Video is WRONG

[Redmt]

@Big Fin . This was posted on the RMEF you tube and it is wrong. The land is NOT open to the public. I had a lengthy conversation with our local CAFD warden that covers this area.

Curious what else you know about why it's not open to the public vs what RMEF says in the video. Still great it was conserved for the Tule Elk but hunting access was probably a huge part of the goal in conserving the land.

I don't feel comfortable saying what I know about the property and it's background. What I do know and can share is it's NOT open to the public. That is verified by a F&G warden that I have known for many years.

OnX shows it as closed to the public. The property does not seem to be shown on the CDFW Lands map viewer.

Someone very irresponsibly created the video. There needs to be some sort of retraction and the video taken down.

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Or just edited to say it’s not open to the public right?….

Interesting….

What does this have to do with Randy?

Hopefully he has contacts within the RMEF that can correct it.

It is a very nice piece of ground rich in wildlife. I have permission to pass through it going to other private land. It is surrounded by private land with little to no fences. This is an unfortunate mistake that could possibly get an innocent hunter in a world of trouble.

You got any extra layers on? I opened all mine for CA and it doesn’t show restrictions.

When you click on the parcel and scroll down it says no public access.

Yeah you had that RMEF layer on, that’s what I was missing.

Access no, but hunting yes. Makes sense. I think it’s for the youth if I read it correctly, idk.

Interesting. If as Redmt shares, there will hopefully be an evaluation to determine if there is a correction necessary.

Here's the RMEF write-up:

San Antonio, CA - onX Public Access Project

In 2015, private landowners worked with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Wyoming Game and Fish Department to create a 15-year hunting access agreement for their Mule Creek Ranch, a sprawling 6,660-acre landscape near the southern Laramie Range Mountains between Casper and Laramie.

There's nothing really to share other than the heritage of the land. That really doesn't have a bearing on the incorrect information in the video. It is not public land open for hunting. It's held by the Land Conservancy managed (poorly) by F&G.

Huh?
Seems to say exactly what you're sharing is not accurate.

"Because this land, like the first, is owned and managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, it is open to public access for hunting and other activities."

The write-up is a transcript of the video.

 

[Sytes]

I stated "Here's the RMEF the write-up" that includes the video. Shared to compliment exactly what Redmt shared via video.

I'm constantly a vocal advocate of RMEF. If the editor made an error, I'm sure it will be corrected.

***

On this note, a phone call or email to RMEF has always led me to either a direct conversation with the principle person or a quick phone/email response, whether a critical or supportive comment was expressed.
I would hope @Redmt has done such.

If RMBS released something I believed was in error, I'd use your organization's contact info.
If no response and it remained, I might publicly call it out - or PM you directly though to each his / her own.

If inaccurate, which Redmt's comment appears supported via OnX (not questioning Redmt's statement), as mentioned, I'd hope it would be corrected sooner than later.
