Hi Ryan. My sources say the family never received any type of notification and had no issues with the FS until this hunter's complaint. You can see the map for yourself. Their grazing agreement has been consistently renewed every single year, acknowledging all fence lines and boundaries as accurate, since the start of the National Grasslands program in 1960.

Anyone with experience on public lands knows that these types of small acreage land disputes or fence line issues are extremely common. The Small Tract Act was written to address exactly such issues.

But if you want to believe unelected bureaucrats with a history of harassing this community over a family of law-abiding American citizens, you go right ahead. That's your prerogative.

You used biased sources, you're biased yourself, you're ignoring the actual facts of the matter.

You really have no business calling yourself a journalist at this point.

Which of your sources are NOT directly connected to the Maude family?

The fact that the indictment centers on an irrigation system and plantings that the Maudes allegedly made AFTER being informed that they would be trespassing on Federal land is a rather significant thing to leave out of the article.
