The facts of the Heather and Charles Maude case are as simple as they are enraging.
The Maudes are generational ranchers. Their land, bordering federal land, has been in the family since the 1910s. In March of 2024 the Maudes posted a “no hunting” sign on a fence that had been there for about 75 years. Supposedly a hunter—who has never been identified—complained about the sign, the forest Service told the Maudes to remove it, which they promptly did.
