I just completed all three appeals with a lease holder and lost at every turn. Hunters don't realize how badly they are being shafted by the government and lessee's. Leases without on/off dates can arrange to have stock on the lease for the entire hunting season and you can't hunt. But the lessee and friends can hunt and use vehicles however they want. If there is a short high grade oil lease road which has been used by the public for years which goes through a small corner of a huge lease and is the only access to thousands of acres of un occupied crown land the lessee can lock up solid. Again, he can allow friends through to private hunting again. Basically the government has turned over our crown land to lessees without anyone knowing about it.
