Up here the crown owns the wildlife, we do however get to look after them.

Yeah, we got coyotes, elk (protected from hunting), white tail deer out our buttocks, black bears everywhere and turkeys to the point of real nuisance - I would love to ship them your way and find a way to reduce the damages they do here.

You have an obvious enjoyment of photography - I would be more than happy to increase your opportunity to take extra pics!

Have a great Sunday.

What part of the ranch are you seeing the Moose on. Your just lucky the Queen trusts you with feeding Her ungulate's.

You are right but I spelled it wrong, Undulate. I would go change it to ungulate in the header but none of this conversation would make any sense.

Ah....I knew what you meant and here it's the "people of montana's" wildlife (who are doing a damn poor job of keeping them on their side of the fence) and there's more of them than i can ever remember----but the thought of that proper, dignified ol' gal "undulating" did give me a chuckle

Somewhere in past history of the USA, 'the people' were 'sold' the idea that ownership of wildlife by "the King" (or the Queen as the case today) was too onerous and 'unfair', so we should ALL own them. And our citizens fell for that switch play, failing to see that "the people" really meant THE GOVERNMENT till the regulations made it all too clear.

In SD, probably as in other states, the Dept. of Game, Fish and Parks (by whatever name used in other states) CONTROLS the regulation and it does NOT favor the land owner who feeds the critters and has the added cost of their depredations to our facilities and feed. GFP is funded via license fees and various taxes on ammuntion, etc. The hotels, motels, restaurants, bars, and so on reap the benefits, with a pittance to landowners who participate in the sometimes GFP management hunting on private lands, GFP also buys land (generally at prices farmer/ranchers can't affort) for wildlife 'management' and hunting as well. There is some quite limited payment or assistance to those who can demonstrate real losses of feed to deer or other protected wildlife.

There is some hunting allowed, only within proper seasons and following game laws, by outfitters, but it sure doesn't seem encouraged by anyone. Nor is any other means of farmers and ranchers recovering some of their losses from over-population of some species, IMO.
