Dolts. You have a lot more chance of getting shot walking out of your studio than on that land. To quote Michael Jackson, "That's ignorant"....
Brokaw, go back to the city where you belong!
Interesting comment. How about all TV news anchors be required to run all broadcasts before a truth verification committee prior to airing. Exposure of current broadcasts subjects my family and I to unusual anguish thru unnecessary exposure to lying.

Stroke of the pen - law of the land. "Cool".
Sounds like the Brokaws are maneuvering to buy the land their property encircles. First, deny the other owner the right to use his land profitably, then make an offer?
Naturally he decides to visit his ranch during hunting season just to complain via lawyer about the neighbors
Brokaw you are an a hole...stay in NY City in your condo or parkside villa flat or in one of your other houses until hunting season is over...
On the other hand...who knows...maybe it would be good for all of America if you did stay in Montana during high powered rifle season..

I live not very far from there and I am tired of liberals moving in and changing the political landscape. I live in Jackson Hole and I have started calling it Berkley of the Rockies in my local newspaper articles and letters to the editor. What used to be billed as the "Best of the Old West" is no more. If I was Tom or Ted I'd be worried about arrows also!

Oh, the woes of the rich. You get 2,500 acres and then you still have neighbors. Is there no justice? Oh, the trials of Job all over again...... Poor Tom, he already is having to work harder at his research since Karl Rove won't check his homework for him anymore.
If they are worried about their safety, they should stay away from the property line ;)
liberals always seem to be concerned with their own safety. the kennedies are an example. that is why they live in a compound.
Brokejaw is not anti hunting. He is concerned for his safety. Yeah sure.....He cannot regulate what other private property owners do with their property. If the owner allows hunting on the land then Brokejaw maybe needs to sell and move to a more friendly anti firearm anti hunting place like CAlifornia?
We hunt on 280 acres bordering other property on all 4 sides of course and have no problem with neighbors. In fact, there are always several hunting partys on ajacent land. As a responsible hunter, knowing the approximate location of other hunters and proximity to homes and livestock is always a #1 priority. A party of 4 can safely hunt on 280 acres. So how can a party of 10 on 2500 acres be a danger to ajacent property? Only if the ajacent property owner is anti gun and anti hunting.
Elitists cannot tell us what to do with our property if the activity is legal. 2nd Amendment is still legal. Hunting licenses are still for sale. Hunting is still legal. Brokejaw loses.
I guess I will be the one who understands Tom's fears. I moved this summer into the Sierra Nevada, and it is deer season. I am afraid to go outside sometimes, and fear for my dogs because there is shooting all around me. Think how you would feel. It is close to my home, and it is freaky and scary to me too.

Judge favors Brokaw in hunting dispute
LIVINGSTON, Mont. -- A Wyoming outfitter's request to bring more hunters on land next to the Montana ranch of NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw poses a safety threat to Brokaw, his family and employees, a judge here ruled.
District Judge Randall Spaulding ordered the Montana Board of Outfitters to revoke David Nelson's additional permits to guide big-game hunting trips on land bordering Brokaw's West Boulder Ranch near here.
"We're very happy with the decision," Brokaw told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "We want to reiterate that this is not about trying to stop all hunting by any means. ... Our concern is about the safety of an out-of-state outfitter bringing hunters to an area they were likely not familiar with."
The Montana State Board of Outfitters in September granted Nelson, an outfitter from Sheridan, 10 additional big-game hunting permits on 2,700 acres owned by Brokaw's neighbor, Chuck Reid. According to court documents, the permits would have allowed hunting anywhere on Reid's land, which nearly surrounds Brokaw's ranch.
Brokaw sought a judge's order to prevent the increased hunting, citing the danger posed by high-powered rifles.
In his ruling, dated Friday but released Monday, Spaulding ruled that "serious safety reasons ... exist and require a permanent injunction against Mr. Nelson."
Nelson did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment Monday.
Unless Mr. Johnston can bet his life that the bullets won't leave the property, this not about his property rights and Brokaw has a case.
Anyone see "King of the Hill" Sunday night? It was about big city liberals moving to Montana and screwing everything up. Pretty darn prescient if you ask me.
