That's what they said about Arizona but the state has been trying to
Get the approval to sell land to private companies in order to generate revenue. So far we have defeated it twice but it's only a matter of time.

I think hunting is on the way out as a general public recreation

Especially (in Utah) if Utah privatizes public lands.

It is not going to be privatized if the state takes over.

I wont say that nothing will be sold but it will likely be a small amount.

There will be hunting, you'll just have to pay more to do it.

How is that a positive outcome for the average rural hunter who grew up hunting

It's not, but why should rural hunters be subsidized by the taxpayer?

LOL, so what? But, you paint too stark a picture. Plenty of non-wealthy people

Subsidy is a fine way to put it. I'm fine giving poor desert dwellers out west

I don't think the Federal government should just hand over land to the states.

2/24/17 11:42am
Of course it should. It's unconstitutional for the feds to own it.

Incorrect. The vast majority of federal land, especially in the western states,

I get a kick out of people listing court cases as if that's an argument

There's literally nothing in that phrasing that supports what you are saying

Will that mean it'll be easier or harder for me to pull a bull elk tag?

You'll get the tag easier. But where will you find the bull?

It is also a great population control method for some species like deer.
