One of my coworkers is Mormon, an honest practicing mormon. I asked him today if the church owns property, besides the land the churches are on. He said yes. They have farms, ranches, etc. I'm assuming that some of the places they own is, or could be good trapping. I'm also assuming that the church doesn't just own land in Utah. So my question is, do any of you trap on Mormon church land? Do you know anyone who traps on church land? Looking for anyone who might have experience/info on this subject. TIA

Largest cow/calf operation in the country by a long ways the last time I looked. They bought a ranch east of me a few years ago. If I wanted to trap it I would go ask the guy that manages it. Boss has met him and some guys I know have day worked for him. There's a family of Mormons we neighbor to that own their ground and manage a ton of other range land owned by individuals in the Mormon Church. Nice approach able people. Reasonably sure they would give me permission if I'd ask especially if I offered to help some during shipping.

I know of some Mormons who have a hunting lease (for guiding) on a 20,000 acre spread owned by the Mormon church in Utah. I seriously doubt that anyone other than a mormon would be able to strike that deal. Trapping?? I don't know about a non-mormon gaining access, particularly if a mormon church member wanted to trap the same piece of ground. They are pretty protective of their own kind.

A Mormon would have first right. Around here their just isn't very many to compete with.

The way I understand it a good mormon deeds all his land to the church. Think taxes. Think control. The guy doing the deeding lives there and treats it like his own but it belongs to the church. All money goes to the church. The church gives it back as charity.

All money goes to the church. The church gives it back as charity. They also have forced tithing of 10% of income. It's quite a racket. If you don't follow the rules of the "church," they can just take away everything from you. And of course they can change the rules any time they want. Brigham Young was brilliant and self-serving in the extreme, and that has carried down through the ages. Other than the fact that he had 27 wives and 62 children. Not sure how brilliant that would be.

To think they’re nothing but big business with tax breaks is hilarious. Honestly, think of how much the tax breaks because of religion costs you guys. It costs us too, but if you want to whine about tax stuff, start there.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
