The old timers around Miles City were great for letting you on their land. Many passed away and some land was sold or passed on. The hunters didn't change the landowners did. We quit hunting there that was a long time ago. I was told à rancher wouldn't let anyone on their land. He had a praire fire nobody came to help him put it out. I treasure the landowners that let me and my family hunt. It's a friendship thats "paid" with 30 packs of beer. Most hunters will not jeporize their privilège. I imagine it depends on where you live. Not saying landowners don't have problems but is it sometimes used as an excuse. Many times landowners have family and friends hunting and when they fill out they will let you on.
