Antero Bible"(comparing this find to something as good as the Bible:)) well heck ya..this is an awesome book..extremely in-depth..well written..all the info you could ever need..it's older written in the 80's but still an excellent read...what is the collecting status on Antero and White mtns. now?

He brings up a valid question. What exactly are the laws concerning claimed blm land as far as trespassing? Is there a thread that someone can direct us to? This is good info to know in case someone decides to or already owns a claim.
I was always under the assumption that "claimed" land should be treated as private land. No trespassing, no hunting, and of course, no prospecting. Did I assume wrong? |

I was always under the assumption that "claimed" land should be treated as private land. No trespassing, no hunting, and of course, no prospecting. Did I assume wrong? You assumed wrong. Recreational users may use claimed BLM and NFS managed lands for recreational purposes as long as they are not interfering with mining operations. Hunters may not hunt or fire within 1/4 mile of someone working their claim. I don't discourage hunting or recreational use on my claims as long as they are playing by the rules of law and respecting my operation. The people in the pics posted in this thread were not only on active claims.... but also privately owned property and/or likely patented claims. Neither is open to entry for recreational use. The owner says it is well posted, but that doesn't even matter, not required by law. People should be doing their due diligence of land status research prior to going out and digging or recreationally playing on someone's private property. I don't know what they were doing? I see a 5 gal bucket in the pics and I'm assuming the claim owner has evidence of digging or mineral loss/damage... regardless, they were trespassing on private property. Mineral trespass if they were rockhounding. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |
