As a lifelong hunter, fisherman, outdoor enthusiast and Utahn (also a Republican), I rely on Western-state public land for my activities. It is angering and dismaying to see crackpot Bundy-type “militia” groups, entitled-feeling ranchers, and hubristic Utah and other Western politicians (including my own representatives) attempt to take that land from me. National Forest, BLM, and other public land belongs to all Americans, not just a few with self-serving interests. It’s a national heritage and what makes the West the West.
