BRAD -
Good for you! Not sure about everyone else's
State but my State of Oregon does not have
a consistent enough record of managing anything.
Our public lands are in the sights of all kinds of
special interest groups. That includes a variety of
large landowners who are working hard on inside
lame trade deals for not only landlocked parcels
but anything that looks checkerboard and has Elk
on it to a massive mountain biking lobby that wants
to party full time on all of our wild lands.
