Not a fight because if it was there would be a chance he could winChick fight!!!!
Yep, you are absolutely right. If users of the public land, be they livestockmen, or any other users, paid the same or at least close to what they would pay to use private land, the Western States would back off on demanding taking over management from the Feds. Either that or require the other States to pay the Western State’s a far higher rate than they are now, to keep public land public. If a guy from Florida or Michigan, or Alabama wants to keep these lands public, they need to pony up more annual taxes to equalize the lose to the Western States by giving us a pittance in equalization compensation. If it’s public, and I want it to be, we all need to pay more to keep it public.An allotment is a binding agreement between the holder and the government. cancel culture doesn't work in the rural west the ranches are on solid ground legally.
What I will agree with is the grazing fees should be closer to private land lease rates. in this area summer pasture rents for $25-$35 depending on the range. USFS and BLM are still around $2.88 per unit last I looked. so private fees run about 1000% more than fed fees. the allotment holders have a right to the grazing , they don't have a right to graze for basically nothing.
if you really want to be pissed, consider the fact that many years the grazing drought assistance payments pay several times more than the grazing fees. so you're actually paying them to graze public lands, after you subsidized the grazing to begin with. I have a bit of a problem with this, especially if you're a producer paying private fees.
Bloomberg has a place above Meeker. Maybe a calf elk will get eaten on his personal golf course.Colorado’s gray wolves are exploring further into the state, according to new map
The wolves are exploring deeper into some areas of Colorado, but are largely avoiding others. CPW says that it plans to release updated maps of the furry predator's range once a month.www.kkco11news.com
If they make it to Wyoming we should start doing a collection here for the guy or gal that takes em out.
Hope soIn a recent article they are claiming that the WYO posse killed 4 of the 5 that had formed a pack in west moffat county and 2 of the 5 from the north park pack.
Sounds like the wyo posse is doing the lords workIn a recent article they are claiming that the WYO posse killed 4 of the 5 that had formed a pack in west moffat county and 2 of the 5 from the north park pack.
TKMule - Can you post the link on the Wyo guys that got 4 of 5 from the Moffat pack and 2 of 5 from North Park- I'm not seeing any info on it..
There was a nice article today in the Cowboy State Daily and it seems they are pretty on top of this to date but didn't mention any info like this.
I see it now. Thanks.Two Colorado wolves wandering close to Wyoming border, where killing them is legal
Killing wolves is legal in Wyoming. As Colorado's wolves wander close to the border, here's Colorado Parks and Wildlife's approach to the situation.www.coloradoan.com
about half way thru the article. theyre claiming 3-4 from the north park pack and 4 from the "former" moffat pack.
I hate cows, but they’re the closest thing to fire suppression we have here. I wish it was elk or deer but that isn’t the case.
I just looked at the youtube video, and think it looks alot like one of them when it was on its side at the start of the video.It looks much lighter in color than the radium released black one.
Exactly which part isn’t accurate?The Norwood folks from the BLM and FS keep a lid on new starts, so this isn’t an accurate statement. With the exception of Bull Draw there hasn’t been anything to mention. And the bull draw and mailbox fires look fantastic.
I agree - we will know soon if it is true.I feel like at this point if it were true it would be plastered all over the news... just did a search and found nothing.
You said “cows are the closest thing we have to fire suppression”Exactly which part isn’t accurate?
Fires have a lot more to do with water than they do with fs crews piling up sticks. I’m not ready to credit forest health to the bureaucrats just yet.
I politely disagree with you AZGuy. Livestock grazing is about all we have in our tool bag here in Colorado that is permitted. What is Az doing that is better?You said “cows are the closest thing we have to fire suppression”
I said your comment is not accurate and it’s not. And I don’t think the flannel wearing hippy smoking a joint on the way to the FS building daily is the bureaucrat but that’s another subject. We do have suppression resouces in the Southwest and some of the best in the country.
Are you talking about fire fighting resources? If so we are talking about two different things. I’m talking about rangeland management. I suppose I should have said fuel suppression.I politely disagree with you AZGuy. Livestock grazing is about all we have in our tool bag here in Colorado that is permitted.

Fuels suppression is a here I'm at. No way is a cow taking down an adult tree.Are you talking about fire fighting resources? If so we are talking about two different things. I’m talking about rangeland management. I suppose I should have said fuel suppression.
But in case we are talking about the same thing, I’ve noticed the HUGE increase in logging activity as well.
No suppression and fuels management are two different things. You said said suppression, your neck of the woods has good folks that put fire out.Are you talking about fire fighting resources?

I wasn’t talking about firefighters; I should have been clearer.No suppression and fuels management are two different things. You said said suppression, your neck of the woods has good folks that put fire out.
