I'm 45. Started hunting at 3. Big game, birds, fur, everything. Still hunt with some of the guys I did at 3. But we never talked, or honestly thought about how much we did on public ground. I have ranching friends, wool growing family. Utah kid. I know about the frustration, deservedly so, with BLM.
I saw Randy on fresh tracks, I was growing real tired of theme song, posse, multiple replay kill shot shows. I nearly died to see a dude wander around in the snow, and kill nothing, and that was the episode. I started to look for him.
Like I said, Utah kid. SFW had started in my area, I know the originators, and while their prop 5 stuff was golden, was disgusted at what they became, what they pushed.
I was reading some comments that Randy had made about there is NO GREY AREA. It was a lightening bolt. I'm still not a backpacker, still drive sxs, etc, but keeping it public needed to be #1 in front of all the other noise that fractures us.
Some guys might recognize my "name" as being a resident flame thrower on Monster Muleys. What you don't know is Randy drops PM to me encouraging the continual preaching on public land.(my personality ain't his fault though). I joined BHA because Randy did. I learned about TRCP from Randy.
So, here it is Xmas eve. Today I just wanted to PUBLICALLY thank Randy for making it OK to piss off folks. Ok to go after politicians. OK to make land issue #1.
Thanks.
Nick
Oh ya, my 8 yr old shit bricks with the wolf shitting rainbows on 60 min last night, so thanks randy for teaching my boy that!
