I may be out of line, but to me this needs more visibility. This post won't solve a damn thing, but it infuriates me.
Me and a couple buddies had some cow tags for this area and figured we'd make it a good week just chasing cows and having a good time. We did not realize the amount of elk on private ranches; whatever, we still had fun and plenty of God's Water (Busch Lattes).
The problem came when we tried to access a chunk of BLM that clearly had a couple public access points; one from the west, and one from the east. When we tried to access the land from the east, we were met with a large private drive sign. I had done a lot of scouting so we had other areas to go check out. But after no luck, I decided to call the county. I called the main office, and got the run around, got sent to multiple departments, then got the gal's voicemail that I needed to speak with, several phone calls and voicemails later, we got nothing. The land owners are well known in this area (maybe rhymes with MILKS), but when I looked at the imagery, I could not be more pissed. When you have enough money, and more staff and equipment than the county, you can relocate county roads so they don't cross public anymore.
