So if you see a cow are they not then a non-native invasive pest species just saying

I'm the one sitting in the cut block glassing all the animals you spooked and didnt see because you dont get out of your truck

I'm sure if the ranchers had the power to close all leased land to the public they would.
If I had the power I would make sure all riparian areas inside the leased areas be fenced and free of cattle.
It has been proven time and again that where cattle are not, the wildlife soon leaves also. It has to do with keeping plants young and fresh.
Some changes due to Forestry rules but it once meant ranchers could burn range in the spring to get rid of old grass and brush growth to make room for new but that hasn't happened much in the last 25 years or so. Part of the reason moose have left for the prairies? Part of the reason for the mega fires this year?
If cattle weren't in those areas I doubt you would be able to walk through them.
You entitled folk need to sit back and think about your comments before you put your comments in gear.
Tim it is ridiculous to even imagine your suggestion..fencing riparian further fragments habitat and can you imagine the costs? As well current strategy with riparian is to leave timber as reserve..timber left next to creek in cutblock blows down..root wad tears up soil not unlike cattle leaving a mud hole which science suggest is good for creeks. Something that is ugly and messy is not necessarily bad and in an attempt to address one issue you end up smack into another .
