    Ranching Subsidies ProPublica Article

    Thanks for this. I am learning. I don't know much about the details of how these leases are managed, but I have read multiple reports of ranchers getting away with murdering the land because their legislators will pound on desks and doors of the 'GD Feds' until the feds give up. Those 'GD...

    Ranching Subsidies ProPublica Article

    I didn't read it like that, so perhaps you are being overly defensive, but your perspective is real. I ask this plainly - are you sure "your people" own the land they are on? I grew up in farm country and didn't realize for decades that the farmers didn't own much of the land they worked...

    Ranching Subsidies ProPublica Article

    That's a good point. I was mostly expressing my frustration and I typed without really thinking, but I suspect there are people (the huge percentage of Americans that will never see or care about rangelands) who would see it that way (housing as a better use than desertified pasture).

    How are they not needed? You own this land we are talking about. You don't want someone to take a look at it every ten years to see if the lessees are abusing it?

    Ranching Subsidies ProPublica Article

    Seems like the best thing that could (or could have) happened is that the rules are changed so that the permits are not renewed unless there is an ecological assessment done. That would keep the ranchers and billionaire absentee landowners honest, maintain range health, and keep the BLM/USFS...

    Colorado's ousted CPW Director is taking his Circus to Wyoming

    <sarcasm> But I thought Polis was going to keep him on as a special assistant...lol. Lies, lies, and more lies. I hate the BS, but for his sake, I almost hope he can keep getting paid by CO while he's working in WY.

    Mysterious Tent Shanking

    Unfollowing. Apparently it's an inside joke that is too clever to share.

    Mysterious Tent Shanking

    I still don't get it. Are you using "shanking" to indicate that someone intentionally cut the tent in pieces? If so, I assume it's not the original owners, but someone who saw the tent had been there a while and rather than trying to unzip the door, they just cut their way in to see if there...

    Idaho MOVI detection

    Any domestic sheep around there? Or did it just materialize out of thin air?

    Floating an idea, don't kill the messenger

    I worked with the USFS, local water district, and several non-profits on how to upgrade or even just maintain a popular river section south of Denver. A few decades ago, it was basically only accessed by fishermen, but now it is popular with hikers, dog-walkers, picnickers, etc. The parking...
