LAST EDITED ON Feb-12-15 AT 10:47PM (MST)[p]When I first heard about Utah's desire to take control of our federal lands, I just laughed it off. But now our legislature is working to spend our money to hire lawyers to file the suit and a few members of Congress have made sympathetic proposals.
I've spoken to a couple members of our state legislature. They're under the impression that Utah hunters and anglers support this land transfer. I don't know where they got that idea, but I can guess. They're sadly mistaken.
Please come out and let Utah politicians (and everybody else) know that Utah's hunters and anglers don't support the state's misguided ambition to take control of our public lands. Bill Christensen, Regional Director for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, will be our voice among the many speakers from diverse stakeholder groups. Let's support his voice by making a strong and visible presence. Please wear camo!
