At MeatEater we try our damnedest to pour out a torrential river of information, recipes, laughs, inspiration, and entertainment — all without giving you a hard sell on anything. Now and then, however, I do have to come forward and make a big ask.
I’m doing that right now about an issue that is close to my heart. You need to call your U.S. congressional representatives and urge them to oppose H.R. 621. If passed, this bill will direct the Secretary of the Interior to begin disposing of your federally-owned public land hunting and fishing grounds in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. This is no joke, it’s real. We will not sit back and let them piss on our hunting and fishing heritage.

If you want to get even tougher and kick even more ass, join forces with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. They fight on the front lines of this battle. Call your representatives, become a member of BHA for just $25, donate to the TRCP, stay updated with what’s going on in your state legislatures, and please, get involved!

[h=1]GREEN DECOYS: Trump Jr. Has to Navigate Between Real and Contrived Western Issues[/h] Posted on September 22, 2016 by ColoradoPeakPolitics
Donald Trump Jr., will be in Grand Junction tonight to address issues of concern to sportsmen and women. On the Western Slope, those folks are also known as hunters and anglers, on the Front Range, those titles are a cover for environmental groups.
Groups like the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers and Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership are green decoys — hunting groups camouflaged for today’s activists with controversial environmental agendas. Sadly, even Trout Unlimited has joined those ranks.
So it’s not surprising those same groups have popped up to offer advice to Trump Junior on what issue they think he should address at tonight’s meeting. Not surprisingly, Second Amendment rights were not on their to-do list.
They want him to address whether some federal lands should be transferred to states, which suggests that energy production on public land would exclude hunting.
It does not.

“We have heard Secretary Clinton say she would strengthen the network of public lands. She is talking about increasing funding for national parks, doubling the size of the outdoor recreation economy. Those are the kinds of things that are important to Coloradans,” said Pete Maysmith, executive director of Conservation Colorado. “From our perspective, it’s pretty clear that Donald Trump is not good for our public lands.”
​

So says the environmentalists. But Western Slope folks are a different kind of environmentalist. They want public lands protected, but they also want to use that property that is literally their backyards for a multitude of purposes, hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, and yes, to make a living through energy development and the recreation industry.
We hope Trump Junior will focus less on what the Front Range Left’s is demanding to hear, and stay centered on issues including Second Amendment rights that are of real importance to Western Slope voters who deserve a voice in this election.

I support those Western Slope fellows ideology.

Rinella is a good dude we don't agree on every thing but I have lots of friends I don't agree with everything on. I have talked to him a few times and having a beer with him would not suck.
