Tejano, North America, no matter how many times the Greens describe someplace as "America's Serengeti," isn't Africa. Not even in Texas where they have exotics (I'm okay with that, by the way). But the landscape is such, with 83 million acres of USFS in Class 3 condition (meaning unprecedented fire conditions, completely unnatural), with megafires immolating miles upon miles of sage (and further affecting the sage grouse, with all the implications of THAT) -- if we are going to have fires, they need to have their fuel loads adjusted so the resulting fires don't destroy what we want to keep, and KNOW we need to keep. Again, the tribes have already figured this out. They don't have to listen to the white Greens, and don't. They do it their way, and pretty effectively. They don't manage for pure profit, but they do manage so that the outcomes are worth the effort input. And states have to manage for the long term and at least break even or generate schools revenue. Most of them succeed quite well. You can't say that for very much of what happens on federal lands.
Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.
