How do I get to hunt on the Floyd Lee Ranch, NM
cold dead hands

Do you think FlyingBrass is still curious about it 15 years later?He leases out stay on land for ranching but charges hunters to hunt the elk on it. This is illegal according to New Mexico State game wardens he has already been warned to cease all activity.
I watched that Youtube vid just today. Bullies.....but at least everyone that has watched that video and wants to hunt elk on that 300+acre parcel has the knowledge of what to say now. BS that an outfitter/owner would think no one would catch on to that. Everyone knows you can't lease hunting rights on public land.Probably not but according to the latest video just posted, the Ranch "leases the public land for hunting" around him too.
No you can’t. The State Land Board can but an individual can not lease any public land.You can in Colorado
Correct, through the state land board.Yes you can you can lease the recreational rights or agriculture rights on state of Colorado land recreational rights include hunting. I know multiple individuals that have state ground leased here for the recreational rights
No I said “you can’t” the state can lease it but you can’t. You can be the Lessee though.An individual can lease the rights which you said cannot be done
True! It pisses me off every single time I hunt around North Mountain!True. Regardless an individual can have the hunting rights to state ground here in Colorado thus making it private land. FYI if you get caught on leased state ground here you will be charged with trespassing
Can you ski for free at forest service permitted ski areas?This sounds unfair and completely makes a property NOT "public land". So it is public but the public cannot recreate on it because it has been leased to one specific entity. The public has no legal opportunity to enjoy said land? This baffles me....
jeez.....that sounds like funYes! You pay to use the ski lift and amenities. Not the ski area. You are free to hike up and ski to your hearts content.

These areas are not really public land. They are state owned and I believe are to support schools. So they are leased to bring in annual revenues. Very few that I have seen have public accessThis sounds unfair and completely makes a property NOT "public land".

The answer is no because I don't ski...Can you ski for free at forest service permitted ski areas?
@flyingbrass well?Do you think FlyingBrass is still curious about it 15 years later?
Since when did the Double H start having elk hunts other than the owners? Thought they only take a bull or two off of their every year.Why would you want to pay that much money to hunt the Floyd Lee? Very seldom did they kill a bull over 300. You can buy a Gila archery tag and hire a good guide and kill something big for the same price. If you want go private save $2,000 more and hunt the double H with Ross Johnson and maybe kill a 350 or better.
Shoot I see this is from 2007. Not relevant today for the Double H I'm guessingWhy would you want to pay that much money to hunt the Floyd Lee? Very seldom did they kill a bull over 300.

They've recently opened up several State Trust properties and made them available for public hunting. They promoted this the last few years to kind of beat their chest about how Colorado is opening up more areas to recreate. However when you look at the properties they opened, most were in the Southeastern part of the State and I'm guessing they didn't general much revenue. The good ST lands for big game hunting brings in good revenue for the schools, thus I'd highly doubt they ever turn these back to public lands. I believe there's also some kind of "fee" required to recreate on these lands if you don't have a hunting tag. Many freeloaders were complaining about this saying it's public land thus they shouldn't have to pay. So it seems the State tries to make up for any lost lease revenue by charging a "fee" to use these lands. This is all from my recollection that I read about over a year ago so some of this might be slightly different.These areas are not really public land.

He just hasn't tried to bully the wrong person yet......I watched that Youtube vid just today.
