"Super Range"

You would think a state that supposedly values open spaced public-lands and the associated outdoor recreation on those lands would not take kindly to this announcement and would seem to be fodder for Forstag and Bodnar?

Based on this thread, nobody knows what it means and won't for a long time.

It doesn't sound like a win for conservation or public lands to me though . . .

All I was saying is if Trump can make these empty "promises" I would think opponents could use those to their advantage quite easily with the voters of Montana.

I don’t see this ever happening. If it gains more traction, I will voice my opposition and I would expect most other Montanans to do the same.

Yakima training center in Washington is about 327,000 acres, established 1941. Still a lot of bitterness with the locals over the eminent domain actions to establish it.

It hosts 1 of the 2 remaining populations of greater sage-grouse in WA, although the population isn't exactly thriving. They start a lot of fires that sometimes burn off range, not great for sage-grouse.

They used to allow some access for mule deer and elk, upland game birds, but google says they have suspended recreational access due to budget/staffing cuts.
