    #Winning = more public land poop

    Thats an interesting chart, thanks for sharing. I see GS 13-15 positions increasing from 6.7% of the workforce to 9.1%. Each salary for a GS14 step 1 can pay for 7 seasonal GS4s.

    #Winning = more public land poop

    Even before the layoffs and seasonal hiring pause, NM had very few wilderness trail crews, and many forests relied on volunteers to perform trail maintenance. This was not ideal, as generally volunteers have far less capacity than designated trail crews, but volunteers aren't really affected by...

    #Winning = more public land poop

    Nothing as big as the Bob here, but we're closer than you think. Bob Marshall wilderness is just north of 1 million acres, while the Gila/Aldo Leopold complex is 768,000 acres. We also have the Pecos wilderness, which is quite a bit smaller at 223 000, but it's almost exclusively high alpine...

    #Winning = more public land poop

    I'm a FS employee who has no technicians under him, and I assure you no technicians shouldn't mean no field going employees. It just means the desk jockeys have to get outside for once.

    Comparison of Resident Opportunities in Different States

    Hi all I've been a resident hunter in 3 different states so far throughout my life, Texas, South Dakota, and New Mexico. Each state has very different experiences for their resident hunters. I find it difficult to wrap my head around what opportunities resident hunters in other states are...

    Seeking info...school trust land fee states

    Every state I've hunted in requires an extra stamp on your hunting tag if you plan on hunting on public land. We all gotta pitch in for the management of these lands.i don't think that means they aren't public.

    Gila 100

    I think planning a small hike/camping trip near the Gila Cliff Dwellings is nice. It's easy access from there to get into the wilderness and the Gila river is a very reliable water source. About an hour north of Silver City. Otherwise, you could enter through Mogollon, a cool old mining town...

    Grizzlies in the Bighorns

    I think the idea is there are areas where social tolerance will be so low that grizzlies will have a hard time establishing populations there due to deliberate human actions like harassment or poaching.
