BLM rule change proposal will be bad for hunt on Public land

[Left Hand Dave]

According to the views of non-resident hunters shared in the thread below this is none of my business. No BLM where I hunt and the fed lands elsewhere are not for me.

Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

If you are a concerned nonres and have years of applications and $ invested into the Wyo pref pt system....especially for the Big 5 species you can submit comments directly to the Task Force for the July 8th meeting. You must do this by 5:00 pm on July 6th! 90:10 would cut nonres limited tags...

This is EVERYONES business!! An alphabet arm of the government is yet again creating a solution to a problem we don't have and giving preference to special interest. A back handed grab at your rights.

The optimistic part of me says it doesn't sound too bad. The realistic part of me knows this is full of ESG terminology and will be twisted to turn BLM lane into wilderness essentially. Lately my optimism is shrinking.

My thanks to the OP for the thread. This proposed rule was flying under the radar for me.

As a Wyomiing resident I was so ****ed about them changing things up and screwing the non residents who apply. Any resident who made a comment to me about non residents being angry I told them they would be too if after years of applying they finally had points to draw and then they got hosed with changes and then had feweer opportunities they'd be ****ed too. Especially at the costs that non residents pay.

I also thought it bull that Wyoming's charging non residents to horn hunt and fhey can't horn hunt for 10 days after residents can. I hope Wyoming loses money and tourism when they do that. My brother in law is a non resident and he uas spent lots of $ here. No more.

Well, the comment period closed on 6/20 or 15 days after the last public meeting, so a little late. But I'm more concerned with some of these comments and the thoughts of those making them. Take this one for example:
View attachment 472106

They state that clear cutting creates 5x higher carbon losses than the same stand burning down. The trees are still dead and a carbon loss, so apparently the poster of this comment is lacking the oxygen in their brain that these trees used to produce. It's people like this that are going to promote the closures and there's a lot of them out there.

Just like Yellowstone. They let old timber stands burn to the ground. A waste of building lumber and now new forest is growing. Instead of select cut during the winter, they just let burn to the ground. It looks like that they have their heads stuck in the mud again to get a clear line of sight.

JMHO.......But I think this rule is a bunch of crap, this public land is owned by taxpayers,
and only overseen by the BLM.........How can they get away with such a rule,
someone please enlighten me.........Please not "Just because they can"

 

[purpledragon]

We really enjoyed our trips to WY. for our Antelope hunts!!!!!!

BLM needs to have their posterior handed to them, legally of course... SCOTUS has under review a sweeping review of Agency's overstepping their authority. We'll see...

 

[Mike Matteson]

Might want to read and edit your comments as they are not very well proofed.

He's not an English Major! Me neither.

BLM Public Lands Rule moves closer to implementation - The Wildlife Society

With the formation of a Federal Advisory Committee, the BLM’s Public Lands Rule is one step closer to implementation

I see what they're after.
If new development is created on BLM land, like a solar energy development, for example, then land elsewhere would be set aside for conservation to mitigate any development impacts.
