I was visiting a ranch a few years ago in Oregon. The rancher ran a bunch of cattle up on BLM land. He said that many years ago their was a section of stream that the BLM folks came into and fenced off so the cattle couldn’t get near it. Then they cleaned it up of all the dead trees and stuff around the creek.
Many years latter they came back in, took down the fences, and hauled in old logs and stumps to dump in the creek! Turns out the trout like the shelter of the “junk” in the stream. (I’ve know that since I was a little kid - 40+ years ago!!??). And it seems that the cows tromping through parts of the creek stir up the bugs and critters hiding under the rocks which distributes them better along the creek, and keeps too much muck from settling in the creek.
Agreed. Sometimes, it appears from environmentalists’ arguments, that they are against life itself in the West.
Wish you two fellows could help out in this controversy.
I see the Ranchers really taking a beating because the ENVIRO thing is soooo popular now. And, these Enviro-Anarchists have ALOT of FUNDING/MONEY to play with.
They constantly get Donations from people that don’t have a CLUE as to how ranching and open country like that of Grant County works.
I’ve bought property in Grant County now and intend to move up there within a year or so.
I am not fond of ANY Enviro-Waco’s because they are ALL-The-Same-—> Anarchists..
