whats going to get interesting? if hunters would file more lawsuits we wouldnt be losing public land daily...

And if Fat-Assed ATV riders wouldn't be on our Public Lands, we wouldn't be losing habitat, range, animals, and hunting opportunities....

if it wasnt for fat assed atv riders who have deeper pockets then most hunters we would have lost our land already (who files lawsuits to save land Dirt bikers or Hunters) I got news for you,..... NOT HUNTERS !!!

Would it be possible for you to give us a list or summary of these wonderful suits filed on behalf of hunters by the "sharetrails" org? And could you also share with us what reason anybody would need to put their fat-ass on an ATV to hunt???

THE OWYHEES IS ONE........they were going to file in circuit court if it would have went any further.

So in order to hunt in the Owyhees, one must have an ATV? And we should thank the Blue Ribbers for protecting our right to sit on an ATV while hunting??

Still waiting to see what the Blue Ribbers have done that is positive for hunting.

But, while you are looking up legal proceedings with the Blue Ribbers, how is that executive of the BRC doing with his legal battle for illegal outfitting???
 
EG, Buzz, Ithaca, et. al.

Looks like you have a new plaything. I bet all of you are licking your chops for this one. You should get all the lingo on the table now: Blue Ribbers, Fat Assed, Ass Clown etc. etc. :D

Nemont,

You know me, I am always looking for opportunities to learn. This is great that SageGhost is going to explain all the wonderful things that the Blue Ribbers do for hunters.

And I am also glad to know that we hunters (who don't have deep pockets like the Fat-Assed ATV crowd) are able to ride on these wonderful "stewards of the range's" coattails.

And I think Sageghost brought up a wonderful idea to use lawsuits to protect hunting.... gosh, and to think that I had never even heard of that approach.

There must be many cases where the Blue Ribbers have helped hunters, as why else would it take Sageghost so long???
 
Is the BRC still a wise use member?

Understanding The Wise Use Movement


With the growth of the Wise Use movement in Minnesota, there is a need for a means of understanding what this movement is about. This page is an effort to provide information and links to stories and sites relating to Wise Use. The information provided by the sites, and the opinions and events related by the authors, are their own, and are provided here solely as information for you to judge.

Groups calling themselves members of the Wise Use movement represent landowners, loggers, off-road vehicle users, miners and other individuals who are often at odds with legislation enacted to protect and preserve public lands. The term "Wise Use" was co-opted from Gifford Pinchot, first chief of the Forest Service, who advocated the wise use of natural resources. Unfortunately, anti-environmental groups are committed to opening up public lands not only to harmful resource extraction, but to outright exploitation. They also seek to frighten people with paranoid stories about government take-overs, and similar delusional tales of United Nations usurpation of U.S. sovereignty.

Though their ideas are often wacky, these groups have become a thorn in the side of progressive conservation efforts. They've gained footholds in the political machine of Minnesota, particularly in the NE, NW, and SE, and they continue to organize. In general, the movement believes that the government should not own land, that private property rights need not recognize responsibilities to the common good or environment, that the authority of counties is equal to that of the state and federal governments, and that environmental laws, and those people that support them (and agencies that implement them), are the cause of all rural job insecurity. To that end, they prey upon the fears of non-unionized rural workers dependent upon natural resources, villainizing those in support of conservation and natural resource agency employees. They oppose all land use restrictions - thus wilderness designation is one of their favorite targets. But they also oppose even lesser levels of resource protection - travel restrictions on ATVs, OHVs, and personal watercraft, etc. Even the
