Trumps Cabinet is putting his America First policies into place, including at the Department of Interior, where Secretary David Bernhardt announced a plan to open up more than 1.4 million acres of federal land through the elimination of some 7,500 regulations. The land, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, includes 74 national wildlife refuges and 15 national fish hatcheries.
Bernhardt said:
President Trump is committed to expanding public access on public lands, and this proposal is executing on that directive by opening and increasing more access to hunting and fishing by the Fish and Wildlife Service at more stations and across more acres than ever before. Hunting and fishing are more than just traditional pastimes as they are also vital to the conservation of our lands and waters, our outdoor recreation economy, and our American way of life.
These refuges and hatcheries provide incredible opportunities for sportsmen and women and their families across the country to pass on a fishing and hunting heritage to future generations and connect with wildlife, Bernhardt said.

Have your Will in order before you try the .308 pick.
From 50 yards itll be fine. Ive got some copper solids that go right through 1/2 steel plate.
Not that Id ever damage FS property. That would be bad.

Woody Guthrie is rejoicing “this land was made for you and me!”
Again, I don’t believe you have seen the padlock protection
system for the FS locks. At 50 yards there will nothing left of your copper solid bullet that could damage the padlock after it went through the steel cover. It might even make it more difficult to open.
They also have their own special keys. If you get caught with one your in big trouble.
7500 removed, how many remain?
It is insane that we could possibly have so many “Regulations” (Bureaucratic infringements on our freedom) in a “Free” society.
One of my worst peeves is the overbearing abuse of bureaucratic power to implement or redefine “Regulations” without congressional oversight, or really even participation, beyond passage of the alleged “Law” enabling the bureaucracy.
Our Pres. and elected reps come and go, but Bureaucracy is a CAREER!
Yup, A master key will open all their locks on any particular
National Forest.
7500? Just goes to show you that bureacrats justify their jobs by writing new, obtrusive regulations.
Aww damn! I want pretty much ALL the regs repealed.
I not particularly against these gates being locked at certain times.
Last year during that extreme fire season they had volunteers going around checking back roads. One happens to be a person I work with in the woods. He personally put out over 20 unattended fires in that period.
These people go out and camp and start a campfire and then think its OUT, then it sits and smolders for a day or so. Some, he put out were actually burning. I believe they reported on the news that there were in excess of 300 unattended campfires statewide that were put out.
Then comes winter. Snow is deep on the roads and they have to run those roads with their pickups. They get stuck and sometimes 30 to 40 miles out in the middle of no place.
Other than that, if these ignorant people would do as they are supposed to do, there would be no need for ANY gates.
But, sometimes, its pure ignorance by the USFS when they lock these gates. No reason whatsoever at certain times.
While everyone is distracted by noise, the Trump Administrations real achievements have been the most quiet: deregulation and appointment of federal circuit and district judges,
Repeal, deregulate!!!
Next, we need to undo the California Desert Protection Act, at least all of the new “Wilderness” areas. The Dems did this in 1994, just before they lost both houses of Congress, and they locked up tens of millions of desert as wilderness. It was basicaly a f-u to fellows like me who like jeeps.
Probably not.
Woody Guthrie was a socialist. His interpretation of that song was exactly the same as those of the Watermelon Party all property (land) belongs to the people (aka government).
Regardless, let the States monitor their own territories, not empty-suit Washington DC bureaucrats.
Man I never knew that about Guthrie.
Here’s a snip from wiki:
Notwithstanding Guthrie’s later claim that “the best thing that I did in 1936 was to sign up with the Communist Party”,[29] he was never a member of the Party. He was noted as a fellow traveleran outsider who agreed with the platform of the party while avoiding party discipline.[30] Guthrie wrote a column for the Communist newspaper, People’s World. The column, titled “Woody Sez”, appeared a total of 174 times from May 1939 to January 1940. “Woody Sez” was not explicitly political, but was about current events as observed by Guthrie. He wrote the columns in an exaggerated hillbilly dialect and usually included a small comic.[31] These columns were published posthumously as a collection after Guthrie’s death.[7] Steve Earle said of Guthrie, “I don’t think of Woody Guthrie as a political writer. He was a writer who lived in very political times.”[32]
.......
Yes, it is sad. The guy wrote and sang some uplifting music when the common man really needed it.
But, a lot of people fell for socialist propaganda at that time as they do now. And the people today do not have an economic depression as an excuse.
If you have a picture of one Id be very interested to see it.
Thanks,

I like the way you think.
Sherwood Forest will never be the same!
Has the Sheriff of Nottingham been informed?
