Lease/crown land question

[mhd]

I have a late season cow elk tag and I was talking to a guy that has a lease on some crown land and he wouldn't let me on because he has some family members and friends who are hunting on there. Is he allowed to do that?

He can't do it but by the time you get the authorities to do something about it your season will be over. Stay tuned for more!

Short answer no, but the Local Settlement Officer can, at the request of the leaseholder.

Can the leaseholder limit the number of people who come on the land?No, but the leaseholder can discuss the concern with the Local Settlement Officer who can limit the number of people who can come on the land. Also, in cases where there are a high number of recreational users accessing the leases, the leaseholder can ask that a recreational management plan be put in place. These plans could include restrictions on the number of people on the lease at one time.
Both completed recreational management plans and limits set by a Local Settlement Officer will be included with the contact information on the website. Call your local Lands office of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development for more detail.

Find the piece of property and find out what the restrictions are. If the lease is large, numbers restictions should not factor in, but a smaller lease might be reasonable.

He definatly cannot deney you access to leased crown land just because he has family hunting it.
