They are claiming 50 acres not 50 feet. and it blocked access to public land. Was it always posted for yrs/decades or was it newly posted? This wouldn’t be the 1st time a rancher renting grassland tried to claim it as their own to keep hunters off. There is more to this story than that video shows.

Here is a screenshot from ONX for some perspective. From what I understand from reading articles and such is that it is that farmed area that is in the light green of what is the Buffalo Gap national Grasslands. This should never have been Criminal. Its not like you can take the land area and move it. Its basically a use issue with no use agreement in my view. If Onx is correct, which you actually can use it in your defense in a trespassing case., The hunter would have been perfectly fine hunting that portion of land located on the national grasslands. The fence line runs on the riverside of the farmed ground hard to see in this screenshot but that is the fence line i believe they are talking about. I may be wrong but this is what I have gleaned from my little bit of investigating out of curiosity.

As I am sure many of you have heard by now, the charges against Charles and Heather Maude have been dropped. The Maudes – South Dakota ranchers who were both facing federal indictments over a fence line dispute with the U.S. Forest Service – were flown to Washington, D.C. where they were given the chance to say a few words about the situation and express their gratitude for the individuals and organizations who helped them reach this moment. Together with their two children, the Maudes were visibly overcome with emotion as they stood alongside Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins; Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem; South Dakota Governor, Larry Rhoden; Senators Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY); and Representatives Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and Harriet Hageman (R-WY).

In speaking with Heather’s mother and father a few weeks ago ahead of what was scheduled to be an April trial date, I’ve gathered that this last year has been nothing short of a whirlwind of a year for the entire family. I can believe it. Especially when you consider the vast escalation of events last year, when the Maudes went from welcoming U.S. Forest Service personnel into their homes and discussing plans to civilly resolve the issue via land survey to Special Agent Lunders showing up in tactical gear and serving them separate, federal charges. This was not only traumatizing to their children, but it also served as a BLARING alarm bell for the power-hungry nature of unelected bureaucrats like Special Agent Lunders.

There should be repercussions for Lunders and every other individual who escalated this minor molehill into a Kilimanjaro-sized mountain.

On the flipside, to say that I am proud of the Maude family is an understatement. What an example of the Western spirit – you don’t give up, ever.


As part of the announcement that their charges were being dropped, Secretary Rollins announced that USDA would be launching a new online portal for “potential victims of ongoing lawfare originating under the Biden Administration to submit their concerns and experiences.” The website is now live and can be found at https://www.usda.gov/lawfare.

“President Trump is directing his cabinet to ensure no citizen of this country is unfairly targeted on politically motivated witch hunts. That is what happened to the Maudes, and I am working to ensure no farmer, rancher, or customer who works with USDA will ever endure baseless political persecution,” Rollins said.

Protect and serve is mostly gone. Its stalk and harass and who can put the biggest feather in their hat these days. Its sad foresure..everything inhave read on it is the family was more then willing to try and figure out the correct property line but the govt was more interrested in charging people. The real sad part is this would have kept going if a different person was in office.
