[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 2482436, member: 11766"] [url]http://www.rangemagazine.com/specialreports/index.htm[/url] "Range" is required reading for those of you who actually deal with public land. Of course... since you folks own 97% of yours in Oklahoma (own with a deed) this may not be of any interest to you. These "one pair to 200 acres cows/calf pairs" are what feeds the stocker cow and feeder cow industry that a lot of Oklahomans' rely on to make a living. These cows have been raised on cheap land out here in the Basin for years... for years the grazing and water was the only thing worth a damn... the BLM and USFS kept an eye on roads, built a culvert now and then and pumped out the outhouse at a trail head. Yep, the folks back east paid for it in taxes but hey- it's their land too. Fast forward to the last 10 years. Gold is over $1000 ounce ... Vegas and LA need every drop of water in the region... Indian gaming has put a crunch on the small casino tourism industry and oil, geo thermal and solar energy all need right of way across federal lands to be worth anything... plus all the plant needs ground to be built over. To get use you need to jump through a ton of hoops... and having a Senator and a couple of Judges is a prudent investment... You guys are smart - figure it out. [/QUOTE]
