Many of these ranches are no longer family owned. They've been bought out by big money, people like Bill Gates and the Koch brothers, 2 of the biggest landowners in the US. Their decisions are made from an office in a big city high rise, not by the guy in the cowboy hat out feeding cattle. They aren't the people who you want making the decisions affecting your outdoor recreation.
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell
It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
