All of it: the words, the place, the proof
The escape terrain (steep rock desert bighorn sheep use because predators cannot follow) above the public access area at Elephant Mountain WMA has not had a recent stand off record of its sightline structure and any dense brush at its base that could screen a predator's approach.
Offer to pay $90. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This work never climbs, scrambles onto, or otherwise works on escape terrain, the steep rock desert bighorn sheep use specifically because predators cannot follow; every observation here is made from the public road, a designated pull-off, or the WMA's public access area, using binoculars or a spotting scope, never on foot on the terrain itself. This work never approaches, follows, herds, or photographs bighorn sheep at close range, and never uses a drone; if bighorn are visibly using a water source, withdraw immediately and do not begin or continue any work there while they are present. No water source (guzzler) or lambing area coordinate, or any landscape detail that would identify one, is recorded, photographed, or otherwise disclosed in this work; the location on file for this job is always the WMA headquarters or public access point, never the water source or lambing area itself. Aoudad (Barbary sheep) management here is observation of competition indicators only; this work never authors culling, hunting, trapping, or any animal handling at any skill level. Rattlesnakes are common in this desert terrain; watch foot and hand placement around rock, brush, and woodpiles at all times, and give any snake a wide path. This is extreme Trans-Pecos Chihuahuan Desert terrain with no shade, no dependable water, and long distances from help; work only in early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat, carry far more water than you think you need, tell someone your planned route and return time before starting, and carry a way to call for help since cell service is unreliable in this remote country. Check the WMA's current permit-based seasonal public access rules and active hunt schedule before visiting, and wear blaze orange during an active hunting season.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. From the public road, a designated pull-off, or the WMA's public access area only, use binoculars or a spotting scope to observe the escape terrain (steep rock) above and note where dense brush at its base could screen a predator's approach. This work never climbs, scrambles onto, or otherwise works on escape terrain, the steep rock desert bighorn sheep use specifically because predators cannot follow; every observation here is made from the public road, a designated pull-off, or the WMA's public access area, using binoculars or a spotting scope, never on foot on the terrain itself.
- 2. Photograph the terrain and brush structure from the public vantage, without approaching or climbing.
- 3. Watch for bighorn using the terrain while observing, and never approach, follow, or photograph them at close range. This work never approaches, follows, herds, or photographs bighorn sheep at close range, and never uses a drone; if bighorn are visibly using a water source, withdraw immediately and do not begin or continue any work there while they are present.
- 4. Record a ranked follow on note naming the apron area for a predator concealment brush clearing crew. Check the WMA's current permit-based seasonal public access rules and active hunt schedule before visiting, and wear blaze orange during an active hunting season.
What counts as done
- Photo of the escape terrain and its base brush taken from the public road, pull-off, or WMA public access area
- Note of sightline structure and any dense brush observed at the terrain base
- Confirmation that this job never climbed, scrambled onto, or otherwise worked on escape terrain, and that all observation was made from the public road, a designated pull-off, or the WMA's public access area using optics; that no bighorn sheep was approached, followed, herded, or photographed at close range, and no drone was used; that if bighorn were visibly present at a water source the crew withdrew and did not work there while animals were present; that no water source or lambing area coordinate or identifying detail was recorded or disclosed, and the location on file is the WMA headquarters or a public access point; that no aoudad was culled, hunted, trapped, or handled at any skill level; and that current WMA permit-based access rules and the hunt schedule were checked before starting, with blaze orange worn in season.
- Ranked follow on note naming the apron area for a predator concealment brush clearing crew
- GPS waypoint of the public vantage, never the terrain itself
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
