Grazing Lease Access - no response from leaseholders

[Macdrizzle]

Hello,

I’m a relatively new hunter and I’m looking for some clarification from the hivemind on what to do in this situation. I’m getting a lot of conflicting opinions on making contact with grazing leases. The gist of it is basically this.
- I scout via boots on the ground
- I spot game / signs of game.
- I look up whether or not that land is grazing lease.
- If/when it is a grazing lease I contact the lease holder both by phone and email.
- Never get a response back for any of the leaseholders I contact. This year I made an effort to contact early and there are leases I’ve tried contacting once a month from August to November, no response.

I was told grazing leases are crown land at the end of the day and that leaseholders must have their cattle out by Oct 31 or something and was also told if I don’t hear back then it’s a go because at the end of the day it’s taxpayer land and leaseholders can’t deny you past Oct 31. That doesn’t quite seem right to me but I have multiple sources telling me this.

I guess my question is where can I find the black and white regulations/laws surrounding access grazing leases? I want to respect the rules but the rules are not very clear. And when I do conduct my part of calling ahead I end up getting ghosted and no response. What do I do in this situation if they don’t respond?
