Crystal Lane! |
| Post #21 - Posted on: Friday. February 25, 2011 Has anything ever come of this?? |
| Post #19 - Posted on: Monday. March 22, 2010 I find it very interesting in the amount of banter back and forth until the question about the mysterious document dates in post #17. No one seems to want to answer those questions on here or in person. I'm kind of curious myself. |
| Post #18 - Posted on: Sunday. March 07, 2010 #13 you are on the right track but your proportions are off. I think what we have today is a majority of members with good intentions being led by a few individuals with personal agendas, hypocracy, jealousy, ego and let's not forget greed. |
| Post #17 - Posted on: Sunday. February 28, 2010 Hey Post #9 If you inherited the property in 1996, why did the county commission send you a legal document in 1982????? |
| Post #16 - Posted on: Saturday. February 27, 2010 This is always what happens when have-nots become haves, they turn into everything they were against when they were have-nots. |
| Post #15 - Posted on: Friday. February 26, 2010 And you wonder why wildlife and the management thereof in this state is in the shape it is!! A bunch of Peyton Place Clowns spending all their time and energy fighting over a 40 acre chunk of nothing, when Rome is burning around them!!! |
| Post #14 - Posted on: Friday. February 26, 2010 I find it hard to believe that when the land was donated it was intended to do what it has. I would think that it was donated for the good of the club as a whole, not to become a private hunt club for the select few. The land has been an issue of conflict since the begining and has only gotten worse. If the club was smart they would turn it into a fishing access in their name or something that would benefit the public and maybe the wild life as well. Because as it currently sits a black eye is an understatement. Ben Wohlers |
| Post #13 - Posted on: Friday. February 26, 2010 Having been a member for well over a decade, the club has seen my last dollar. I have watched as the club has evolved from a group of people basically interested in the welfare of montana's wildlife to what we have today. A few people with good intentions being led by personal agendas, hypocracy, jealousy and ego. |
| Post #12 - Posted on: Friday. February 26, 2010 The times they are a changin. In the old days good old boys did stuff like this all the time and never got caught. |
| Post #11 - Posted on: Friday. February 26, 2010 To Post #3 How can a club that has such a long history of doing so much good for the valley's wildlife leave itself open for such a black eye? Bad leadership is an understatement! |
| Post #9 - Posted on: Wednesday. February 24, 2010 please correct your website. the truth is and i quote from the legal document signed by the county commissioners in 1982: "this roadway is not now, nor never has been, accepted as a county road". |
| Response by Webmaster: The petition to make Crystal lane a public road and the declaration of it as such is well documented on this web site and can easily be confirmed by going to the clerk and recorders office and looking up these references. Msla Comm Journal Vol. E Pg 480; Ravalli Road Plat Book pg 96; Ravalli Road Petition Book A69 Where, in the public record, is your legal document located? In spite of spending time (both mine and the office staff) in the clerk and recorders office searching for it, I don't have a copy of the letter you reference. If it is part of the public record, tell me where it is recorded and I will get a copy and post it along with the other legal documents. The laws in Montana concerning public roads are very precise: MCA 7-14-2615. Abandonment or vacation of county roads. (1) All county roads once established must continue to be county roads until abandoned or vacated by: (a) operation of law; (b) judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) the order of the board. (2) An order to abandon a county road is not valid unless preceded by notice and public hearing. (3) The board may not abandon a county road or right-of- way used to provide existing legal access to public land or waters, including access for public recreational use as defined in 23-2-301 and as permitted in 23-2-302, unless another public road or right-of-way provides substantially the same access. (4) The board may not abandon a county road or right-of- way used to access private land if the access benefits two or more landowners unless all of the landowners agree to the abandonment. |
| Post #8 - Posted on: Wednesday. February 24, 2010 In regards to the 2/23 post. Please define ignorant bully. Please define private vs public access. Can I , as the public , access this property? No, I am not able to do so because of this locked OR BLOCKED access. Why don't you go and try to access it or maybe you are one of those few fortunates that have a key? Just the facts here,please. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Please do tell us why this PUBLIC access should be locked? If so, maybe you know something or someone the rest of us don't?! Instead of trying to smear a concerned citizen regarding PUBLIC access to a PUBLIC PLACE, please do describe what you feel is unjust and self serving, we are all ears. I would love to understand your views. Just the facts please. |
| Post #7 - Posted on: Wednesday. February 24, 2010 Why don't you tell everyone, how you hunted the RCFWA property more then any other member this past season? Why don't you tell everyone that you admitted that the only reason you joined the RCFWA was for the property? My guess is these comments will not get posted. |
| Response by Webmaster: I did not hunt on the club property this season. I hunted public property below the high water mark and outside of the club boundaries (actually on Ken Siebel's river bottom as afforded by stream access). I was allowed access via Crystal Lane because I am a club member, attended three meetings and satisfied the mandatory 8 hour service required by the club to access the river bottom. I maintain / host the clubs web presence (www.RCFWA.com), which I was told automatically qualified me for the special privilege. 99%, if not all, of the waterfowl hunting regulated by RCFWA is done below the high water mark on public property and most of that is done outside the club boundaries. All duck blinds sanctioned, built and regulated by RCFWA are below the high water mark and two of the three are on the Siebel ranch river bottom. |
| Post #6 - Posted on: Wednesday. February 24, 2010 RCFWA you should be ashamed! You got my money for banquet tickets this year but you won't see me there and you'll never get any more of my money. |
| Post #5 - Posted on: Tuesday. February 23, 2010 you are a disgrace to humanity. everyone know's your intentions are purely selfish in this endeavor and you are nothing more than an ignorant bully. what goes around comes around. |
| Response by Webmaster: If there is anything on this site that is not accurate, let me know and if you are correct, I'll change it. If RCFWA is ashamed for the public to see something on this site, stop doing it. |
| Post #4 - Posted on: Tuesday. February 23, 2010 Maybe they started with good intentions but becoming private property owners turned them into hypocrites |
| Post #3 - Posted on: Monday. February 22, 2010 RCFWA has good intentions, with bad leaders. In due time the ignorant pool will die out in the process of life. But, will the club still be around.... I hope so. |
| Post #2 - Posted on: Friday. February 19, 2010 Their closely guarded dirty little secret is coming out for all to see. Right On! |
| Post #1 - Posted on: Friday. February 19, 2010 RCFWA - Hypocrites to the max! |
