We have to tell you about a man who came to our booth yesterday here at the Sacramento Sportsman Show. He was cited, by mail for having a dredge within 100 yards of a creek/drywash as a part of California DFW 5653 code. This is created from the absurd senate bill 637 pushed and passed […]
CALL TO ACTION…..ARIZONA: Are you sick of the USFS closing your access to public lands? For those in Arizona, you CAN stop the latest attempt at closing tons of roads in the Tonto NF. We’ve been talking about this closure for over a week now and have partnered with Kevin Allard, founder of […]
In continuing our informative series on the road closures in Arizona, we want to discuss RS2477.

Say you are a mining claim owner and apply for a plan of operations (PoO) with the USFS […]
We’d like to tell you about a man we are representing over problems with the USFS in Montana. He picked up two placer claims covering a small dry wash back in 2014 on the side of a mountain. The claims are near the top of this dry wash and rarely see water. The picture […]
We wanted to tell you about a man in another state we are representing and helping with an unbelievable claim (we are not disclosing which state yet). He had a cabin on his patented mining claim bulldozed by the USFS. We have so far determined the claim was originally filed in the early 1900’s […]
Outstandingly good news. This is a must read from The Daily Caller: The Interior Department will publicly list attorneys’ fees paid out, often to environmental activist groups, for legal settlements, according to a recent memo from Principal Deputy Solicitor Daniel Jorjani.
