There is a hotline, it's called the local BLM or Forrest Service office. If you see something that is against the regulations, report it. In the country I'm from, we had a guy who has been running cows on Forrest Service land for over 40 years. He was notorious for not repairing his fences, not keeping his cows off riparians, etc. Finally, last year the Forrest Service said your done, pulled his permitt and said have a nice day, end of story. None of the local ranchers, the Cattlemen's Association, nobody went to bat for the guy because he wasn't holding up his end. Sometimes that has to happen. My family has been running on public land for over 30 years. We ride at least twice a week moving cows off of riparians, fixing fence, and rotating fields. That's the way it has to be. We have a good relationship with the USFS, BLM, wildlife agencies, and the sportsmen.
My biggest problem with these types of posts is that guys get on here and start making generalizations. You make sweeping comments about ranchers and grazing when you are only exposed to a small sector somewhere in god-knows-where-America. I am not claiming that I know what goes on everywhere, but I can tell you I know what is going on in a lot of different areas. DON"T LET THE ACTIONS OF A FEW SHAPE YOUR OPINION OF THE MAJORITY!!
PleaseDear, it's too late for you to bring any new ideas to this forum, we've already solved all the problems!
