This is a very devicive issue and I feel like many have made up there minds on the subject. This post is addressed to those of you that detest the idea of the State of Utah and other western states assuming management of these lands. We know this will eventually lead to the sale of massive amount of public land the resource extraction companies, special interest groups, and most likely many of our state political leaders and their buddies. I have been watching this issue and feel that while of us oppose it we constantly get snubbed by our political leaders with draft letters telling us how wrong we are. I feel like we need to better organized and more proactive.
I have become impressed with the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA) organization. Their main focus is on maintaining access to public land for those of us that enjoy hunting, fishing, and camping on the land. I recommend everybody check them out and join if this is an issue that is important to you. It is only when we voice our concern as a group that we will make our misguided politicians listen to us. Much like other "conservation" groups in the state that support the transfer of public assets to private entities.
I realize this has the potential to blow up into a big, insulting debate amongst our members. My only request is that each take their time to check out BHA and consider their mission and if it is important to you.
