Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the United States, the government holds immense tracts of land that are available for use by the public. Yet surprisingly, access to some of these lands is restricted by private landowners who charge fees for passage. This insightful book examines conflicts between landowners and sportsmen over the issue of access to public lands, with particular focus on the Piceance Creek and Caliente Mountain areas. The author provides a conceptual framework for understanding these conflicts, tracing their origins to fragmented ownership patterns, legal uncertainties, and lack of clear public land policies. The book explores the economic dimensions of these conflicts, highlighting the incidence of costs and benefits associated with various access arrangements. It also examines the institutional rigidities that can perpetuate these conflicts and emphasizes the importance of finding equitable solutions that balance the interests of landowners and sportsmen alike.
