Wilks brothers true colors are shining through.....

[wingman1]

Yes, there is a fence and road plowed around the whole BLM border. Ok whatever. But to park a 5th wheel camper in the middle of the road we land on??? To add to that they are driving off road everywhere making new roads on the BLM. Will update as with more pics later this weekend

BTW Big Fin there is a D10 Cat parked in your favorite saddle ripping up dirt as we speak.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Good luck on your hunt. Too bad about the aggravation.

Weasel move brothers.

Nectar said he saw you making the rounds this evening he thought. What a punk move they are doing. Good luck in there

Why would they need a Cat in that saddle? I don't even remember a road in there.

Document, Document, Document!

That camper cannot be in the same place for more than 14 days. Illegal offroad use plus ground disturbing practices without a NEPA document on Fed and State Land is bad news.

These fellows are not accustomed to not getting what they want. Plenty of money to run equipment, erect structures, pay lawyers and fines, etc. Impede, discourage, redirect wildlife and hunter movements? Practitioners of The Golden Rule. He who has the gold, rules.

" True colors " is right. is the fence a livestock type , or is it meant to be elk proof, once the elk are all spooked off the blm ?

Sound like real conservationists!!!

 

[wingman1]

Just heard gun shots close to where I spotted elk last night.

Durn coyotes!

Where's law enforcement? This is a rhetorical question and needs no response.

 

[jryoung]

Sounds like an investigative reporter needs to be contacted. If they are going to go full dirtbag after losing the swap proposal, it's only fair to make the general public aware of their actions. When the next proposal comes about the court of public opinion will have already weighed in.

Can someone provide a current cliff note version of this situation...

 

[Gerald Martin]

Simplified cliff notes. Wilks Bros own private land all around this public area. No public access except by fly in. Wilks Bros proposed to swap BLM some less desirable land in return for this piece of property. Public outcry and opinions against the swap convinced BLM to decline their offer. Now looks like Wilks & Co have an urgent need to do some projects either right up against this public land or possibly on it.

Know your rights:

Montana’s hunter harassment law is another tool designed to protect hunters from those who impede lawful activity. The pertinent language is in Montana Code 87-3-142, and says: “Harassment prohibited. (1) A person may not intentionally interfere with the lawful taking of a wild animal or fishing by another. Breaking this law is a criminal misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine not to exceed $500 or imprisonment not to exceed 30 days, or both. A person convicted of a second or subsequent violation punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment for a term not to exceed 1 year, or both.”

Just make your own road.

 

[wingman1]

New road on the line

 

[MThuntr]
