It’s not just corner hopping…

See that strip right down the center of this parcel of public land? It’s a railroad track that the Galts at 71 Ranch purchased so the public can’t access the river bottom.

Helicopter in river bottom hunt anyone?

As much as id like to grab the pitchforks for anything the galts do - isnt that still acessible via the north side?

Nope, the Bair ranch block management doesn’t allow crossing into the public land from their property. I managed the block managements around White sulfur for a season and it sounds like Bair ranch could care less but adjacent land owners had their way.

Wow. Gross. Nothing suprises me from that family, ive got good reasons to believe they are behind the new land board policy on landswaps.

It'll be all quiet here though unfortunately, theres a lot of fans of a certain lobbyist thats employed by a fake conservation org, chartered by a member of that family, thats done a lot of lobbying, and not much for "conservation"

I’ve seen episodes of Yellowstone. This is fine.

I think this has been standard operating procedure in Montana for a long time. If Montanans showed as much rage at this as they did for NRs, maybe it would change.

Maybe someone can pole vault across the railroad? I was there several years ago. It was a long walk across BMA pasture to watch a few whitetail does, didn't feel like sitting and waiting for possible bucks to come to the BMA from the river bottom. And ranch employees drove in and hunted the river bottom that was not accessible for walk in access.

Interesting - thats a powerline not a RR.

Ive got no idea, and only questions, why an easement through the state property (retains state ownership) wasnt done in lieu of it getting into private hands with the sole purpose of restricting access.

Type 2 BMA might as well be a no-trespassing sign in my experience
