Benevolent Landowners

[Nemont]

You sure sound bitter and not very thankful to me...perhaps justifiably so and especially in this case. Seems how there is legal access it would be fun to frequent the area for some fishing or "bird watching" when Huey is out there.

Sweetnectar,

I live 415 miles away from Mitchell Slough, it truly has zero effect on my duck hunting. I am not bitter about anything. It does strike me as odd that Huey has a heated and carpet duck blind built right on the sloughs edge but that it is not safe to duck hunt there.

Why would you want to deny a landowner the right to feed birds in their backyard?

I would guess more people feed birds than hunt...

I cannot deny him access to his property. The problem is that his actions on his private property are denying the public a place to hunt. Perhaps you should review how you feel about privately owned cattle interfering with your hunting on public lands. That private property and it's owners impact how the public can enjoy their property. Unless you believe in denying the public's right to public property?

Anyway think about this: any landowner along any river or body of water could decide to bait their river and effectively shut off duck hunting for alot of the publicly accessible hunting. That is a very bad precedent to set IMHO.

Happy Turkey day,

Nemont

I believe the division is broad Shooter. Not only do landowners hate resident hunters, resident hunters hate some landowners. Sorry, it's not a one way street.

Good point and point well taken . MontanaDog.......long enough to have an opinion.

Gobble Gobble everyone.............................. even you NeMont.

More benevolence...

I found this a week-and-a-half ago. Not a great pic as the sun was just coming up so I had to adjust the brightness and contrast. Nonetheless, on the post on the right is a blue "Entering State Land" sign and the post to the left has been painted orange. Picture was taken from a county road.

Found this today. I am standing just off a county road on a state section. View is to the east and the fence you can see is the east boundary of the section. The state land runs to the north for close to three-quarters of a mile. Neighboring landowner has been in and out of Block Management but hasn't been in for a few years. Looks like he used one of his old sign boards to put up his posting of state lands.

The next one is from a year or two ago. The sign came down because the road has always been a county road and there's half a section of state land just past the cattle guard. The county right-of-way runs for six tenths of a mile past this sign.

Can you feel the love?

Turn them in, they can loose their lease.

In reference to how long Shooter has been a Montana boy. Translates: to not really all that long.

 

[Meatatarian]

The reality is they won't lose anything. The illegal posting will come down though.

Thanks and happy turkey day to you to. Remember I am not your enemy, I could a terrific ally it is you who chooses not me. Hope you have an easy winter.

Looks like this story has now hit the Billings Gazette.

Attahced is a link to sign the petition to protect the public access on Mitchell Slough. FWP is holding a public hearing on Dec. 9 in Hamilton. We need as many signatures as possible!

Man, if I lived in Missoula, I'd go down there once a week for the next year and shoot a box of shells off into the air. I wouldn't have a duck license and I wouldn't be duck hunting. But if Huey doesn't like the shooting and wants to play mean, then I would play mean right back.

Send me a box of shells a week and it's done.

You can do more by signing this petition than shooting off guns will ever do.
That's exactly what Huey and his clowns want us to do, is cause a bunch of commotion and act like fools down there. We've got FWP and the Supreme Court on our side as long as we keep going about it the right way.

Pass this on to everyone you know.

My response was supposed to be tongue in cheek.
Signed the petition and passed it on to all my hunting buddies right as soon as I caught wind of it.
