Wild! Where were they from?

I thought the pic may have been Antelope Island judging by the genetics.

Unbelievable.

You guys had it made, I cant imagine between that, Salton Sea and everything else. Must have been a dream.

Dude...don't forget Catalina and Santa cruz islands...pigs..sheep and goats for days...it really was a cool time with copious amounts of dead mammals coming home on the boat...incredible actually .

Yep Adam...And no frigging points, lead shells, and a $65.00 bounty on mountain lions...Just buy the appropriate tag and hunt wherever you wanted..........

How quickly it all went away. Just wait another 20 (or 10 or 5) years…
“Wow, you guys actually had a Bill of Rights?”
