I had many pictures showing the damage and the dead calves from coyotes and mountain lions in Southeast Colorado. In fact, my very first 4-H heifer at the age of nine had her first calf killed by a coyote. Every time I’d testify I’d also remind people that I RAISE these predators.

Old Jasper Blankenship bought a deer license again this year, just as he’s done every year since Eisenhower was President. He sticks nickels and dimes in a jar all year long and smiles each time he contributes. By Fall, he’s saved up enough for a deer tag.
