I meant to quote your earlier post. Boulder County is a tough nut to crack for hunters given the checkerboard of private and public lands. It's made worse by the continuing (theft) acquisition of larger properties by the county, particularly in the mountains and any agricultural land. Unlike the original laudable goal of parks and open space purchases to protect riparian corridors, the bureaucracy is further eating up private properties wherever they can be taken and using public tax money to take them. The landowners are either pushed out to sell or into "conservation easements" through excessive taxes and regulation. If you look at many of the recently acquired open space properties they are not in sensitive habitats. They are scattered everywhere throughout the checkerboard where they will eventually dominate. These open space properties add to the prohibited access lands the county overseers now own, and a result is that the properties are no longer on the tax rolls, adding to the tax burden for any remaining county landowners.

The goal of the communist state is to be the sole possessor of property and life itself.
