>>2530065it's not even a 'boomer' problem per se though anon (that retarded term is so horribly abused). But yeah, it's typically ranchers or outfitters who'll use their plot of land to basically block public access to the much larger swathes of public land behind theirs. like if you look at a map of BLM holdings, there's this fucky checkerboard pattern of public/private land that's 100% devised to fuck the peasants over.
pic related, the rancher here has de factor control over all of that land, but he'd gladly sell your party a weekend hunting pass for a grand or so. (and he'd go absolutely ballistic if you corner crossed to avoid his blockade)
(full disclosure, my property abuts BLM forest on 2 sides, there's no road access. i think i'd be more than a little upset at people traversing my property to get to the BLM forest. But there's a distinction between someone's private residence/smallholding and some rancher with fuckoff huge amounts of land who weaponizes gates and corner crossing prohibitions for economic benefit)
