And that’s exactly what the BLM is suppose to do, everybody gets to use it. All (98%) of the hunting in TX is private land and yes the prices are so high few get to enjoy. The BLM ranchers have had a sweet deal for a long time and it makes it very difficult for those of us that have to pay much higher fee’s to compete.

Ranchers who used BLM land for their livestock would intimidate hunters, stating they were on private land. The advent of GPS stopped that nonsense. We have a friend who was hunting on BLM land, a rancher told him to leave because it was private property. Our friend showed him his GPS, told him he was full of it and to call the sheriff. the rancher knew he lost that fight and left. I think these ranchers who use public land think it is theirs, however, it belongs to all of us.
