But I think you miss a major point about public lands -- they are not Idaho's or Utah's or Nevada's. They belong to the American people. It is not about dictating what you can do on your land, but what you can do on our land. You're being provincial. Just because you have the happy circumstance of living nearer to public lands doesn't mean all others should shut up.

I've been to many places in SE Idaho that my Grandpa used to graze his cattle on. They pretty much look like all the other areas around that were never used for grazing, and there are still plenty of trees to hug. |

Yep, exactly. Just consider yourself lucky, unless you really want Idaho to become the new New Jersey.

I still disagree with you about how the land should be managed because folks in the east who have never been out this way want to do things that have a real impact on my family members who depend on the federal lands for a living.

I agree that those in the West should have a large voice in how public lands within their states are managed, but it's ridiculous to maintain that the rest of the American people should shut up about how their land is managed.
I wish predators could be reintroduced in the East; problem is, the mid atlantic and southeast was never a part of the historical range of the wolf. The northeast was, and I hope, if the Maine Woods become a new national park, that the wolf would be reintroduced, if it's feasible. You all just have the lucky fortune of living in a place where it's still feasible.
