I didn’t look up the NOTAM but a 3 mile radius atound a spot in the Nevada desert is BS on its face. The ranch is something over 600,000 acres-—that’s upwards of 100 townships which, if rectangular, would be around 40 miles square. The ranch is 80+ miles from Vegas with little in between. That would have been a really expensive day trip for a news bird. Spooking the cows more would have been the result of more aircraft and BLM already did enough of that. If you want to get shot out of the sky “soonest” go ahead and fly your eggbeater over a cowboy’s herd. It seems that card had been played and the humor in it was gone.
