Boebert's replacement, Hurd the turd, introduces bill to curtail hunting and fishing on BLM lands.

[elkduds]

Colorado congressman who replaced Boebert has introduced a bill that would eliminate BLM recreation facilities along the Arkansas River. This administration wants to erase public lands. In addition to wasting a decade's worth of the local BLM Field Office’s time and resources, this bill would…

• • eliminate all 114,700 acres of Lands with Wilderness Characteristics (LWC),
  • eliminate all of the 87,400 acres of recently designated priority hunting and fishing areas (Backcountry Conservation Areas),
  • slash Recreation Management Areas from 71,400 acres to 15,300 acres,
  • eliminate all 60 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers, which is predominantly made up of the Arkansas River for its recreational values,
  • slash Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) from 101,500 acres to 34,800 acres, and
  • undermine the South Park Master Leasing Plan, formed by local community input.

And what a surprise...there's an "R" next to his name on this bill.

Why??

Why??

Because all of those things listed, in some way, restrict access for energy development.

Ostensibly. In fact it is retribution against the previous administration and land preservation movements in general. Also a payback to the big oil/gas donors that paid to elect his ignorant ass.
