HB37

[Gorgefish]

It's really easy to post a one sided argument and force words down the throat of uneducated people. What this article fails to mention is the compensation that ALL these landowners are receiving. What is that they will ask????? Millions of dollars in our licensing fees and hunting permit fees which have cared for and enhanced all the outdoor activitites they enjoy on and around their "private waters." With exception to very few ranches and landowners who actually have put their own money into restoring habitat and wildlife, all others are benefiting greatly from habitat restoration projects, fish stocking programs, and an overall greater awareness from the public in protecting and preserving our waterways in Utah. Don't get me wrong I am a strong beleiver in private property rights, and am just as ticked off as the next guy to see tresspassers. But, when someone tells us as outdoorsman that we cannot access a resource we paid for to be both protected and enhanced, you better believe you're going to have a fight on your hands.
