I’ve seen you state this many times, but you haven’t provided 1 piece of evidence to the contrary. We all want to believe the states wouldn’t sell the land but the history paints a very different, bleak picture.
Shit in one hand and make a wish in the other and see which one fills up faster.
I could be crazy but I think these two will be a similar score. The long times and the mass will make up for the additional points on the 12? I think they will both be close to or beat your 152.
I sit on a few committees that are made up of multiple county officials. One has 16 counties one has 5 counties. Getting things done in the committee with the larger numbers is not easy. That committee includes counties with 15-20x the population than my county we all do a wonderful job, but...
In Iowa yes, sometimes, but there are caveats and depends on what money is used to purchase the land. If REAP funds are used to purchase land there is money set aside to pay the taxes. But often the tax money lost by the county is negligible when land is bought by or donated to a public entity...
Iowa had nearly a $3.7 billion budget surplus ending fy 23. So Iowa supporting the transfer of Federal public land so they can better support themselves financially is a horrible argument and Iowa has very little Federal public land to sell so that support would not get them far.
@Big Fin
I see on the recent lawsuit from Utah that 14 other states have signed on with them including my state, Iowa, which has no BLM land that I am aware of and very little federal public land at all (a little Nps, army corps, and Usfws). What do you think the states with no blm land like...
@AlexRMEF We just did both last week. Alaska air cargo for 618lbs from Kodiak to anc with hazmat was $425. A 68 lb cooler of meat checked on Alaska airlines from Kodiak to Minneapolis was $100. 618/425= .69 $100/68=.68

It’d be more Wisconsinish if he’d faked his death and all that and it was found out he was just on a bender at the Plywood Palace and didn’t want his wife to know.
Holy sh!t! Get the gallows ready, lite the torches! How dare you think of the resource first!
As a kid we would camp on the islands in voyageurs National park every summer, multiple times a summer. It was never a problem to catch walleye, but they’d be 12-15” fish. they introduced the slot...
There are plenty of creel studies done on Mn lakes and generally I think you are correct. I would say the significant amount of pressure increase in the winter is taking a toll on populations.

I agree with Rj on the psychology of anglers wanting to be able to catch a limit, we talk about this in hunters safety classes as sportsman go through phases they call that “the limiting out phase”. but like @huntingwife said if 95% of anglers (according to Rj) can’t catch a limit of 6 in a day...
