Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 148570" data-attributes="member: 373">Nor do you get the option to opt out of the contract if the govt makes changes. Back when the USF&W under Loyd Jones was trying to implement their big prairie grasslands project of a few million acres, it took a bit but at one of their public meetings I got Loyd Jones to admit the govt maintains the right to change/restrict these easements ANY way they wish and the land owner has NO recourse. Earlier in the presentation he had spoke to how many people in seed corn caps had been in the office wanting to sign land up trying to indicated it had support from ag producers. When I asked if these people were being told what had been drug out of him that he had admitted to he got real quiet and changed the subject. When I pressured him his response was it was up to the person putting the land into the easement to understand the easement. ..........How anyone thinks a perpetual easement with those kind of terms in is good is beyond me. Stop and think what these govt orgs may be pressured or more likely sued to change 50 years down the road. People that claim these type easements are great becasue they create habitat ect of sportsmen are pretty short sighted and don;t understand the facts of what is happening now with things like the Equal Justice Act when groups like the Center for Biological Diversity are using tax payer dollars to sue these agencies to change how they manage the lands and agreements. Often time even if those within the agency itself disagree they have choice as a judge makes a ruling. I would like to protect the future of hunting in a more responsible way that will not potentially lose the control of how these lands are managed to groups with agendas to end hunting.</blockquote>
