[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 201708, member: 412"] State of MT seems to have no problem with public land access being completely blocked by private land. They're going to buy 10's of thousands of acres, and block access to 100's of thousands of acres. One of the board members states that her and her husband's dream is to see a 10,000 animal herd of free-ranging wild buffalo. THAT has Ted Turner written all over it. I have seen TT buffalo herds positioned to keep elk from leaving his land once they arrive. The coulees and canyons leading to the ranches are emptied. The elk come down during the 1st 3-5 days of hunting season. The buffalo herds are then moved to occupy those same travel routes, coulees, and canyons. Essentially privatizing an elk herd without high fences. Exhibit A @ ~1:00 in the afternoon during general elk rifle season: [ATTACH=CONFIG]20308._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]20309._xfImport[/ATTACH] About 1.5Mi above the elk in the 1st pic is a bajillion acres of public land. About .5Mi to the left of the 1st pic is a cedar-filled coulee the elk and deer use as a travel route from the pivot up to the Timothy grass. Once they move the buffalo into the coulee, the elk pretty much stay down on the pivot. Without the buffalo in the coulee, the elk and deer move back and forth daily, mostly on the pivot at night and bedding up in the cedars (on public land) during the day. [/QUOTE]
