I believe that my math is correct.

Ten million acres is the equivalent to the size of 155 Isreals.

How fast can we get rid of this POS?

"I don't see any grouse."

This is BS. I know the sage grouse is very rare in SE Washington. So why are we being discriminated against? Jug Ear could have blocked the use of at least 100 million acres in our state. Idiots

The reason I know this is BLM & various Game Wardens have told me so ;-/

Lightly seasoned - delicious!

Transfer them all to a new agency to build/repair levees and waterways under the direction of the Corps of Army Engineers. First project — a Wall along the Southern Border.

Need to change their name to BLT (Bureau of Land Theft)...that way they will be defined and will not be mistaken for the other BLM...

This is the animal they keep finding new varieties of so that they can keep it endangered even where it’s abundant?

[jch10]

Shorten the hunting season and reduce bag limits in areas where grouse have declined but the gov’t does not get the land restriction.

At the beginning of my retirement, I had a dream of raising game birds for Field Replacement! When looking at Sage Grouse and their (?) decline, I found the laws restricted that.
Never, did I find an answer.

Ten million acres removed from mining because of a stupid sage grouse?

Not removed from mining, but removed from mining by AMERICAN COMPANIES.
