Forest grazing issue pressed by Montana sportsmen
Fred Shoemaker of the Forest Service told the Montana Sportsmen association in Helena that western stockmen seek a congressional board of control over forest reserves, nominal grazing fees, and deeded grazing rights. He urged harmony among users while defending forest preservation and warned stockmen may push an area based rights measure, with other users still at stake.

Forest Plans Spark Rights Debate and Open Access Fears
The proposal would grant perpetual rights with leaseholds passing to ranch owners and allow broad forest grazing control. Critics warn the plan favors large operators, blocks new settlers, and requires a high level of administrative oversight.
