http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-atlantic-salmon-20170903-story.html How the heck do fish escape? This type of thing keeps happening. Elk/Red stag cross escaped in Idaho. Deer escape all over the country. People need to get a handle on this before they screw everything up.

The company also initially said that unusually strong currents, triggered by the moon during the solar eclipse, had caused the pen to break open.
Wrong. These accidents are normally caused by two things, stupidity and greed. Mix the two and you have a recipe for disaster.

I heard that the govt spent $4.19 billion (plus $98 dollars left over from the duck penis study) on a joint study with the Sierra Club to find out and global warming from cow farts caused the snow to melt in the mountains causing the ocean to rise and the high water broke the mooring loose on the pen.

Damn greedy ranchers.

Let's remember that the Asian carp came to us via catfish farms. The carp were used to help keep the vegetation in the catfish pens under control and they were released during Missouri/Mississippi river floods.

I, for one, am not a big fan of using foreign species for such purposes.

Lets remember how that "foreign species" of a bird with a ring around it's neck is not only acceptable but pretty popular with sportsmen.

Funny how one never hears plainsman bitching about the pythons in Florida..........guess there is not many high fence python operations around to use under the intent to malign deer and elk operations.

the Asian carp will now takeover CWD as plainsmans go to example in his agenda to ban HF operations

I agree with you Allan. Eventually, there will be an uncontrolled release and the public will be left to deal with it.

As as far as the professional troll is concerned, ringed-necked pheasants aren't destroying ecosystems and pushing native species out of existence. Idiot.

Holy man take a sarcasm pill.

The point here is some "foreign species" do more damage than others. Can you share what red stag/elk crosses and hybrid salmon will do in comparison to Asian Carp in destroying ecosystems and pushing native species out of existence?

I thought people would have gotten that point in the comparison but I guess there is one "idiot" that is more concerned about jumping on people than taking a moment to think.

Please don;t bother starting another barrage of PMs over this.

Stop and think for a moment how many non native species between plants and animals and other things have been "introduced" in this country.

I have pastures full of them. There are fields and orchards full of them. Some pushed native species out and some have not. Some claim they are "destroying eco systems" as well in a push to return us to native prairie and buffalo roaming the commons.

How many have been beneficial to us and how many have not.

Maybe start of by sharing the actual impacts and facts regarding this release may have rather than using it to further a predictable historic agenda against HFH and it would be an interesting topic.

So what happens if farmers keep tiling and causing Devils Lake to flood and it overflows and washes out Tolna Coulee and floods Jamestown and plainsmans Koi he keeps in his backyard swim away into the ecosystem? :;:smokin

The coulee was dug up and had a concrete spillway put in a few years ago to stop just such a release from ripping the plug out.

Atlantic Salmon are not native to Patagonia Chile. But they are pen raised by the hundreds of thousands. Cold water flows down from the Andes into fjords, an excellent site for floating pens. Norwegian investors started the industry in Chile and found a ready consumer in the United States selling it for about $4.84 per pound. It would cost more then that to send a fish home snail mail. How did they do it? Walmart.

PrairieGhost wants to buy cheaper milk from Minnesota, cheaper grain from Canada, doesn't like ranchers and says this salmon faming accident in Washington State is a mix of stupidity and greed. Attention Walmart shoppers, we have falling prices on cheap outsourced out of State out of country food.

Do wake up in the middle of the night with wet undies whilst dreaming of chasing/disrupting PG's threads?

You HAVE to know your neighborhood folks think the same as me.
You are not a well liked person in your neck of the woods!
I know...., I coyote hunting around you.
Drove by your place several times but can't get myself to stop in and say hi?

Now you hurt my feel goods. Some body I have never met on the internet claims to know what my neighbors think becasue he coyote hunts up here. I am pretty comfortable with my neighbors around here. It is funny how people that do not like someone come to their brandings and help, help move and work cows, show up for birthday celebrations, help combine and hay and work together with that person to build great community facilities and events......when they are not liked in their neck of the woods......

Stop in next time you are driving by, who knows maybe by the time you leave you might see what my neighbors that actually know me do.

Oh to your question, can;t recall having a dream about plainsman or these outdoor sites so the answer would be no. Wake up plenty anymore at night........but so far the undies are still dry by the time I get to the pisser.

Besides I got a notice the other morning I have over 400 and some friends on FB most of my neighbors included so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!:D

Say that reminds me of a story about three old fellas in the nursing home bitchin about gettin old.

The first guys says "I hate takin a piss any more. I stand there for ever and nothin comes out and finally I shake it off and start puttin it away and I start pissin. Dribble piss all over my pants"

The second guy says "ya I used to take two shits a day, now I'm lucky if I get one every two days and two days ago I sat there till my legs went to sleep to get done and that damn male nurse had to help me off the shitter. "

The third guys says" I piss every day at 6 AM, Take a big shit at 7 AM..........I just can't wake up before 9 AM any more."

Hey bb, how come you aren;t pickin on fritz, he hammers old plainsman pretty hard too..........must not coyote hunt around his place eh?

Say I think I saw you fellas out south of the place last fall. Guys at the bar the next nite were talkin about this fella that came in and kept sayin over an over."I just couldn;t get on em".
