Anything that pew charitable trusts is involved in is questionable, they would probably eliminate the grazing in a generation and china is probably the beneficiary

Because I am a liberal I just thought you guys might want my view..lol.

Land grab? That is not what they called it when President Theodore Roosevelt created Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on August 18, 1908. A duck hunting place created by hunters for hunters. A sportsman-hunter all his life, Roosevelt also sought a chance to hunt the big game of North America before they disappeared. Fortunately only some of the big game disappeared before sportsmen adopted a conservation approach.

It looks like there will be native redband trout and one of the largest herds of California bighorn sheep in the nation. In this new hunting place they are proposing, cant complain about that.
The proposal would keep open significant roads within the Owyhee and allow traditional uses such as grazing to continue. Now this grazing thing is going to need to go! The less ranchers the better, that is less grass for big game to eat right.

This entire dine and dash thing with cliven bundy is the problem with America to day. Every body just wants a hand out from the government and from public land. The bundys wanted to graze there cattle for free. On our public duck hunting preserve, that is ridiculous.
