Another aspect of this.......are you sure this was owned land by rancher? A lot of them pass of BLM land as part of thier property.....hence leased graizing takes place .....I hunted on a guy over by Parachute about 20 years ago that pulled this. As it turned out, acreage I hunted was actually govt land that I could have accessed on my own....was a drop camp! My fault for taking the guy for face value.
