[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 201694, member: 412"] Here's my take simply by looking at their map and not reading anything else on their site: APP is buying some of the least expensive $/Acre land in the country in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country. I predict their goal is twofold. 1. Obtain as much land as they are able to while remaining "under the radar" because there aren't enough people who live/visit the area to get the word out. 2. Use that land to establish precedence favorable to their goals, again because there isn't enough local population or $$ to oppose them. Knowing a little bit about the area they're in, the APP is buying private islands in an ocean of public land. That doesn't sound bad, but, those private islands often contain the only access roads to 10's of thousands of acres of public. Looks to me like based on their map and just a little bit of looking, they could easily shut off access to ~50mi worth of the CMR from the North. Access to where the Musselshell dumps into the Missouri could also be denied as the only road down to the lake comes in from the West across ground they currently own and/or lease. Introduce a few Brucellosis carrying Bison to the area, ranchers can't sell their cattle, lots more land gets even cheaper. I'll pass on donating to them. [/QUOTE]
