Graze where you want, it won't bother the elk, I know that, but when the herders are riding horses through the woods yelling with no livestock in sight, that I have an issue with. If you want to talk out of state hunters, look up buffalo county Wi. I live smack dab in the middle of nonresident hunter central. you comment on taxes and schools and roads. These guys around hear, come in, buy land for twice the value, enroll it in managed forest crop which drops taxes to roughly $2.00 an acre then run back to there big city and laugh when our taxes go up because there raising land values and paying only 10% of the taxes. I go to co.to get away from the bs. Hunting here is a business and it sucks. I want to be able to take my kids somewhere and enjoy nature and wildlife, unfortunatly i haven't found that yet. and from reading other posts and talking with other hunters I am not the only who feels the way I do.
If the ranch hands are truly harassing wildlife then turn them in to the DOW. Maybe nothing happens but there needs to be some consquences.

If you think you are the only one affected by well financed NR hunters think again. Out here on the Prairie they come in and buy up huge places and then attempt to even block access to public lands. Places I hunted on as a kid are now locked up and only the NR gets access to those lands.

I cannot believe though that with the millions of acres of public lands you cannot find a place to hunt and recreate. I know I can still find solitude on public lands when I am hunting.


If "your" spot is messed up look for a different on. Grazing is not going to go away and if the Co. DOW allows game harassment neither is your situation.
