In the area I've hunted in WY, there are roads all over on the BLM, but no access to them because they travel through private. Unless it's a County Road you're probably out of luck.
If different views and actions bear a societal cost, that should be accounted for, no?
It's all about providing incentive for people to curtail behaviors that create negative externalities(Note, that these aren't just perceived externalities.) It would provide a mechanism for compliance that...
Maybe should have read the follow up article posted in the post before yours.
"The Bureau of Land Management confirmed claims from environmental groups that many of their public comments were not included in a recent report on federal plans to revise sage grouse management in the West."
I guess I didn't listen to the same podcast. IMO Rinella was respectful and let Bishop talk, but I don't anticipate that this will be the last Rinella has to so say about this interview. Steve covered a variety of topics with him. If he were to angrily confront and condemn the 1st talking...
Just moved to NY from Utah. Pretty pleased with the amount of opportunity out here. This seems like it is increasing that opportunity. Thanks for the heads up! Would be nice to only have to wait 7 years instead of 9 to take my 5yo. out with me(when he can actually hunt, he's already been...

A little perspective goes a long ways. There have been many lawsuits regarding logging on this particular Forest. However, most, if not all have failed. Yet, the market for the lumber never seemed to unfold...
It SHOULD have an effect, but in Utah, that doesn't mean anything. Hell, my state reps and governor chased away Outdoor Retailer with their anti-public-land stance. If that doesn't faze them, I'm not sure that anything will.
Primarily BLM and USFS, but there are some State Trust Lands included. The designation documents make reference to facilitating land exchanges with the state to make up for this I believe.
Here's a pic that should instill some confidence that everything is all good with the monument reviews. Rob Bishop in jean shorts is exactly who I want to be leading Zinke's visit to the Utah monuments.
Not that I held much hope that these weren't solely agenda-driven reviews, but this is...
Emailed last night. Called today. His secretary said they have been receiving a lot of calls regarding this issue today. Sad to say, but he is the congressman for my district. I didn't vote for him, and will not ever vote for a candidate advocating for the transfer or sale of public lands.
