Billionaire Wilks brothers buy 24,500 acre ranch in southeastern Montana; take it out of block management

It’s sad to see good ranch land being bought up by billionaire absentee landowners especially when they take away the ability of the public to access the land for hunting.

In September of this year, the billionaire Wilks brothers, notorious for buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of ranch land in central and eastern Montana, purchased the 24,500 acre Diamond Ranch in Rosebud County in southeastern Montana. The Diamond Ranch is located west of the Tongue River and Rosebud Creek flows through it. It’s quite spectacular country, you can see some pictures of it here.

The Billings Gazette reported in October of 2014 that the Wilks brothers own more than 341,845 acres in Montana.*
