Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrockW" data-source="post: 431073" data-attributes="member: 5910">Thanks.I should add, I don’t think Trump will screw sportsman. But I do get concerned about the administration’s priorities resulting in some overzealousness in areas I don’t like. My concern was the same with the Democrat admin, just different topics of concern.For instance, I support oil and gas. It pays my bills and I’d be a damn hypocrite to oppose an entire industry while driving a 2nd gen Tundra. I mean, I need to know where gas stations are at ALL times.But by the same token, sage brush and grasslands habitats are in trouble. Western ND, eastern MT, eastern WY, etc., those places are great for oil and gas and happen to be home to some sage brush and grassland strongholds.There is no free lunch, I get that, but we know for a fact industry is disrupting habitat use and migration corridors. In Wyoming there are significant chunks of ground that are not being utilized by ungulates because of industry and/or fencing (mostly for Pronghorn). My concern is that anytime we get into these political swings, and politicians get into this binary pissing match, the habitat and wildlife suffer, and therefore long term hunting suffers. Because they’re too concerned about their political agenda and not actually sitting down with stakeholders to figure out balanced solutions to problems that account for natural resources that I care about. It’s just lawsuits and political games in an all or nothing cluster f***. Both sides do it.I tend to think solar has some legitimate uses. And I think there’s probably places where it makes sense. We need power, there’s just no way around that fact. But call me stubborn, I’m not willing to give up crucial big game habitat and migration routes for solar. There are places for it with less impacts, put it there.</blockquote>
