I agree that the state should be managing the lands. No arguments here, but what if he decided not to pay the state? I know he tried, but he knew they would not accept it.
Like I said above - if he had taken the fees and given them to charity he would have been on higher ground with me. He didn’t do that.
I believe there is MUCH MORE to this uproar over the FEES!! There were
52 other ranchers in the area that are NO LONGER there!!! Ranchers are
a VERY strong bunch WHY would 52 of his neighboring ranchers abandon
their ranches!!!
