Getting ready to leave to xxxx, Wyoming to go chase speed goats. Got some great advice, some good hints, some permission, some access, etc....
Though, not being satisfied on this new area for antelope, I am still trying to get information via long distance.
And, one of the things I am not sure about is where we will camp. So, I figured I would call up the BLM field office and get some more information. To date, all my contact has been with Forest Service, State of Wyoming, and a bit of private contact.
So, I called the Bureau of Livestock and Mining (BLM) to seek a map
I was trying to find a map of the Bureau of Livestock and Mining (BLM) BLM lands, so that I could enjoy MY Public Lands. Unfortunately, I could not find a map on their website to eventually find a place to camp, and, perhaps, hunt.
So, I called the Secret Town field office which adminsters the BLM lands in Rolling Hills County. I asked the lady that answered the phone if there was a map on the website. She said there was not, but I could call the Cheyenne office and order a map from the BLM there.
I then asked where the BLM lands lie in Rolling Hills County. She said "all over". I said great, which part of the county, east, west, north, south? I asked if there was good places to camp. She said "Oh, no.... most of the BLM land is locked out by ranchers. You really can't use BLM lands here".
Seems like MY Public Lands are for private use only by Welfare Ranchers....
I am guessing that I will follow the old adage of "If you find a gate closed, leave it open. If you find a gate open, close it".
