[QUOTE="deleted user, post: 248267, member: 1778"] Montana’s tide is turning after similar issues. Block management was born out of a compromise between ranchers and sportsmen. Now things are in the works to pass laws opening landlocked public land. Ranchers have been gating forest service roads and fencing BLM land. It didn’t take long for outdoorsman to organize against that behavior. I know most ranchers are great people but since their organizations have such an all-or-nothing way of operating, we almost have to be the same way. If this becomes law, then public land being worked / grazed should absolutely not be posted. Walking access should be granted to landlocked public land. The century code pertaining to no net gain of public land should be erased. The farm bureau and the like should not be controlling our state. We have a pitiful amount of public land as it is. I love it when ranchers and sportsmen work together, like what MDF does with plots. We offer some elbow grease helping out with fencing and such, they let people take a few birds / critters off their land. I really do hate seeing the divide grow wider. [/QUOTE]
