"I seem to have dashavoo,all over again".
Why is it there is always a guy that feels they should cuss all the ranchers, but is upset when ranchers cuss slob hunters? Just asking.
I manage a ranch, we are in two parts, my house sits on 7000, DEEDED acres. (That means owned by the ranch)
4 miles of gravel from the highway,(maintained by the ranch)
6 culverts (purchased and installed by the ranch)
8 pivots in production.(also paid for by the ranch)
I could go on for pages, but I'll get to the point.
Where in any of that have we as a ranch lost the right to say who is welcome and who is not?????
As for a reason any jack wad can't hunt here, don't need one, it's PRIVATE PROPERTY.
The other part of our ranch is 64,000 acres.
Some Deeded, some BLM. The ranch pays for grazing rights, maintains the roads, maintains the water, controls weeds,maintains fences. All at ranch expense.
Any jack wad is welcome to hunt the blm ground, that is public land, there is plenty of it.
Our deeded ground we allow "hunting with permission only".
So who is getting hosed, and who is getting the "FREEPASS".
The rancher that has spent all the money, or the jackwad that hunts on "Public ground"?
Funniest thing about this post is that there are guys on "PM", and specifically this post,that have hunted both of of ranches, they also seem to be the guys that are respectful, and I would consider good house guest.
Bullwhip, It's sad that you got a boneon for ranchers, your welcome to come out here and meet some in person.Might change your perspective. Duane
