#

Oh bless.

#

Our foutain is in the hall, where the dog bowls are and last night they drank it down just enough that it was making trickling sounds and I tried to ignore it

#

But after ten minutes I was ADHD laserfocus on the sound

#

So I had to get up and fix it

#

Which is fine but. Im gonna be judging this fountain on your personal review and then lobby hubs for it haha

past bison
#

And like I am very sensitive to sounds

#

I don’t listen to radio or music or have tv on at home unless I am actively watching it

#

Like it’s dead quiet

so far the fact that

  • its relatively quiet
  • not constantly running (unless approached)
  • RUBBER FEETS, BLESS. AINT MOVIN.
  • size of water reservoir
  • M e t a l

all in favor

# obsidian bay How was it as far as setup goes?

I can take a pic but the stainless steel lid detatches from the plastic lid and the filter goes in it. Very easy to just yoink and replace. Additionally they have a little sponge filter in the thingy that runs the water but that’s very easy to just pull out and replace when needed. It comes with three filters for both so two backups and rather cheap to get more from amazon. Also I ordered it from amazon because it was cheaper to ship here from there than website

#

If I had a larger dog I’d get a big fountain

#

Based on the size of our planned future dog she’ll be able to share with Nami lmao

obsidian bay
#

Idk if I wanna ask for the 7L or stick with the 3.5L
I dont mind refilling frequently, and I really like the look of the 3.5 compared to the 7

#

like its nice

#

and the gooseneck means it's going to be clean all the time

past bison
#

Also I imagine the smaller one is easier to wash

obsidian bay
#

Yep

#

though, if I were to guess, this is just gonna be 'taller' so not like.. all that hard int he end

past bison
#

Truee

obsidian bay
#

Looks like its meant to last 14 days
but honestly both cat and dog share the fountain so I would guess a week lmao

#

and I think the catit we have.. its a 2L?

#

and I'm filling it like 2x a week

#

And Keeonah is already used to the tiny spout of the Catit, so I dont think swapping to the 3.5L would be too hard

#

And I dont think Ansel would like the dribble of the gooseneck that the 7L would cause? Like.. TOO much motion

the rationalization process is real

past bison
past bison
#

I thought of keeping the catit for when Nami goes to bf’s parents to be babysat but tbh the new one is so much more simple and nice I’ll just grab that one lmao

Also I swap the Catit filter 1x a month 🫣
but I also am gently rinsing it free of debris while cleaning the main chamber

I had a dream last night, where there was a new map to COTW but there were no leaks of it, so it was super unexpected. The map was mostly shallow water, with few trees and bushes. The only flora could be found in small rocky towers that had light coming from them. I kept hunting on that map, and then I found something. A giant hole in the shallow water, and it led down a large spiral staircase that looked like an abandoned apartment building. I heard what sounded like a European badger mating call, but it was actually a ‘Melanistic Call’ whatever that means. I found the European badger, and it slowly turned into the wild haggis. I ran away from there, and found 10 glitched white tails (the ones that can’t move). I killed them all in one single shot, and I got an Xbox notification that I ‘ranked up to g1 in COTW’

she couldn't have him in the campus bird enclosure because it was owl brancher season
aka: fledglings learn how to bird.. but because their parents make nests in the top of palm trees, they can'T easily make it back up, so the campus houses them until they fledge out fully, learn how to fly and are set back in the wild.

As we were saying

manic inlet
#

in order to even get a mtn lion tag/license

#

you have to take an aptitude test

#

if you get less than 80% on it you dont get the license cause its considered a fail

#

have to know all laws pertaining to them as well as determination of sex

#

in addition, unlike AZ, we actually regulate hound hunting them

#

no more than 7 dogs in a pack and the owner/hunter must be present for release as well as walk with the dogs

#

any damage to nontarget wildlife is a fineable offense

serene radish
#

I always forget people hunt mountain lions with hounds on occasion

manic inlet
#

multiple often results in jailtime and confiscation of dogs

#

BUT THERES MORE

serene radish
#

Oh no

manic inlet
# serene radish Oh no

mtn lions in Colorado, unlike basically every mtn west state are considered a big game animal

#

so, if you dont take the backstraps, tenderloins, and all 4 quarters

#

its wanton waste and CPW comes to air strike your house

#

figuratively speaking but they may as well considering its like 55,000 dollar fine and 5 yrs or more in prison

#

possible lifetime hunting ban that can be made reciprocal with all 50 states

manic inlet
serene radish
#

It only goes down from here

manic inlet
#

and you must also take the pelt and head for inspection, determination of sex, etc and validation as a legally held item and proper recording, including taking a premolar for cementum aging to determine the cat's age

serene radish
#

I like theres this whole process over there but here its just yeah if you injure, sell or have one you get in trouble

manic inlet
#

iirc last estimation from CPW was close to 5500 adult cats in the state rapidly expanding east

#

might hit 10,000 adults in the state with complete land coverage across the whole of Colorado by 2040 or earlier

#

which is rapid for a big cat

serene radish
manic inlet
serene radish
manic inlet
#

so the state specifically CPW gets revenue from test fees and license sales as well as prevent expenditure from depredation

manic inlet
serene radish
#

Its really cool learning about other states and their whole deal with hunting laws and allat

manic inlet
#

if Cali adopted it they could simultaneously prevent the grey/black market surrounding pelts while saving money by preventing the need for officers/biologists to cull problem cats

#

and also unironically reduce traffic accidents

#

considering how many mtn lions get hit by cars in Cali

manic inlet
#

and then there's montana

#

which is just

#

sad

#

its sad

serene radish
manic inlet
#

and it being difficult auto cuts out the idiots who are lazy shirkers

serene radish
#

The thing with cali its just a toss up what they allow and dont allow

manic inlet
#

its basically a self regulating loop

serene radish
#

At least this year they opened up mute swan hunting so

manic inlet
serene radish
#

Its a step in the right direction

manic inlet
#

which makes it the only of three states aside from NJ and South Carolina iirc

#

which is

#

a wild mixture

manic inlet
serene radish
#

Being huat

manic inlet
#

so in about 3 years they went from 72,000 adults to

#

per last estimate'

#

90 to 95 thousand

#

still growing rapidly

serene radish
#

Always wonderful to hear a species bouncing back and recovering

manic inlet
#

now being the largest its ever been at 312,000 adult animals

#

also making it not just the largest herd in the US but on the continent

serene radish
#

Good lord

manic inlet
#

and theyre expanding eastward to reclaim the remains of the wild country on the front range and prairie

#

so at current expansion assuming no more catastrophic winterkill these next 15 years

#

we'll be at half a million elk this state alone

#

which, if Montana and Wyoming cant figure out their management

#

will be like two thirds of all RME in the country

#

with most of the remainder being in California and Washington

#

for context Montana's herd is struggling

#

sub-20 calf to cow ratio for 7+ years now

serene radish
#

Its kinda crazy a state can say they have 3 subspecies of elk one of them being endemic to the state

manic inlet
#

calf recruitment, being proportional survival of a given year's calves to reach yearling status, of sub 4% for 8 years

serene radish
#

Huge flex imo

#

Wow

manic inlet
#

breh

serene radish
#

How convenient

#

At least you are here to take care of it

manic inlet
manic inlet
serene radish
#

I never really looked into other state's elk populations now this conversation got me intrigued to dig around

manic inlet
#

Colorado because ours are so well managed and theres so many

#

NM because theres are also well managed but also regularly produce world class bulls

#

and Cali for the epic conservation success of rewilding all 3 subspecies and saving their endemic one

#

Montana however cannot brag

#

really any elk state can brag except montana

#

theyve all got smth

#

but Montana

serene radish
#

Oh montana..

manic inlet
#

omg montana

manic inlet
#

which is....

#

high

#

calf recruitment and cow/calf ratio toileted like i said

#

but theres more

#

and its worse

#

cause they have 140,000 animals, less than half the CO herd

serene radish
manic inlet
#

consider that

#

half as many elk overall

#

fewer proportionally also by nearly half accounting for ratios

#

and whats more?

#

no separated seasons for rifle

#

rifle for elk in MT in one big 8 week block of constant pressure

manic inlet
# serene radish Jeez..

i think some units start their late the day after so its 12 weeks total of nonstop hunting pressure

#

now block seasons can work if theyre done right

#

Wyoming does a block season for rifle

#

but its like 25 days

#

and then theres nothing aside from private tags for like a month

#

then youve got winter cow

#

so it doesnt spook the hell out of em

#

its still not optimal

manic inlet
#

and most activity is opening weekend plus that monday

#

so 1st rifle is like 7 days on

#

then like I think 5 days til 2nd

#

2nd is 6 days on

#

then like a week til 3rd

#

3rd is 5 days

#

then 3 or 4 days later is 4th

#

and then nearly 2 to 4 weeks after 4th is late private land rifle

#

means the elk never get pressured off of public land completely

#

unlike in MT

#

it also keeps them healthier cause less stress

manic inlet
# serene radish Jeez..

in fact MT's horrible calf recruitment and pregnancy rates may be because the block season is stressing cows into miscarrying barely a month into the pregnancy term

#

again, there's such a thing as too much time in the season and too many tags

#

and their deer management is just

#

just shoot me

serene radish
manic inlet
#

if theres not many people hunting out there

#

a good example this is plains rifle

#

which is 2.5 to 3 weeks in a block in CO

serene radish
#

Depending on the zone and subspecies you are going after
It can range from mid to late September all the way through October sometimes in November

manic inlet
#

the units it covers usually barely issue 150 tags

#

most of them less than 45

#

GMU 87 just north of me only issues 45 combined for buck and doe for the whole season

#

so long season works cause not many hunters

serene radish
#

Last year some elk and deer came back with signs of CWD

manic inlet
#

although lower ratios make sense cause yall are overflowing with mtn lions

#

their stomach acid and protein enzymes actually break down the prion

serene radish
manic inlet
#

and their absence is likely why CWD is such a huge problem in the midwest

#

cause no big cats

#

well theyve got bobcats but

#

yknow

#

they can only do much and they prefer rabbits so

serene radish
#

Literally the only threat to the elk here are pumas and occasionally black bear

manic inlet
manic inlet
#

its not by much but there is less

serene radish
manic inlet
serene radish
#

Most of the time its just habitat loss

serene radish
#

Cali has ALOT of agriculture

manic inlet
serene radish
#

Grapes, almonds, oranges and avocados

manic inlet
#

often to the uh, detriment of the water table

serene radish
#

Not to mention the amount of sheep and cattle farming

manic inlet
serene radish
#

ESPECIALLY cattle central Cali is loaded with dairies

manic inlet
#

in the phoenix basin

#

yknow the 4th hottest area in this hemisphere

#

2nd hottest on the continent

#

4 driest in this hemispher after the mojave desert, death valley, and atacam desert in that order

serene radish
#

There's just too much for mountain lions to really boost their numbers

manic inlet
serene radish
manic inlet
#

big oof

serene radish
#

Yeah..

manic inlet
# serene radish Yeah..

were having issues with that on the front range too cause urban development basically bans skyscrapers in most of the cities

#

honestly I think if a city reaches 180,000 people it should be required to start reconstructing for higher density housing to reduce sprawl and walkability to remove the requirement for cars

serene radish
#

Raccoons and foxes especially benefit from it though

Kit foxes here especially have become a little too comfortable

manic inlet
#

theyre on the prairie that is mostly just

#

CO is the only US state and/or Canadian province that can claim that actually

#

theyre still recovering everywhere else

manic inlet
#

and also prevented human/wildlife conflict with them including by relocation and education

#

was fees from furbearer permits and income/sales tax on their pelts and pelts from other furbearers

#

i find it neat that CO some how managed to make trapping sustainable in such a massive way

serene radish
#

How ironic

manic inlet
#

that it basically brought back a fox from the damn dead

manic inlet
#

and helped support our rewilding of beaver and mink decades ago

serene radish
#

At least its going into a good cause

manic inlet
#

and ofc coyotes but

#

theyre survivors they refuse to die

#

so that sorta just comes with the real estate

serene radish
manic inlet
serene radish
#

To be honest they arent wrong.

manic inlet
#

which is partly why theyre still trapped for jacket liners and boot fringe

serene radish
manic inlet
#

that and so many are taken as nuisance animals that many farmers and ranchers just

#

pay some trapper to come to their operation and take a few on a foothold line

manic inlet
manic inlet
#

this is partly the issue

#

itd drive many trappers away from trapping and cause more human/wildlife conflict, namely with infrastructure threatening species like muskrat

#

on top of kinda gutting a huge portion of the state's economic revenue from garments

#

and reducing the very funding that we need to keep small mammals safe

#

not to mention that itd halfway strangle taxidermists and destroy many people's way of life

#

and also unironically open up a black market trapping window in CO

manic inlet
#

will unironically corruption

#

because two of the commision board members who voted in favor of the ban petition

#

are former employees of the filing organization that pushed it to them

#

which uh

#

well

#

suboptimal

#

manic inlet
# serene radish Yikes and a half.

the other 4 are in some way affiliated directly or indirectly and all 6 have scandal for being selected out of the blue despite being less qualified than other options and the only thing they all had in common as appointees is they were associates and friends of the governor's husband which raised a lot of people eyebrows that an unelected spouse has more power over our wildlife management than the direct of CPW itself
