There are so many units in the states out there that may (currently) be 40% public but only say…15% is accessible due to the checkerboard pattern of parcels. This would be absolutely a good thing and would decrease pressure a fair amount IMO on the existing accessible parcels of public land.
All these years and the checker board land owners prohibiting tax payers from entering public land ? Class action suites could be brought by Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation , Safari Club , The National Wildlife Association , Ducks Unlimited , NRA and many more ? These groups together could mount a substantial case against the status quo !
While the general membership total is driven by the mass $20 – $35 general membership … the majority of the funds collected by these nonprofits often come from the top 10% of donors. I bet the old 80:20 rules is pretty close to actual. This may be why many of these organizations sit on the fence on this issue.
Look at becoming a member of the TRCP … Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Program. TRCP is truly about public land fishing and hunting and access.
Scroll down on the TRCP web page and you will see a major effort of this organization is unlocking public lands for improved access.
