There's legitimate gripes on both sides of this, ranchers and hunters. Didn't used to be so. My work takes me to ranchers all over the place and I've got more invites to come hunt than I'll ever use. Then there's a number of ranchers (or their heirs) who'd let my Dad and me hunt their places back in the Stone Age, when Montana was still Montana. Again, we're friends of long standing and yep, I'll never hunt all my opportunities, but I'll still swing by if only just to visit, maybe help fix fence until suppertime, because it's the relationships I value more than the hunting.
