The current attitude / policy toward mixed use of BLM leads me to believe the greatest intent with opening access to those lands would relate to oil, gas, mineral and other resource extraction. That would gain the political favor ... and the biking support to use those byways.I think that landlocked public lands are becoming more known outside of the hunting community. As western states become more crowded I think things are going to change.
I also think we are naive if we think that hunters are going to have huge blocks of newly opened BLM to ourselves, we will likely be sharing them with a network of biking trails or whatever.
