Hunt $ in question?
hdshot:
Unfortunate information of the possible future for our public lands.
“birds that don’t stay on the refuge or that aren’t available for hunters or closures of visitor centers and reduction in access.”
“State agencies that depend on funding from the wildlife and fisheries restoration accounts, called Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson, respectively, are reporting stoppages”
“These funds are critical for supporting state habitat work, public-land acquisitions, stocking programs, hunter education, new shooting ranges”
“Ultimately, hunters and anglers are going to pay the price in less access, less opportunity, and less service from state agencies.”
“Federal grant money funds not only state conservation projects and programs, but also state agency staff positions.”
“Conservation delivery may shift from the public sector to the private sector“

This read seems for you lawyers but basically saying our public lands are being looked at in ways we never dreamed of before?
“public land is one way to pay down the estimated $36 trillion national debt.“
“Looking at our public lands as part of a balance sheet? That’s *censored* that’s never been said out loud before.”
“Conceivably Congress could say that it wants to dispose of 1.5 million acres of public land to offset proposed tax cuts,” says Willms. “They would then identify a process to do that. If that happens, your firewalls look a lot different.”

Hope the gubmnt gets top dollar for the acreage. Pay down some debt. Fund some programs for less fortunate. Kinda useless land anyway if it ain't producing or supporting growing population.
Stein:
Oh, I wouldn't bet the big $$ behind this isn't looking at prime land. They have been working on it for years and unfortunately this may be the opportunity they have been looking for. It would be horrific if it happens.

Don’t blame Trump for this, government has been doing this for years.
“Dismantle. Defund. Divest. Starve a government agency until it’s worthless, then get rid of it. That’s exactly what we’re seeing right now with our public-lands agencies. The Trump administration is going on an all-out assault on government, and one of the easiest ways you make people mad at government is to make it dysfunctional.”

Not hard to make it look dysfunctional. It should be ran like a well oiled machine, just like any successful private business.
