[QUOTE="LkeAF, post: 2907203, member: 118231"] ^^ Exactly. I've been in Idaho most of my life. It and the rest of the West are not at all what they used to be. The influx of people has changed everything about it. The acceleration toward becoming homogenous and overrun is well underway. And the hunting pressure in Idaho has absolutely exploded. Surface poops and TP left behind are becoming more and more common just like trails turned into roads by OHV's and pristine fields turned into new campsites by ignorant campers (often hunters). It is quickly being loved to death by people that have no idea how or interest in taking care of public land. Still, for many people coming from crappier places they think it's awesome, while having no idea how different it was even just 10 years ago. Where I live, we've had Californians coming here since they put the first chairlift in 80+ years ago. In the last few years it's become mostly Texans as they have apparently filled up CO now. You can pick on places where people come from, but the bottom line is there are just too many people. But that's a conversation about breeding and over-population and that's something that we cannot discuss in this country. I digress. Living surrounded by public land, I get to see it everyday. I know I'm blessed, but sometimes it feels like a curse seeing how stupid people are when it comes to taking care of public land. Enjoy your move and hope you find your field of dreams out here.
