Its not just hunters that care about public lands, and also not hunters that are going to keep them intact.That sounds good but keeping public lands in public hands takes more then just residents, especially residents in the west that have a minority representation. Sounds great to have a vast pool of tags available but what would they matter if there’s no where to go or very limited public land?
Western states need NR states support or these lands that will eventually go to the highest bidder in time and really what will it matter to NR that never step foot in these states.
What are there, 10-12 million hunters in the US? Total population is 340 million? Advanced math, 1 out of every 34 Americans hunt...
Not enough to sway the issues of public lands on their own, by a long shot.
