They will be back again and again until they have run every one off. Remember the slogan “Cattle Free by 93” and the “National Monument” movement. It has been only through the efforts of not only the ranchers, but also our group “People for the Owyhees” that we have been able to defeat these efforts. I don’t recall who said, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”. This is still very true today and especially in this Owyhee Initiative Movement. The environmentalists would like nothing better than to create a split between the ranchers and recreational groups.
