Good things happen to good people
Hey Phil! Where would a Tonto pass be required? If I was camping at, say, Payette Draw, would I need a pass? I don't get up north much.
I do have a STL permit because one of the places I MTB in Tucson is STL. When in my rig, out in the boonies, I am always potentially hunting. I carry my license and mountain lion tag and a rifle and I am always on the lookout.
Seriously Thomas, if nothing else comes of this you have at least made believers of all of us. No Shi T on that!
I hope the whole thing gets resolved with a fine, thinking only positive thoughts.
He went on to explain that the Rancher who leases the Table Mesa State Trust Land had complained to the County Attorney to get MCSO to write tickets in that area due to cattle issues.
LitP; A little off topic - but having a lease often is as good as owning the land, a commercial lease often also has additional clauses requiring paying all costs, including things like any insurance, road maintenance, taxes and compensating for any loss of value at lease end (think car lease - then make it worse for the lessee and you'll get close).
I wonder how hard it is to get a "grazing lease" and if you even have to verify that you actually are "grazing" anything...
come to think of it, my cat eats grass and pukes it back up, does that count?

Bottom line is if the OP and his passenger both had their $15 permit how would that have helped the lease holders cattle issues? Unless I missed something that was the reason given for the MCSO being there in the first place. What a nightmare.
Man, it's hard to find information on how much these "grazers" actually pay... Latest I could find was the 2012 fiscal year, where the state leased out 8.4 million acres, and took in 2.4 million dollars. Not sure how equally that was distributed, but that's an average of 30 cents an acre per year.As long as you can prove it isn't a domesticated cat... maybe paint leopard spots on it and claim it as an F3 ??
