A herd of 10 mule deer race into the aspens at the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek.

A small herd of antelope bucks rests next to a water hole. Females stand off by themselves, preparing to give birth. Hundreds of mustangs of all colors can be spotted in thundering herds...


...Not just big animals can be seen from the air. A badger pokes his tail out of a hole. A bald eagle flaps its wings, showing off its long white feathers. A flock of sage grouse take off in flight.
You think something scared from their natural behavior!

Sounds like animal harassment and an act of desecration of nature!

They probably homesteaded the land for free or bought it nearly free
during the dust bowl era!

One of my arguments against the homesteading act! It should have had a clause stating that if the lands are used in a agricultural manner, as intended, the deed reverts back to public ownership and not some housing development!

Sadly, they should be donating it to the Nature Conservancy and take the tax deduction!
