Say it aint so....
Here in Wyoming the BLM (Chris Hansen - Director of the Buffalo BLM office) is doing everything in their power to shut down EXISTING drilling for Coal-Bed Methane(Natural Gas).
The excuse is the Sage Grouse population going down. Must be why Wyoming INCREASED the bag limit on the birds during hunting season.
Like they say here in the West: You have Pine Pigs(USFS), Prarie Pigs (BLM), and Park Pigs (NPS) and none of them are your friends....
That made me laugh!
Another Freeper said these guys treat the areas as their own personal fiefdom. Sad.
