President Trump isn’t much of an outdoorsman, aside from golf.But maybe more than any president since Teddy Roosevelt, he understands the importance of others getting outside to boat, hunt, fish, shoot, and hike and their demands for access to federal lands and waterways.“He’s basically said...

Notice all that Southern California land opened up for us? Neither did I...again...

If they did open it up... they'd make you (the public) park your vehicles at least 7 miles away from it. AND... charge you 30 bucks a year for the "priviledge" of being able to do that.

Even though they may have already constructed a road thru it. And THEY happily can drive thru it and/or invite their personal buddies to drive thru it with them.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil...Keep sitting on your hands SoCal...

ps...We have one NWR at the Salton Sea...We get to hunt about 1% of it.

I am curious the new boundaries on the imperial wildlife refuge. Those birds stick to that thing like glue and it is a joke the “areas” they allow you to hunt. Hopefully they open some of the lower river stuff up this first season will be great.

Even though it didn’t do much for so cal, I’m just happy to see federal action in the right direction.
