They’re not all environmental activists like Fritz wants you to believe. And I’d rather fund more public hunting opportunity than more subsidies and PPP loans going into his pocket.

Ranchers wanting the public land is much like rich northerners ( carpet baggers) buying up southern land for pennies on the dollar after the civil War. They graze it at bargain prices now so the only thing that would change is they can keep you out. They can't stand to see you hunt without paying them.

There is this website called corona virus bailouts. Can these numbers be real?

Everyone can go on that weblink and look up anyone. I looked up two public lands-controlled opposition orgs and look at that below. WTF

The only thing that will preserve hunting in this modern world is public land. Any type of pay to play when it comes to hunting will reduce to only the wealthy hunt. Only in the imagination of the enviouse are the wealthy numerous. Politicians live by polls and when our numbers are diminished the anti hunters will win. More and more in our modern society only money has value.
Why do these states want the public land ? They have spent beyond their means and want more tax revenue. I don't know about all public land, but look at land owned by the U S Fish and Wildlife Service in North Dakota. I don't remember the compensation state and local gov get, but I think it's something like 70% of what they would get if a farmer or rancher owned it. At first one would think that's not fair, but what are taxes for? They are for education, to protect your buildings in the event of fire, to send law enforcment if your threatened, to build and maintain roads etc. However uninhibited land has no people requiring any of these services. So whats fair? People want the public land to make up for their own failures. They are already overcompendated. As for public land (that was originally all public land) the remaing (after giving most to individual homesteaders and states) is now managed by federal agencies, and I don't know if there is any compensation beyond cheap grazing.

Who all do you want to fund? Maybe a blank check?

bravo brought up PPP or Paycheck Protection Program. The SBA Small Business Administration cut checks during the covid lock downs. Somehow non-profits got themselves included.

Typed in bravos most hated farm org at this website tracking the covid money. Very little to nothing.

Typed in the National Rifle Association. They took nothing at all. Typed in a few of these Association of Fish and Wildlife Agency surrogates. There's that giant sucking sound.

Im fucking doing life way wrong. This whole time I was taught to work an honest blue collar job and be modest with my money. Im a goddamn sucker. Im going to start a 501-3c organization and call it “Boobies Unlimited” it’s to help and protect the declining species of boobies around the world. Mainly the blue-footed and pink footed booby. I’ll give myself. 350k a year salary and use all the companies assets like they are my own. I’ll beg for grant(free) monies to use my organization and tax payer funded F-350 and private jet to travel the globe and look at the many different types and colors of boobies of the world and vow to protect each and every booby while I squander all you dumb bastards hard earned tax dollars 😃

PPP served nobody and along with the stimulus are what drove inflation through the roof. Just the concept alone that we could magically make money and give it away opened the eyes of greed by many. And here we are.
