RMEF is doing the right thing in maintaining a habitat focus.  Without functional habitat we cannot have huntable populations of game animals.  I'm not sure why that is a difficult concept.  If you want to open some roads, you should champion a reasonable piece of legislation that would get you there.  H.R. 1581 isn't good for wildlife or wild places.

We have functional habitats and we have huntable populations of game animals and prior to closing all the roads we still had functional habitats and huntable populations. This will actually help the wolves/grizzly as much or more than the elk. H.R. 1581 will basically reverse the unreasonable restrictions that have already been put in place. If there are reasonable restrictions that need to be in place to protect an area then we can introduce reasonable legislation to protect the sensitive habitat.
