Not that I like seeing any access closed for any reason, but it seems to me that Green Diamond closed it and sold keys to a handful of people to exactly address the problems they were having.

Now there will be less garbage, no one will be blocking their road, and no one will be using their property to make money without their permission, and those people are paying for the privilege.

Not sure how many of the folks here have a foot this shoe would fit on...but I always find it more than a little amusing that "private property rights" and "personal responsibility" folks become Socialists really, really quickly when someone doesn't give them free access to their property to do whatever they want to do there, whether it be hunt, fish, or whatever.

I do think, however, that tax breaks should not be doled out to those who close up the property to recreation...otherwise, it's their property, they don't owe you schit.

Fish on...
