I do hope you are not against ranchers making money, and I am betting you are not. Hunters and landowners can have a symbiotic relationship because depredation of grazing land and hay can be a serious issue for ranchers. You need some ranchers as friends not enemies.
The lands in Federal hands issue is a far more serious one. WY is one of the twelve Western States that did NOT get their promised lands at Statehood thus the Fed holds lands it should not, making your state a welfare state looking to the federal government for support, and making it difficult to meet the demands of state agencies to actually support the needs of WY.
In the past it has not been too serious an issue as you are fortunate to be blessed with lots of energy, however, with the energy sector in decline it may be an issue and this year is a budget year for your State Legislature. The last thing any state needs is contention among citizens and ranchers. They should exist in perfect harmony or close to it.
I do not live in Wyoming, my husband hunts there. And from what we have seen, the ranchers charge a fortune ( which is their right) to hunt on their private land. It is basically welfare to hand over public land to ranchers, because they are getting something for next to nothing. As soon as you give a lease to ranchers, they will kick out hunters, just like they try to do on BLM land, by stating to hunters that it is private land.
It does not matter to me if the state owns the land. It does matter to me when ranchers are trying to use the land for profit, and try to exile everyone else from using it.
