**** “Sadly the BLM higher up positions have been filled with enviro-nazis that now want to close lands that have “wilderness characteristics.” *****
Back in the day I set chokers for Loggers in or on lands like that ... Hunters bypassed those Wilderness areas because just like the Hunters the Game always chose the path of least resistance (roads and new cleared areas) and the Game Population (for Tree Huggers that means Animals) just exploded ... unfortunately over the years the Tree Huggers have won and those lands are now Off Limits.
Now they have Gates and Patrols to keep people out, back in those days they would let me cut Firewood, Camp, Hunt, Fish, Dirtbike and 4 wheel to my hearts content.
My Children will never know what it was like and to see all of that Nature, all because of the Tree Huggers wanting to “Save Nature” and then I guess keep it a big Secret that only those with some College Grant and connections can ever experience... maybe it sells more “Nature Movies / Shows” but is still sucks for my kids. Movies are one thing but being there and smelling, seeing, feeling, experiencing and living in those environs cannot be reproduced on a flat screen.
I miss the Great Northwest and Freedom (and the Sanity of the Society that I was raised in)

What good are these lands if the BLM shuts them down and keeps people off them for the “better good” that the enviro-nazis constantly try to persuade our lawmakers to enact laws for.
I spent many days each year in Eastern Oregon hunting and experiencing those sights, sounds and smells without seeing another human being or even hearing their sounds. Our kids have experienced some of it but I fear my grandkids and great grandkids will never have the privilege of the same experiences.
