Although I question the motive behind this, there is no question about the frustration of rural communities that are dependent on natural resources. It is easy for urban type folks with no ties to the land to bemoan harvesting of natural resources. I know what you are going to say: " I hunt and fish on that public land so I have an incredible understanding of it". As you drive a your truck,boat bike or whatever to your destination. Guess what? If it isn't grown, it has to be mined. There should be more collaboration with the communities that are affected by the federal land management agencies.
