What Do You Utahns Think Of Senator MIKE LEE And His PUBLIC Land Sale Bill?

[holmesac89]

I know they hunt. I’ve just never heard any pro public land position come from either of them.

And what is “Hunternation”? I saw Mike Lee’s post about “I hear you, Hunternation”, but I thought he was referring to hunters as a group who were being very vocal. Is this an actual organization? what do they do? Who is a member?

I had never heard of Hunter Nation prior to this either. I thought the same thing when I read Lee's post and then eventually discovered it was an organization. I'm guessing they got a voice because Jr is on the board despite no one I know having ever heard of them before.

Just doing the same thing a few orgs did with the wolf thing back when they were delisted.

Let everyone else put their necks out and do the dirty work. When it looks like it’s going to succeed, jump in last second so it looks like you were the one that got it all done.

Yep. Shades of same shady leadership at SFW/BGF that was in bed with UT politicians. The folks that tried to oppose the glorious simpson/teller rider that delisted northern rockies wolves and then skimmed millions off taxpayers still for further wolf delisting efforts..

To fight protections for wolves, Utah gave a nonprofit $5M. An audit says it’s ‘difficult to pin down’ how the taxpayer money was spent.

A recent audit found that questions about how an anti-wolf group spent taxpayer money "remain unanswered."

NRA, SCI, and CSF Disavow Misleading Press Release:

Today the National Rifle Association, Safari Club International and the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation publicly disavowed a misleading press release distributed on Friday, March 11th to congressional offices and other outlets. The press release blatantly misrepresents the position of these organizations regarding legislation to delist gray wolves under the Endangered Species Act.

The draft release was circulated by an individual representing Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife and Big Game Forever. The individual representing these two groups was immediately advised to remove the aforementioned organizations named in the release. Unfortunately, he did not, and the release was transmitted without correcting the inaccurate information.

The release in question claimed that the NRA, SCI and CSF along with the other organizations listed below are opposed to language relating to the delisting of gray wolves in spending legislation currently pending before the U.S. Congress. In fact, these organizations support that language, as well as every other measure that has been introduced in the U.S. House and Senate to date addressing this important issue.

Congressional offices and members of the media should exercise caution in accepting as fact, or repeating, any claims made by Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, Big Game Forever or any person claiming to represent them. Due to the blatant misrepresentation contained in the press release circulated by these two groups, any claims they make in the future should be thoroughly investigated and independently confirmed.

Wolves are/were a cash cow for both their supporters and non supporters. Delisting them meant a few hunting orgs didn’t have the easy “we are fighting to delist wolves, give us money” marketing anymore.
