Yes. Havre is clearly North-Central Montana and therefore would absolutely not understand the situation.

I would imagine real estate cost and contiguous undeveloped lands have something to do with it.
Curious as to why the folks who bring us the APR are so concerned with the high plains ? Why not the coast of Californian where their homes are, restore that. Why not the slopes of Big Sky, Tahoe, MT Bachelor, Whitefish? Why not the Cape Cod or Long Island? Why not the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago? We really do not need folks from those places, telling those of us here how to live, GO TO HELL , APR.
(The Robbins have effectively closed off 50,000 acres of your public land & they're the ringleaders of UPOM, btw).
Are you talking about Mabee road?
Yes.
Huh, I guess that's one way to look at it.
No, there's no way to look at it to make those numbers make sense.
Was just going off memory, which is not always as sharp as it used to be. Clearly I was wrong. Gonna go take my geritol now.
10,000 acres.
Mabee Road Access Update: February 2019 - PLWA
The Mabee Road in Fergus County has served as a major public access route into the remote Upper Missouri River Breaks for more than 100 years. It runs north out of Roy for many miles until it intersects with the...plwa.org
No worries, I'm just very familiar with the area and that flipped my BS meter.
Fargo Coulee has ~8,000 acres of public land in it, and is easily huntable from walking off of a county road. I never have understood why that one was fought so much compared to other access issues, and the court decision didn't surprise me one bit.
Sorry for the derail.
Most of the reasons you hear are red herrings. As with many concerns about significant change, emotions factor heavily. In this case, the kind of fear conjured by conspiracy theories drives much of the opposition. When the national monument status for the Wild and Scenic Missouri River was explained by the Director of DOI to folks in that area of Montana, the response rhetoric was radical as some described a conspiracy involving the DOI, BLM (fedl gubment), APR, Y2Y (Yellowstone to Yukon conservation initiative), UN Agenda 21, and even other entities. The death of the rugged highly romanticized "Marlboro Man" western cowboy image has been promoted as part of the conspiracy as well. One of the most hypocritical opponents of the APR is UPOM (United Property Owners of Montana), the outfit which seems to criticize the most highly regarded private property right of all ... the transactional right of willing buyer - willing seller.What is the dislike of APR by locals. I'm not grasping it.

I've heard property values. I've heard disease. I've heard hunting. Fishing. Etc, etc.
There seems to be a "man behind the curtain" on this that as a non local I'm not privy to.
In Utah we know that any "state management" line is code for privatization.
Is there something opposing APR is code for?
The more I read about it the more cloudy the opposition seems to be.
