Haven't seen it in a long time, but the worst were the ones that locked USFS or BLM gates on their allotments to keep folks out.
Had an old Boy Scout leader that kept a set of bolt cutters in his vehicle just for them.
I’ve seen it, it was mostly on state land. We tried not to cut the locks if we could get through without it. I don’t know how many fences we’ve fixed and phone calls we made when they had a water leak or cows out.
Always causes a few run ins with the rancher threatening to call the law and us saying ok, we’ll be out here somewhere but we’re not wasting time here. Never once did they call, they knew they were wrong.
