A lot of state land in the west is either off limits to hunting (CO, WY, etc) or is severely restricted in terms of use. Rany's podcast really does a good job of highlighting those differences.

Plus, you essentially take land that is owned by every American and hand it over to the government of each state, growing the state gov't exponentially and causing a huge influx in spending. No economic study has shown this to be feasible unless unicorns fart gold coins and oil stays above $100 per barrel for eternity.

When the bill comes due, that will be the only option people will be left with. Nobody will want to pay the bill through increased taxes on their families.

Recent fire years show that it would come due sooner rather than later.

I feel weird, is it because we agree on something?
