Yeah, actually I do want to start comparing some things...and we'll start with who's sponsoring HR1581 and why.

They need to stick to what they "know"...and that doesnt include wildlife, land management, wildlife management, or HR1581.
They're clueless...at best.
Can you explain how HR1581 is a second amendment issue?
Some of the opinons here have followed along my lines of thinking for some time now.
As a life member and former chapter chair for the local RMEF I have become very upset over the last 2 years of the direction this organization. Reading about the RMEF support of HR 1581 put the last nail in the coffin.
I love the idea of being able to support and preserve elk habitat but RMEF has grown into something so much more. The minute RMEF started catering to special interest groups(outfitters, big money sponsors,etc) I became wary. Case in point-The wolf debate. RMEF remained neutral on this position for a good deal of time until the sponsor outfitters said they will not donate hunts/money until RMEF goes anti-wolf. Which they did. Dont read that I am somehow pro-wolf, I am most certainly not, but it was move that put me on edge. I understand completely that less wolves equals more elk and that I approve of. The part I didnt like was the way they caved right away to the money machine. In my opinion it was a step away from being a Conservation organization and a step towards being a political entity.
These are just my opinions but now my money will go to group that works to conserve habitat for average hunter use and not putting their logo on PBR and NASCAR.
Thanks guys for bringing up the issues on HR 1581 and letting us know where to help out with these issues.
Does that mean your best hunting is in real wilderness or forest service land that was once logged or protected from fire or had a road cut into it or close to it that now is closed to motored vehicles so the hunting is good for you?My best elk hunting is in a WSA.
wonder...just wonder if theres any oil and gas reserves in those WSA's?
and what kind of oil and gas reserves do you think exists under granite?
