One could, and it is often made. I disagree though (obviously lol). Public is public land. It’s said “you want land to hunt buy it”. The converse is no less applicable. “You want to treat that land as your own then buy it”


Well maybe you could help me figure out one of the things that's always somewhat puzzled me? What is it about being a landowner that disqualifies the landowner from having the same claim to "public" lands as the average urbanite? And what is it about the average urbanite that gives them more claim to the "public" land than the landowner that dutifully pays the rental fee to the appropriate govt agency?

They have the same rights as I do. Hunt or sunbath nude. Doesn't matter. When they lease land, what is it for? Are specifics spelled out?
