My cousin died a few years after this so we left dad behind because he had to work & mom, sis & I took a Greyhound to the funeral in San Bernardino.
Got back to Utah 3-4 days later.
Dad was sick.
Mom had left food for him, but all the junk-ice cream, cake, etc, was eaten.

Like I said. Mom didn't trust dad to take care of himself

State-funded BYU study finds elk move when hunting season starts — and it's causing problems
By Todd Hollingshead, February 16, 2022


Animals in the wild are often smarter than we give them credit for. This time it’s the elk.

Research from BYU wildlife sciences professors finds that when hunting season starts, elk in Utah move off of public lands — where they can be hunted — and onto private lands — where they cannot be hunted. And then, when hunting season is over, they shift right back to public lands.

The state-funded study found elk’s use of public land decreased by over 30% by the middle of rifle season. “It’s crazy; on the opening day of the hunt, they move, and on the closing day they move back,” said study senior author and BYU professor Brock McMillan. “It’s almost like they’re thinking, ‘Oh, all these trucks are coming, it’s opening day, better move.”

“They understand death,” added co-author and fellow BYU professor Randy Larsen. “They get it; they’ve figured it out.”

While this is fascinating animal behavior, it’s actually quite problematic for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. That’s because dense elk populations can be harmful to habitats throughout the state, even disrupting farming operations as they are prone to steal food from livestock grazing on private lands and cause damage to farming infrastructure. In fact, they’re so disruptive that the state is bound by law to manage elk populations.

“The state had been getting complaints on both sides of the issue with elk migrating to private lands,” Larsen said. “One side says there are not enough elk to hunt — ‘Why are you issuing permits?’ — while private owners are saying ‘The elk are eating us out of house and home!’”

really? I'd guess they've had the same abilities for eons. We just notice it more now with OUR population increases.

Simple solution, let them hunt on peoples' private lands

Back in the day, when people were hunting for hunger's sake..........they'd often get together in large groups and 'drive' the deer into the path of fellow hunters, too. That was an evolutionary trick early hunters had picked up.

Private land owners have the right to invite them, don't they?

Capitalism
The private land owners can charge the hunters $10@ to hunt there.

That's what I'm saying.......... letting do the hunting. Problem solved

in places like Texas and elsewhere there's an open season on feral pigs. They WANT people to kill them all off

I hate alligators. 
Why I will probably never go to Florida 
Pigs are close.
They are fine over there in a pen, but in the wild?

No.

There was talk of radioactive wild hogs in Germany after chernobyl.

I have heard of wild hogs eating people.

Nope.
No way

I know those cute piglet pix are just to lull us into complacency...

Don't forget I lived in an area of Utah where hunters didn't give a fuck if it was private land. We had shells hit the house we were renting all the time. The field across the street was usually planted with corn so pheasant season they were over there shooting first & not at all worried about people

You have to wonder about Florida and letting the full size gators live? How many pets must go missing every year

irradiation is supposed to be good for the food      And they're easier to hunt at night if they're glowing.

Sounds like rude and untrained hunters to me.

Donald Trump sues Hillary Clinton, others over 2016 Russian collusion allegations
Jan Wolfe and Jonathan Stempel
Thu, March 24, 2022,

By Jan Wolfe and Jonathan Stempel

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Donald Trump on Thursday sued his rival in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Hillary Clinton, and several other Democrats, alleging that they tried to rig that election by tying his campaign to Russia.

The lawsuit covers a long list of grievances the Republican former president repeatedly aired during his four years in the White House after beating Clinton, and comes as he continues to falsely claim that his 2020 election defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread fraud

"Acting in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty," the former president alleged in a 108-page lawsuit filed in a federal court in Florida.

The suit alleges "racketeering" and a "conspiracy to commit injurious falsehood," among other claims.

A Clinton representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages. Trump said he was "forced to incur expenses in an amount to be determined at trial, but known to be in excess of twenty-four million dollars ($24,000,000) and continuing to accrue, in the form of defense costs, legal fees, and related expenses."

The defendants in Trump's lawsuit include Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer.

A dossier written by Steele, which was circulated to the FBI and media outlets before the November 2016 election, set out unproven assertions that Russia had embarrassing information about Trump and some of his Republican campaign's advisers and that Moscow was working behind the scenes to defeat Clinton.

A 966-page report issued by a Republican-led U.S. Senate committee in 2020 concluded that Russia used Republican political operative Paul Manafort and the WikiLeaks website to try to help Trump win the 2016 election.

Manafort worked on Trump's presidential campaign for five months in 2016.

Russia’s alleged election interference, which Moscow denies, sparked a two-year-long U.S. investigation headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

In 2019, Mueller released an exhaustive report that detailed numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign but did not charge any Trump associate with a criminal conspiracy.

Mueller said in his report that "the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”

He won.
But he wants the loser to pay?

Getting lawyers to defend oneself from all of that political hoax nonsense wasn't inexpensive.

Heck, it's still ongoing
