Oh, the irony!
Hunters, campers, etc… I suspect it would be very unpopular. I’m not sure it is necessarily a fair assumption to use present state as a gauge for the future with respect to camping. Currently, countless awesome federal land camping options exist in WY- so it’s understandable that people...- Treeshark

Do you not foresee that as being political suicide? I would guess it would be very unpopular with the voters of WY.- Treeshark

You are viewing an either-or binary proposition, I’m not sure that it necessarily is.- Treeshark

It is an interesting angle for sure, I agree. It does seem to me that that transferring national forests, national parks etc is an impossibly heavy lift. Perhaps I am misguided here though, always that possibility. Out of curiosity, are these the same attorneys you consulted with on the corner...- Treeshark

It’s not something that I feel is an immanent threat, but you’re probably right about that being the end-goal.- Treeshark

Thanks Ben, I enjoyed reading that post and appreciate the time it must have taken to write that out. You made some really good points, perhaps a bit hyperbolic there at the end. But don’t we all, sometimes…😉 It seems to me there has been some fairly significant mission-creep within this thread...- Treeshark

I don’t mean to come across as pedantic, but your math assumes that every one of the 340 million people in the country pay the same amount of taxes. They do not, and close to half don’t really pay much of anything towards things like this.- Treeshark

This is what I view as inconsistent. I understand and agree with what you’ve posted regarding the respective decisions and the precedent set by each. However, not every decision reached by the SCOTUS is a good one. At the very least, they can become antiquated. My personal view is that they are...- Treeshark

Speaking for myself as a NR to all western states, it’s because hunting opportunity is unfortunately heading in a direction in which privatization may actually be a better (in some cases only) option. *I say that as a 100% public land hunter who has never taken a big game animal on private land...- Treeshark

You’re very likely right. As I said before, I am approaching this from a hypothetical position as I don’t think it is likely to come to fruition.- Treeshark

None? Like, couldn’t even pay for access? Or do you mean no public access?- Treeshark

I don’t want for that, necessarily. I operate by a code you may or may not understand. What is right? What is fair? These are the questions I lay awake at night wrestling with.- Treeshark

With all do respect, so what? If they can’t make a go of it, sell the ranch. It’s not like the US is in any sort of danger of a food shortage any time soon. We all have to make tough choices in life- it shouldn’t be up to the citizens of the rest of the country to carry a business that isn’t...- Treeshark

It does not need to be sold necessarily. If that’s what states decide, that’s what states decide. Just like wildlife management, that should be left up to the residents of each state. It’s the only logically consistent arrangement.- Treeshark

There are of ways for states to make money off of public lands. I can think of a big one right off the top of my head- seeing as this is a hunting forum, I bet you could even guess what it is!😎- Treeshark
