Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking that anyone with information concerning two separate Salida-area poaching incidents come forward.
On November 19, around 11:00 a.m., near Ute Heights off of county road 178, a deer was shot and loaded into what is believed to be a black or charcoal Nissan Titan or Toyota Tundra by three males. One man was wearing a white T-shirt and the two others were in dark clothing. The vehicle was last seen driving toward U.S. Forest Service Rd. 175 and the intersection into Pinon Hills.

Hope for moisture has faded, and fire weather may make an appearance Sunday.
A slight chance of rain remains in the forecast until 9:00 a.m. Sunday, only to be replaced by blowing dust after 11:00 a.m. The warmest day of the week will see a high near 60 before falling to the mid-20s overnight. West winds will increase to 25 to 35 miles-per-hour, with gusts as high as 50 mph. Conditions will fall just short of fire weather thresholds, however any activity that could spark a fire is strongly discouraged.

Steve slowly saddled his horse, Old Snort, and climbed stiffly aboard in the cold snap of morning. He pulled his hat down a little lower and pulled the wild rag up to cover his nose and mouth from the morning chill.
How many mornings had he done this?
As Snort trotted out into the meadows of the hills surrounding our valley, he looked with perked ears for cattle. That’s what Snort does for a living. Those ears worked back and forth like radar, searching through trees and behind logs for the tell-tale movement or color of range cattle.
This week at Lamar Theatre.

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.
