I value our natural treasures, I spend time in wild places, and I have a deep respect for ethos that encourage leaving no trace, and making sure it was better than when you found it. I also know that resources can be used with minimal impact, and by folks who are true outdoorsmen as opposed to well healed intellectuals who would rather 'wax poetic' over the musings of John Muir then spend time in the wild.
There is no call for this action, other than a lobby group with money showed up at a lawmakers office.
Curtis, sounds to me that you're a "conservationist". I share your and others in this forum's views in respect to enjoying our great outdoors responsibly. As sportsmen, we strive to conserve the resources that we derive our pleasure, and for some their livelyhood, for today and future generations. Unfortunately, we are forced to share it with others whose views differ drastically. I hope I didn't offend you, but "environmentalist" is such a dirty word in my head.
