[meteorite-list] BLM troubles

[Adam Hupe]

Yes it is interesting the way the BLM treats people.  I find that ranchers here in Nevada are some the friendliest and hard working people you could hope to meet.  My ranch is bordered by 3/4 of a mile of BLM federal land with a private shortcut road cutting through one corner of it.  Perhaps I should block the private road with a coded gate and only share the code with ranchers so that others (BLM) cannot use this shortcut to a county road.

I find it better to collaborate than to make your own laws as you go.  I have no problem at all letting other rancher's cattle graze on my land.  In exchange, I get to search their properties for meteorites with no worry of a fake 10 pound limit.  I notice not a single commercial permit for meteorite hunting has ever been issued by the BLM so the whole thing is a farce.


Best Regards,

Adam

Looks like the BLM has their hands full as of late:

the article:

Environmental issues have never been a real concern for the feds except as 
convenient leverage when it's time to collect payment.
I am not siding with the grazing issue totally but the BLM's attitude is 
disturbing to me.

the video:

This has long reaching implications that extend all the way to us and our 
endeavours.... believe me.
