Myself, I think it's pretty cool as long as they don't mess any feeders or equipment up.

Rumor is They got out of a HF place during the White Hat fire of 2011 west of Blackwell. Heard they’ve been seen but never seen photo confirmation.
Why didn’t you light one up?

Never even crossed my mind. Cool animals for sure but no desire to shoot one.

Why didn’t you light one up? Yup. I think they actually came off the Dbar ranch. I remember my cousin working on that ranch when I would spend summers in Blackwell and they had zebras on their ranch. I have had several on camera around the water trough in my area but never seen them in person!

If they are as clever as people say they are, they’d better stay down on your lease bc if they make it up to mine, they are gonna end up as rugs.

They would be rugs if I saw them also.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Thats neat. I'd have a hard time deciding whether or not to shoot one if they show'd up out of the blue. Now if I knew they were around and more than a few I'd pop the 1st one I got a shot at and turn it into sausage....

I hear they are good eating That’s what I’ve heard. I would have had to find out, for myself. Pretty wild thing to see, I bet, when you aren’t expecting it.

We have a small place north of Leakey. We had one that would hang out at camp. Not sure what happened to it. I wouldn't let anyone shoot it. It was darn near tame.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

Killing a Zebra ranks right up there with killing a Donkey for me. Heck they can even breed with each other. Never heard anyone talk about how great a Donkey taste and I'm sure those stripes don't add any extra flavor. LOL! It's a trophy for a lot of people, I get that. It's just not for me. I enjoyed the heck out of watching them at such a close distance and would love to see them again. I kept looking for a pride of Lions and listening for the distant sound of a bull elephant but pretty sure I was on the wrong continent just like these 2 Zebras.

I would trap them and sell them personally. I wouldn't have any desire to shoot one unless someone wanted them gone for some reason.
