No More Federal Land?
« Reply #45 on: Yesterday at 08:53:20 PM »
I was wrong, it is not 11,000 acres of federal land approved for sale (mis-read the article) - it is 460,000 acres of public land to be sold.

It’s a gateway drug.

Any sportsman, hunter, fisherman, outdoorsman who’s not concerned with this clearly has the blinders on.  It’s 460k acres now. Whats it going to be next month? Another 460k in a different state? Between states like WA working to eliminate hunting and our federal govt selling off public land, we’re doomed in short order.
Unless you’re loaded and can afford to buy your own hunting paradise or pay someone else for access to theirs.
It’s a good time to be a billionaire I guess.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I love how they are selling this land in the name of affordable housing, when they build 750,000 McMansions on it is that the new measure of affordable?
