That land was stolen from the Criollos and then used the blood of immigrants to acquire wealth. Turner wildlife ranched and managed it for maximum antler growth for maximum profit.

The land on the Colorado side (ironically owned by. Frenchman billionaire) was donated to the state to be made into the second largest state park in Colorado. The French guy’s family understands better than the Turners. He’s a rich guy who exploits Colorado and New Mexico wildlife selling premium hunts to other millionaires. Glad you drank the Kool Aid. My family has been here since the 1500’s. I go back to the Criollos. I’m not drinking it.
