdoortalknetwork.com
It is with great sadness that I write this column. You didn't have to
be a wildlife biologist to foresee the outcome when you mix Canadian
timber wolves with the wildlife of Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone's wildlife populations have plummeted. Wolves are brutal,
vicious predators and have a tremendous impact on all wildlife in any
ecosystem.
I am not exaggerating. I radio interviewed a rancher, Mr. Robert T.
Fanning Jr. and a big game outfitter, Mr. William Hoppe, both of whom
live within sight of Yellowstone National Park. It is a whole "New
World" out there since Canadian timber wolves were introduced. Mr.
Fanning is the founder of "Friends of the Northern Yellowstone Elk
Herd". and Mr. Hoppe is the President. From investing hours on the
phone with these gentlemen I believe the American people and the
American sportsmen are not hearing the straight story on this
experiment that's flat out of control. Montana wildlife needs some
relief and so do it's private landowners, big game outfitters and
ranchers.
The original plan was for 78-100 wolves to be introduced into
Yellowstone. Of course, you realize hunting is not permitted in
Yellowstone or any other National Park. US Fish and Wildlife
personnel were concerned wildlife populations were too high and
impacting flora and fauna. (Sound familiar?) The environmentalists
were screaming their theme of returning to the "Natural Order" of
life in the wilds. The project went forward. The elk herd in
Yellowstone was estimated at 20,000 animals at the time of the
introduction of the wolves. Historic documents reveal that
Yellowstone's elk, the largest migratory elk herd in the US, was
about 30,000 at the turn of the 20th century.
In less than 10 years the effect wolves have had on Yellowstone's
wildlife has been nothing less than devastating. Elk populations hang
around 10,000; the moose and deer are almost completely gone.
Antelope went from 600 to 200 specimens. Sheep populations have
fallen from 300 to 40, possibly an inadequate amount to repopulate
the Park. Wolves are attacking horses, mules, livestock and stalking
children. The economic health of the region has collapsed and so has
the outfitting business north of Yellowstone. The wolves are
multiplying at the rate of 34% a year. There are now 370 wolves in
Yellowstone and 770 in the tri-state area of Montana, Wyoming and
Idaho. Wildlife in that region is getting hammered.
Forget what you heard about wolves killing only the weak and sick.
Wolves are canines and like dogs, they kill by instinct and for fun.
Aerial photographs document dead, red wildlife carcasses over the
landscape. Wolves practice "surplus killing" whether they are hungry
or not. The wildlife of the region can not rest and they live in
constant fear. Like coyotes following a deer herd, a wolf pack
pursuit is relentless. One wolf will kill 23-25 mature elk a year,
not counting calves. Now multiply that by 770 wolves. The recruitment
of newborn game animals into their populations has been the hardest
hit. Elk calf survival is averaging 14 out of every 100. In
high-density wolf areas, only 4 out of every 100 calves survive the
wolf packs. Keep in mind, these wolves are not native to the region.
The Rocky Mountain wolf at 80 pounds, which hunts in pairs, has been
displaced by this Canadian gray wolf, which hunts in packs. This
predatory machine has no predator.
The Montana Department of Game, Fish and Parks has applied to the US
Fish and Wildlife Service for de-listing of the wolf from
"threatened" to "game" animal status. A decision will be made in
December. Environmental groups have vowed to sue and tie this up in
court for years. The environmentalists will stab the US F & W Service
in the back in the process. They both worked together to introduce
the wolves. The residents of that region desperately need relief and
start the process of controlling this insidious predator. Wolf
introduction is earmarked for all of our western states. We now know
what this predator can do to our wildlife, sport hunting and the
economies of these states. We also know they are being used as a
divisive tool against the private property owning Americans living in
that region.
We simply must say "no" to wolf reintroduction. Sportsmen, private
landowners and all Americans need to recognize this program as
eco-terrorism on our wildlife. It is an obvious attempt to end sport
hunting. Bill Hoppe suggests if Easterners have any doubt about the
brutality and devastation of wolves, they only need come to
Yellowstone and witness the carnage. We only need watch the ground
turn red from the blood of our valued wildlife. We only need listen
to the crying of an animal being consumed alive. We only need listen
to their screams of agony.

Yellowstone Wolf Debate Rages On ©
By Jim Slinsky
http://www.outdoortalknetwork.com
It was not possible to completely inform you of all the intricacies
in the wolf debate in one, single 800-word column. I can not think of
an issue, statewide or nationwide, as critical to the future of
hunting, big game outfitting, ranching or the rights of private
landowners as the introduction of Canadian timber wolves into the US.
In other words, I don’t feel completely vented from last week's
column. Rarely, has an issue touched me as deeply. Canadian timber
wolves are 150-160 pound critters that hunt in packs.
Never in the last 200 years have we had such effective and relentless
predators living amongst us. Even some scientists within the wolf
recovery program readily admit that they had no idea in 1995 how
quickly these animals would multiply and how effective they would be
at killing game. The wolf's reintroduction has surpassed almost
everyone's expectations at reducing game animals within Yellowstone
and the surrounding territory.
The concern on the minds of many is when will it stop. Will the US
Fish and Wildlife Service allow wolves to reduce the Yellowstone elk
herd to a few thousand animals? Will the USFWS allow de-listing of
the wolf and permit them to be hunted as a game animal? When the elk
are gone will it be horses, cattle and sheep, next? Domestic
livestock have already fallen prey to the Canadian timber wolves of
Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. However, let's take it from the top and
look at this objectively. Here's the story line. National park
personnel complain to the USFWS that our national parks are carrying
too many animals over the winter. Damage is being done to the flora
and fauna. Without regulated hunting the options are few.
Environmentalists push hard at every political level to return to the
"Natural Order" of nature's grand plan. Environmentalists argue that
the only logical option is to bring in predators such as mountain
lions, grizzlies and timber wolves to control the wildlife
populations within the park. Within a few short years, elk and deer
grazing on grasses is no longer the problem. The new problem is
mountain lions, grizzlies and wolves have expanded their territory
and are now munching on cattle, sheep, dogs and cats. Humans become
very nervous when these deadly predators are staring them down on
their leisurely stroll to their rural mailbox.
Debating to take a gun with you every time you step outside is not a
fun way to live. Worrying about how many cattle or sheep you will
lose tonight can infuriate even a happy-go-lucky rancher. Frankly,
the entire debate to reintroduce large predators across the US to
pre-colonial prominence is intellectually bankrupt. It is without
question the most ludicrous discussion in the entire wildlife
management arena. America has changed forever and will never return
to pre-colonial ecosystems.
America is now the land of the free and home of the brave, all 300
million of us. Failure to recognize this fact is the equivalent of
failing to accept the world is filled with dangerous people who would
like to kill Americans. The truth is as the most intelligent life
form on this planet we have an obligation to aspire to maintain our
wild ecosystems as complete as possible. Large predators have a place
in very limited quantities in our most remote areas. They should be
hunted hard and fair game as they expand into areas inhabited by
humans. We must teach them to run at the sight of a human, not crouch
in the posture of attack.
The USFWS seems determined to become involved in the management of
wildlife. I don't see the problem. They should establish maximum
populations for every game animal living in every national park. They
should work closely with the appropriate states and sanction special
permit hunts to cull excessive animals. Let the American hunter, a
human being take advantage of this valuable resource. The wildlife of
America belongs to our people, not predators, to use wisely and
responsibly.
Let the debacle of the Yellowstone experiment teach us a lesson. The
environmental extremists’ "grand plan" of returning to the "Natural
Order" by reintroducing large predators across America is a pipe
dream. These deadly animals will always conflict with man with
escalating frequency. They are a threat to private property rights,
the future of sport hunting and the rural people and economies across
this nation.
Assistant Secretary Craig Manson of the US Dept. of Interior, 1849 C
Street NW, Room 3156, Washington DC, 24240 wants to hear from you. As
usual your input in these debates will determine our future. Banning
hunting as a wildlife management tool on national parklands is
outdated. It is the only sensible, intelligent approach to deal with
ever-increasing wildlife in a nation with ever-decreasing habitat.

Augh, we didn't! We didn't...

BEDEVERE:
Good! Heh heh.

Mike,
I spent some time building a setup that includes a fuse block in one of those Radio Shack project boxes to keep most of the water out. I'm no electrical expert but this has worked for me just fine for a year now. Remember when wiring from the block to a device to use a gauge that matches the current draw. I used trailer wire with the connector attached so I could quick-disconnect something but the amps were low.

Need some tips/advice/ideas/comments from anyone that has added a separate power panel distribution for easy access to direct power from the battery.
I am looking at installing a panel in my 2000 TJ that will be live (a direct feed from the battery) and I can make all my aftermarket connections to, i.e. rock lights/driving lights/arb compressor. I was wondering if anyone has done this and has any leads on where to get the parts. Also, any tips/pics etc... would be appreciated
I have checked the obvious auto parts stores and all they have is some lower quality components that are not what I am looking for.

Subject: Re: Fwd: [Landuse] wolves out of control in yellowstone
After reading this and re-reading this I cannot help but wonder how
much of this is/was created by the local ranchers. The ranchers
complained years ago when the herds of elk were getting so big that
they were, in their words, "leaving nothing on the ground for cattle
to graze on". The local people decided to go out and feed the elk to
lessen the impact to the ranchers along with lessen the natural cycle
of killing, due to starvation.
Now the introduction of the wolf. Another incroachment of greenies
and the government or an attempt to put the natural cycle back on
path? Since, as the article states, there is no hunting on this land
and the elk heard was so great, wouldn't it make sense to thin this
herd due to the lack of hunting? If nothing else the thinning of elks
would be good due to the lack of food to sustain the great population
of these animals? These articles go further to warn against the next
re-introductions of "Lynx, bobcat, wolverine, and coyotes" and the
wolf into New Mexico (which, by the way, it has been documented,
ranchers have been killing these animals too). Is this a warning or a
scare tactic?
I find it hard to believe that even if the wolves kill for
fun/bordum, as these articles proclaim, that the meat/carcassas go to
waste. If nothing else the carnivorous birds, such as ravens and
buzzards, will eat the eat left laying on the ground.
So I guess the general questions here are, who is the killers? The
wolves? the ranchers? the greenies? the feds? or all the above? and
where does the killing stop? or does it need to?
Personally, I feel the introduction of the wolf and other carnivores
in to the national parks amounts to nothing more than "prescribed
burns" in the national forests.

Subject: Re: Clear bra on new paint?
Dave,
My sister has this on her new Honda CRV and you can't hardly tell it
is there. She lives in Denver and the crap that comes up from the
road is worse than Arizona.
This may also be a good product to coat painted fender flares with,
since they always seem to get nicked by rocks coming off the tires.
You might want to visit a Honda dealer to see if they have any
information on it.

The National Parks Conservation Association has released their latest
"the sky is falling" reports. This report has been featured on prime
time national news. Here is the complete emotional rhetoric,
short-on-facts report.
AMERICAN PARKS IN TROUBLE: 10 MOST ENDANGERED 2003
WASHINGTON, DC, January 14, 2003 (ENS) - Insufficient funding
undermines protection of Montana's Glacier National Park. A new city
may grow on private land adjoining California's Joshua Tree National
Park, and pollution from coal burning power plants dims the air over
Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The National Parks Conservation
Association (NPCA) today released its annual list of America's Ten
Most Endangered National Parks, detailing these problems and many
others at five new parks and five the group has listed before.

made one size tank for the Yj's, the 20 gallon one. However I beg to
differ with that. I too was in the mind set of converting my tank to
hold the 20 gallons. When i went through the whole process of pulling
the tube out that is supposed to be something like 9 1/2 inches long.
Mine was only 3 inches, so needless to say I can still only get 15
gallons in my tank. I know this because the day after I pulled the 3
inches of tubing I ran the jeep til I ran out of gas. When I filled
it up only 15 gallons would fit. So I was disappointed. Now I do know
that my yj actually has a 96 engine in it from the VIN thats what teh
dealer told me, so I am not sure if all 95's are the same or not. Its
worth the try or if you can crawl underneath your rig and there is a
barcode sticker on teh drivers side of the tank and post the numbers
on it I can compare it to mine and see if they match or something.

Subject: Intentional Trail Blockage
Well guys, from Clints discription, there is no doubt its Bad Medicine....and as much as I want to believe that the BLM had something to do with this, I would bet money that it was the miner. With all the pressure we have put on the BLM, I doubt that they would do something like this at this time. The miner has ran people off with his shotgun before, and I wouldn't put it past him to pull a stunt like this. If he did do it, then it is up to the authorities to take care of it. And if they don't, we'll write more LETTERS!

Sandee,
That sounds like it. There were no real obstacles above this fall in
the wash. I know I was out by Herring Mine a while ago and did not
get a "warm" reception, so I would not be suprised if it was "a"
miner. I had never seen this area before yesterday, but the guy I
was with said the boulders in the fall are new and they are not the
same make-up as the rest of rocks that make the fall. Plus, as I
mentioned, you can still see the dirt where the boulders had been.
I say this fall looks impassable to me, but if you took out
the "fresh" boulders it would still look impassable to me. LOL I'll
be glad when someone who knows the trail goes out and takes a look.
I'm glad we (Sandee) figured out which trail it was.

Mike,
I purchased two "sealed" boxes from Radio Shack. I forget the exact name of th boxes, but they come in different sizes. They also sell connectors so that you can create as many "hot" lines as you need. I mounted them on the firewall in the engine compartment. Drilled small holes for the wire (s) and one comes from the keyed side of the ignition and one from the accessory side. Fuses are after the boxes.
As you can tell, I am no expert in auto electronics (or any other type of electronics for that matter), but this has worked for a couple of years for me with no problems and it keeps me from having to crawl under the dash as much.

professional note to everyone:
NEVER TRUST AN EMAIL LIKE THIS!!! even if you know the person. if you think you have a virus and your antiviral software did not catch it then run a full virus scan and if you have contracted a virus go to www.norton.com and get information on how to remove the virus and fix the problems that it creates!
if you do not have any antiviral software please get some! you can even download norton's AV software for a trial version. it is not too expensive and it save alot of people alot of work.

Subject: Fwd: [Landuse] wolves out of control in yellowstone
Please read the below with these points in mind:
A wolf from Yellowstone was recently trapped in northern Utah
prompting calls to re-locate a wolf population in the southern part
of the state.
The Wildlands Project seeks to re-introduce large carnivores into the
North American eco-system. Large carnivores are grizzly bear, wolf,
and mountain lion.
Wolf re-introduction projects are underway in New Mexico. More are
being planned for other areas.
Grizzly bear re-introductions are being discussed for the Pacific
Northwest as well as California and Colorado.
Mountain lions are protected in California (three lives lost along
with numerous encounters) and re-introductions are being considered
in the southeast (under the name of Florida Black Panther).
Numerous other projects are underway to re-introduce smaller
carnivore (Lynx, bobcat, wolverine, and coyotes) to their historic
ranges.
After reading these columns, ask yourself' "What is the impact on my
recreation area?"
BTW, the suburbs and rural areas of the country are the "historic
ranges" for these carnivores, large and small.
Yellowstone Wolf Experiment Out of Control ©
By Jim Slinsky
http://www.outdoortalknetwork.com
It is with great sadness that I write this column. You didn't have to
be a wildlife biologist to foresee the outcome when you mix Canadian
timber wolves with the wildlife of Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone's wildlife populations have plummeted. Wolves are brutal,
vicious predators and have a tremendous impact on all wildlife in any
ecosystem.
I am not exaggerating. I radio interviewed a rancher, Mr. Robert T.
Fanning Jr. and a big game outfitter, Mr. William Hoppe, both of whom
live within sight of Yellowstone National Park. It is a whole "New
World" out there since Canadian timber wolves were introduced. Mr.
Fanning is the founder of "Friends of the Northern Yellowstone Elk
Herd". and Mr. Hoppe is the President. From investing hours on the
phone with these gentlemen I believe the American people and the
American sportsmen are not hearing the straight story on this
experiment that's flat out of control. Montana wildlife needs some
relief and so do it's private landowners, big game outfitters and
ranchers.
The original plan was for 78-100 wolves to be introduced into
Yellowstone. Of course, you realize hunting is not permitted in
Yellowstone or any other National Park. US Fish and Wildlife
personnel were concerned wildlife populations were too high and
impacting flora and fauna. (Sound familiar?) The environmentalists
were screaming their theme of returning to the "Natural Order" of
life in the wilds. The project went forward. The elk herd in
Yellowstone was estimated at 20,000 animals at the time of the
introduction of the wolves. Historic documents reveal that
Yellowstone's elk, the largest migratory elk herd in the US, was
about 30,000 at the turn of the 20th century.
In less than 10 years the effect wolves have had on Yellowstone's
wildlife has been nothing less than devastating. Elk populations hang
around 10,000; the moose and deer are almost completely gone.
Antelope went from 600 to 200 specimens. Sheep populations have
fallen from 300 to 40, possibly an inadequate amount to repopulate
the Park. Wolves are attacking horses, mules, livestock and stalking
children. The economic health of the region has collapsed and so has
the outfitting business north of Yellowstone. The wolves are
multiplying at the rate of 34% a year. There are now 370 wolves in
Yellowstone and 770 in the tri-state area of Montana, Wyoming and
Idaho. Wildlife in that region is getting hammered.
Forget what you heard about wolves killing only the weak and sick.
Wolves are canines and like dogs, they kill by instinct and for fun.
Aerial photographs document dead, red wildlife carcasses over the
landscape. Wolves practice "surplus killing" whether they are hungry
or not. The wildlife of the region can not rest and they live in
constant fear. Like coyotes following a deer herd, a wolf pack
pursuit is relentless. One wolf will kill 23-25 mature elk a year,
not counting calves. Now multiply that by 770 wolves. The recruitment
of newborn game animals into their populations has been the hardest
hit. Elk calf survival is averaging 14 out of every 100. In
high-density wolf areas, only 4 out of every 100 calves survive the
wolf packs. Keep in mind, these wolves are not native to the region.
The Rocky Mountain wolf at 80 pounds, which hunts in pairs, has been
displaced by this Canadian gray wolf, which hunts in packs. This
predatory machine has no predator.
The Montana Department of Game, Fish and Parks has applied to the US
Fish and Wildlife Service for de-listing of the wolf from
"threatened" to "game" animal status. A decision will be made in
December. Environmental groups have vowed to sue and tie this up in
court for years. The environmentalists will stab the US F & W Service
in the back in the process. They both worked together to introduce
the wolves. The residents of that region desperately need relief and
start the process of controlling this insidious predator. Wolf
introduction is earmarked for all of our western states. We now know
what this predator can do to our wildlife, sport hunting and the
economies of these states. We also know they are being used as a
divisive tool against the private property owning Americans living in
that region.
We simply must say "no" to wolf reintroduction. Sportsmen, private
landowners and all Americans need to recognize this program as
eco-terrorism on our wildlife. It is an obvious attempt to end sport
hunting. Bill Hoppe suggests if Easterners have any doubt about the
brutality and devastation of wolves, they only need come to
Yellowstone and witness the carnage. We only need watch the ground
turn red from the blood of our valued wildlife. We only need listen
to the crying of an animal being consumed alive. We only need listen
to their screams of agony.

Yellowstone Wolf Debate Rages On ©
By Jim Slinsky
http://www.outdoortalknetwork.com
It was not possible to completely inform you of all the intricacies
in the wolf debate in one, single 800-word column. I can not think of
an issue, statewide or nationwide, as critical to the future of
hunting, big game outfitting, ranching or the rights of private
landowners as the introduction of Canadian timber wolves into the US.
In other words, I don’t feel completely vented from last week's
column. Rarely, has an issue touched me as deeply. Canadian timber
wolves are 150-160 pound critters that hunt in packs.
Never in the last 200 years have we had such effective and relentless
predators living amongst us. Even some scientists within the wolf
recovery program readily admit that they had no idea in 1995 how
quickly these animals would multiply and how effective they would be
at killing game. The wolf's reintroduction has surpassed almost
everyone's expectations at reducing game animals within Yellowstone
and the surrounding territory.
The concern on the minds of many is when will it stop. Will the US
Fish and Wildlife Service allow wolves to reduce the Yellowstone elk
herd to a few thousand animals? Will the USFWS allow de-listing of
the wolf and permit them to be hunted as a game animal? When the elk
are gone will it be horses, cattle and sheep, next? Domestic
livestock have already fallen prey to the Canadian timber wolves of
Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. However, let's take it from the top and
look at this objectively. Here's the story line. National park
personnel complain to the USFWS that our national parks are carrying
too many animals over the winter. Damage is being done to the flora
and fauna. Without regulated hunting the options are few.
Environmentalists push hard at every political level to return to the
"Natural Order" of nature's grand plan. Environmentalists argue that
the only logical option is to bring in predators such as mountain
lions, grizzlies and timber wolves to control the wildlife
populations within the park. Within a few short years, elk and deer
grazing on grasses is no longer the problem. The new problem is
mountain lions, grizzlies and wolves have expanded their territory
and are now munching on cattle, sheep, dogs and cats. Humans become
very nervous when these deadly predators are staring them down on
their leisurely stroll to their rural mailbox.
Debating to take a gun with you every time you step outside is not a
fun way to live. Worrying about how many cattle or sheep you will
lose tonight can infuriate even a happy-go-lucky rancher. Frankly,
the entire debate to reintroduce large predators across the US to
pre-colonial prominence is intellectually bankrupt. It is without
question the most ludicrous discussion in the entire wildlife
management arena. America has changed forever and will never return
to pre-colonial ecosystems.
America is now the land of the free and home of the brave, all 300
million of us. Failure to recognize this fact is the equivalent of
failing to accept the world is filled with dangerous people who would
like to kill Americans. The truth is as the most intelligent life
form on this planet we have an obligation to aspire to maintain our
wild ecosystems as complete as possible. Large predators have a place
in very limited quantities in our most remote areas. They should be
hunted hard and fair game as they expand into areas inhabited by
humans. We must teach them to run at the sight of a human, not crouch
in the posture of attack.
The USFWS seems determined to become involved in the management of
wildlife. I don't see the problem. They should establish maximum
populations for every game animal living in every national park. They
should work closely with the appropriate states and sanction special
permit hunts to cull excessive animals. Let the American hunter, a
human being take advantage of this valuable resource. The wildlife of
America belongs to our people, not predators, to use wisely and
responsibly.
Let the debacle of the Yellowstone experiment teach us a lesson. The
environmental extremists’ "grand plan" of returning to the "Natural
Order" by reintroducing large predators across America is a pipe
dream. These deadly animals will always conflict with man with
escalating frequency. They are a threat to private property rights,
the future of sport hunting and the rural people and economies across
this nation.
Assistant Secretary Craig Manson of the US Dept. of Interior, 1849 C
Street NW, Room 3156, Washington DC, 24240 wants to hear from you. As
usual your input in these debates will determine our future. Banning
hunting as a wildlife management tool on national parklands is
outdated. It is the only sensible, intelligent approach to deal with
ever-increasing wildlife in a nation with ever-decreasing habitat.

Mike,
I spent some time building a setup that includes a fuse block in one of those Radio Shack project boxes to keep most of the water out. I'm no electrical expert but this has worked for me just fine for a year now. Remember when wiring from the block to a device to use a gauge that matches the current draw. I used trailer wire with the connector attached so I could quick-disconnect something but the amps were low.

Need some tips/advice/ideas/comments from anyone that has added a separate power panel distribution for easy access to direct power from the battery.
I am looking at installing a panel in my 2000 TJ that will be live (a direct feed from the battery) and I can make all my aftermarket connections to, i.e. rock lights/driving lights/arb compressor. I was wondering if anyone has done this and has any leads on where to get the parts. Also, any tips/pics etc... would be appreciated
I have checked the obvious auto parts stores and all they have is some lower quality components that are not what I am looking for.

Subject: Re: Fwd: [Landuse] wolves out of control in yellowstone
After reading this and re-reading this I cannot help but wonder how
much of this is/was created by the local ranchers. The ranchers
complained years ago when the herds of elk were getting so big that
they were, in their words, "leaving nothing on the ground for cattle
to graze on". The local people decided to go out and feed the elk to
lessen the impact to the ranchers along with lessen the natural cycle
of killing, due to starvation.
Now the introduction of the wolf. Another incroachment of greenies
and the government or an attempt to put the natural cycle back on
path? Since, as the article states, there is no hunting on this land
and the elk heard was so great, wouldn't it make sense to thin this
herd due to the lack of hunting? If nothing else the thinning of elks
would be good due to the lack of food to sustain the great population
of these animals? These articles go further to warn against the next
re-introductions of "Lynx, bobcat, wolverine, and coyotes" and the
wolf into New Mexico (which, by the way, it has been documented,
ranchers have been killing these animals too). Is this a warning or a
scare tactic?
I find it hard to believe that even if the wolves kill for
fun/bordum, as these articles proclaim, that the meat/carcassas go to
waste. If nothing else the carnivorous birds, such as ravens and
buzzards, will eat the eat left laying on the ground.
So I guess the general questions here are, who is the killers? The
wolves? the ranchers? the greenies? the feds? or all the above? and
where does the killing stop? or does it need to?
Personally, I feel the introduction of the wolf and other carnivores
in to the national parks amounts to nothing more than "prescribed
burns" in the national forests.

Subject: Re: Clear bra on new paint?
Dave,
My sister has this on her new Honda CRV and you can't hardly tell it
is there. She lives in Denver and the crap that comes up from the
road is worse than Arizona.
This may also be a good product to coat painted fender flares with,
since they always seem to get nicked by rocks coming off the tires.
You might want to visit a Honda dealer to see if they have any
information on it.

And really really expensive ones. I ask the Snap on about the price and
he said $280 for the set. I have heard good ones can be gotten at Sears.

Snap-on or Mac make some good ones. If you are in the east valley
