The Biden administration has repeatedly prioritized policies critics argue are politicized environmental efforts which will make conservation and recreational activities on public lands more difficult.
Rules coming down from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could make land unavailable for hunting, fishing and even hiking, outdoorsmen argue.
"It really seems to show to me the lack of consideration and thought that is being put in from bureaucrats from D.C. making decisions about how public lands, in the West predominantly, are being managed," Sarah Montalbano, an education policy analyst at the Alaska Policy Forum told Fox News Digital. "It's not getting a lot of input from people who are actually close to these situations."
Gabriella Hoffman, a senior fellow at the Independent Women's Forum's Center for Energy and Conservation, said the U.S. government is trying to redefine conservationism through its newly proposed Public Lands Rule, resulting in decreased access to public lands.
"When you see that they're trying to remake conservation into something else, is it really conservation or is it an alternative kind of view, environmentalism, which is preservationist, which is more restricted [and] really doesn't welcome people on the landscape and can be exploited."

Back off...just back off...already.
Remember when the public actually had access to public lands? It was a nice country we used to have.
Biden admin takes aim at hunters in latest regulation: ‘Preventing Americans from hunting’
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-takes-aim-hunters-latest-regulation-preventing-americans-from-hunting
The Biden administration announced Thursday that it is moving ahead with prohibitions on the type of equipment hunters are allowed to use on federal refuges, a move strongly opposed by sportsmen groups.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) released its 2023-2024 hunting and fishing rule — an annual plan laying out regulations for the upcoming hunting season — banning cost-effective lead ammunition and fishing tackle across eight national wildlife refuges by 2026. Such an action has been supported by eco groups, but opposed by hunters, who argue that it could serve as a backdoor attack on hunting broadly.
“This is the latest example of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service creating rules that punish hunters, threaten conservation funding and advance special interests without sound scientific evidence that traditional lead ammunition cause is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts,” said Lawrence Keane, the senior vice president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
My property backs up to a park system. They day they tell me I cannot take my morning hike is they day I defend ‘the land.’
I am Joe Public. And I paid for this land. It is mine to defend.
They want to control everything we do. It’s their idea of freedom which is, of course, slavery.
Yet they let homeless bums live on BLM property heightenig risk for wildfires.
Translation: CIS white men, go sit at home.
I don’t remember a bigger PAIN IN THE ASS Administration in my life..
They can gth, if I want to fish, I will fish. Those aren’t Caesar’s nor Joe’s fish.
Make Orwell fiction again!
Preppers...they are trying to ratchet down on preppers.
And in the backdoor way eventually saying you can’t hunt, you don’t need your gun.
See how easy that was?
The more Biden and his enablers tick off voters the better imo.
Are they going to make hunting “RATS” illegal?
Why not, nothing’s stopping them.
Still trying to force everyone into cities for ease of control?
Just shut the whole GD federal government down, for crying out loud. Can't SOMEBODY put that God damn genie back in its bottle?
You are free to do whatever we tell you that you can do.....
81 million votes and climbing…
…right…
Here comes the new green deal enrichment...
Why should they back off when the Republican congress keeps funding their radical programs? Democrats have no fear or respect for the pathetic GOP.
