harvest of the herd for the Bay Y

"Shooting one of these ani
mals amounts to grand theft." he
added "If somebody wanted to
do something like that, they'd
have to contact me They would
•p^ve to pay for the privilege of
aging that, and then salvage the
animal,”

private property and that it’s
against the law Then she hung
up "
