It seems mike lee is a big proponent of selling off the land...
which would likely get bought by hedge funds and equity firms, not individuals...
who would then lock it up for themselves or developement.
I would like more lands open up for use, but not for sale like this.
“This e-mail upset me to no end. “
Calm down. Bad for your heart.
You would not believe how many calls and mailers I get weekly to sell my lots and my own home.
Vultures.
Theodore Roosevelt had his own private ranch in North Dakota of considerable acres. He was wise in preserving some of the most unique places like Yellowstone as a national park but having the government lock up resources and curtail wise usage of vast swaths of our western states was never part of his plan.
Biil Gates and his globalist cabal and the chicoms will ALL love this action...
We no longer go to Cabelas ....too expensive.
Where does that come from and is that for real? And for whom does it generate this? Are they saying it is revenue to the Federal government?
From a family of hunters. Cabelas was always a mainstay in our home growing up. And LL Bean.

Bingo. If the land is truly something special (a national treasure), rent out the mineral and logging rights. And demand good stewardship. But do not sell it.
Cabellas ceased being Cabela’s when BassProShop bought them. Sad day.
$25 county tax on guns in Cook County, IL. I warned the dumb bastards at Cabelaas when they decided to open a store there. They didn’t listen. 10 minutes away...no tax.
That is why this is happening.
I agree with your take on the issue.
Chill yourself
I’ve bought used guns from them, never new guns. Their new gun mark-up is too high.

“I would like more lands open up for use, but not for sale like this.”
Reauthorize the Homestead Act that allowed individuals to settle on defined plots of surplus government land. If they lived on it, and improved it, they could acquire title to it.
Make the land grants small, limit them to individuals, require the individuals to live on the property for a defined period of time, and require improvements to be made. Also require American citizenship. Possibly also include a minimum number of years before the land can be sold. These restrictions will keep out the foreign companies, hedge funds and billionaires like Bill Gates.

On the parent company of Bass Pro and Cabelas.
Note that Heels Up got more money than Trump.
I like the FLTFA approach and agree with what Bass Pro is doing here.
Nonsense. With a little investment we can turn Yellowstone into the theme park it was always meant to be. I’m talking bison rides and a moose roundup sure to thrill. With a black bear petting zoo on the side.
