    one question on Bundy

    I let things calm down. I have only one question. Call it biased if you will but I would like an answer, if there is one. I read the Taylor grazing act of 1934. In 315B the law states that granting of a permit creates no right, estate or interest to the land. How did that go to what we have now...

    Bill Cosby Comments, refreshing

    BILL HAS GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN... They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And...

    Police Kill Unarmed Teenager

    I 'm so tired of this "victim" mentality . When you place yourself outside the law you should expect the consequences. What are the cops supposed to do? The police have a very limited time to make a decision and the press has all the time to gather facts, background etc. Just as people on this...

    Wolves to be considered for culling elk herds

    Compensation for lost livestock due to wolves is a complete farce. Don't even contact anyone about a loss. All you will do is draw attention to yourself when you do not want it. Take it from the wolf capital of the lower 48, Minnesota.

    Pentagon: furlough of 800,000 civilians pending

    Let's eliminate waste. But WHAT is waste? Anything that I obtain from the government is deserved but what you get is fat. I am SO sick of politicians parroting the words let's cut the the fat and save the good programs. Let me step back and introduce myself. I am a Bible believing Christian...

    Blame it on Bush

    First of all let me say that I am a Viet Nam veteran and long-time Republican and have been a delegate to many of our state conventions. But the pragmatic, socially conservative party I had known seems to have changed or I have. When I first read these figures I was skeptical. President Obama...

    Trayvon's autopsy shows drugs in his system.

    Don't get me wrong- this is good circumstantial evidence that he had used marijuana in the past- but not a real smoking gun that he was under the influence at the time he was killed... In reponse to the above quote. I don't post much so bear with me if my post is not correct in form. But why...

    Fish & Wildlife chief praises state wolf management

    Just a few comments on wolves. We have more wolves in minnesota then the rest of the lower 48 according to my information. The population now exceeds several fold the initial target. The wolves now inhabit a lot of farmland with expected results. The area where I live is approximately 90%...

    Grazing public land

    Thank you Lonecowboy, this is from your BLM sheet. (An AUM is the amount of forage needed to sustain one cow and her calf, one horse, or five sheep or goats for a month.) The grazing fee for 2011 is $1.35 per AUM, the same level as it was in 2010. The Federal grazing fee is computed by using...

    Grazing public land

    farmguy, I will bet you have never seen BLM land in the west. Come out, and we'll show you some. That might change your mind. Yes I have visited many western states. Also I have more than a passing knowledge of the area. Renters paying for improvements is not an unusual concept. Ask virtually...

    Grazing public land

    Too dark to check heifers yet so I have a minute. What a mess this seems. People are selling the right to use land they do not own. From what I gathered a couple generations ago some families got a very good deal, the right to use Federal land for grazing at what may have not been at that time...

    Grazing public land

    Trying to understand here. A permit is the right to lease. So If I have one that gives me the right to so many AUMs. Therefore only people with a pemit can graze public land. This permit is so lucrative that it has value and I can sell it or if I can leave it to my children. The estate tax is...

    Grazing public land

    I have a real problem with the grazing fees on public land. I have been doing some reading and they have not gone up in a half century. These are not put up for bids, just grandfathered in as I understand. I also read that it costs 6 times as much to administer the system as is returned in fees...
