Innovator improves land for hunting

This morning I went to Granzella's in Williams to meet Gordon Long, whose business, Multiple Use Managers, helps ranchers and other landowners improve wildlife habitat on their properties so they can augment their income with hunting.

He said many ranchers are initially reluctant to the idea of allowing people on their property to hunt, but enough money can be made from the private hunts to make it worth their while.

Long will be the subject of my next Western Innovator feature. Look for it at CapitalPress.com in early June.
