How soon they forget.

Almost 70,swore the oath 4 times. 20 years as a Park Ranger.
"From my cold dead hands, will you take my Public Lands"

I never un-swore the oaths.

Trump on Mt Rushmore?

Yes, he has people convinced. How?

While admitting I don't have any data to back it up, my recollection is that when polled americans routinely value their public lands highly. We aren't far east but I see this often with our extensive state park system. They are HEAVILY used and loved, and anyone proposing to degrade them or sell them best be prepared for a serious backlash. I do wish our wildlife areas and state and national forests got as much love but we aren't quite at the same level...but the potential is there with repeated messages of value...which includes monetizing their value, something that we do too little of.

I think most Americans think of Yellowstone or their favorite state park when it comes to public land. Everyone loves those places. Those places aren’t on the chopping block. They definitely are not thinking of blm land in Nevada and they are not passionate about that land to make phone calls to their representatives.

I do think some sort of national social media campaign could be successful though.

Not to mention the BLM beach front lands in LA (Lower Alabama).

I think you are right about promoting national land through social media. And now you have me wondering just exactly what can I do personally. (In addition to sitting on this forum and bitching a lot, of course.)

I’ve wondered the same thing, I know this is an excuse but I have no social media and no followers. I’m not that useful when it comes to that kind of thing

But…I think of one could coordinate a hunting, fishing, orv/overland, hikers, backpackers, mountain bikers, canoers, rv campers, etc to do some sort of save our public lands it could be incredible.

If a social media campaign was able to end Brittany Spear’s conservatorship surely it can be used for something that matters.

I’m of the same opinion. Inclusivity towards a common end will prevail over the loud minority. I will add that all business interests shouldn’t confine their minds to a land transfer for short end (their own) goals, but continue Federal conservation for posterity. These lands are for all citizens to use, be it elk hunting, grazing rights, rock climbing or a mine. It’s far better for everyone to lobby as a unified voice than to have disparate groups who don’t normally associate.

I'm a veteran and a federal employee, you dont see me crying about any of it. You and a few others go on every thread and rant your bullshit. No one wants to see or read about your political opinions. Its a $*)Q!#@$ hunting forum. Bring your shit to facebook.

That's funny because the current political situation is why this thread is here.

A copper mine near my house was approved this week. It had been denied twice and was a dead project.

It’ll be 7 square miles of strip mining in prime elk habitat.

I know of a couple places like that. I’d give my left nut to be able to hunt them. Even after the mining was done
