of land in our units 9 and 10, which is my back yard to the Indians (Navajo I presume). A good friend just heard it on the news and called about it. A million acres of prime hunting land just taken away from us. I will have more after I find out the details.
I don't know if it stays National Forest or National

Monument. Nat. Forest is fine as most of that area is already Nat. Forest. Nat Monument could pose a lot of problems. I guess we shall find out.
One paragraph in the monument bill bothers me a lot

here is how it is worded...
"Other opponents of establishing a monument have argued it won’t help combat a lingering drought and could prevent thinning of forests and stop hunters from keeping wildlife populations in check. Ranchers in Utah near the Arizona border say the monument designation would strip them of privately owned land."
That doesn't speak well for hunters or land owners in the million acres.
It was a "monumental" gift to Putin.

That area has high grade uranium. So now that area is off limits to any uranium mining and exploration. So what will our nuclear powered fleet run on? Unicorn farts?
I never thought that our nation would turn to crap so fast.
Damn, I forgot about that. That will make Putin happy.

All right be damned. They are anti-people and no hunting, motorized vehicles off established roadways, or even existing valid permits and claims will be honored. The aboriginals will be allowed to hunt with reckless abandon though.
If that is true (and I don't doubt it) then those of us that

normally hunt those acres, whether it be for small game or elk and deer will not be allowed to do so. It ain't looking good for the home team.
