"Roadless areas, in general, represent some of the best fish and wildlife habitat on public lands. The bad news is that there is nothing positive about a road where fish and wildlife habitat are concerned -- absolutely nothing." (B&C Professor, Jack Ward Thomas, Fair Chase, Fall 2005, p.10).

It will be intresting to see what happens.
The Chairman, Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)does not have a history of being sportsman friendly however.

sportsman friendly or ATV friendly? Try not to lump everything together, you can ride an ATV and be a sportsman but because you ride an ATV doesnt make you a sportsman, contrary to popular rhetoric
