This is an interesting story out of Montana as Kerby Jackson points out: “Not really an unexpected outcome, unfortunately, as these are Post-1955 claims due to a relocation in the 1980’s. Based on my reading of the administrative record, Kornec got screwed by BLM back in the 80’s after their refusal to recognize the […]
As many of you know by now, we get more complaints of closed roads coming out of Montana now than most other states. Most are because of the Forest Service.This is pretty remarkable and we are reaching out to Senator Jacobson tomorrow to discuss his bill which fines those who close (gate) their public lands. […]
California dredging update:We recently put up a post asking for people to call the Senators who passed SB637 brought forth by Senator Ben Allen (D-Hollywood) called “the suction dredge bill”. It required the CAWB (California Water Board) to evaluate whether or not suction dredging should be permitted in the state by having them look at […]

We have been in continuous communication with the miners in Washington State over yet another attempt to ban suction dredging. This is the third bill in three years and this one is brought forth by Trout Unlimited. This video sent to us from Justin Karr shows just how effective it is to have the politicians […]
Oregon:This was sent by a friend of ours and after a little digging, we found the bill doesn’t currently name “fishing” but we believe it will morph into a ban on fishing tournaments like it is on hunting contests.
