The BLM operates primarily out west but there are a lot of other means of grabbing control of land. Wetlands designations, buffer zones, land trusts......
Yes Mr. GG2 is from the West and had a few run ins out there with the BLM over the years both hunting and mining. They are really bad news.
In GA we see some water issues. Nothing like out West. The EPA is going to be more of a problem here. Trying to call a ditch a stream. That kind of thing.
