New Interior Secretary is a Hunter

[Ben]

Looks like the new Interior Secretary is a big time hunter. His first act was reversing the Obama lead ban. He's also talking about protecting hunting and fishing rights on public land, which is a very welcome change from eight years of reducing and restricting hunting and fishing opportunities on public land, as well as the ability (vehicle, ATV, bicycle, etc.) to explore those areas.

Is it too much to hope that he will start to wear a Colt SAA to the office?

I hope, in the next eight years, there's a steady stream of photos of him posing next to his recently murderdeathkilled animals.

No, something black and holds more than 10 rounds.

It'll be a nice change from the current crop of "three seashells" types.

The AltNPS tards are losing their *expletive deleted*ing minds 😂

[Ben]

I'm just hoping him and the Ag secretary (forest service) work together and are on common ground. I don't really know much about the ag secretary's stances, but I think consumptive recreational users and mechanized recreational users have lost a lot more ground (ha ha) in the last eight years in national forests than they have in DOI administered lands.

Part of national forests leaning more towards national park regs and administrative mindsets in recent years (partially escalated by WAY too much under the table involvement by enviro groups). To Boomhauer's point, yeah, 80% of the NPS staff will likely be losing their minds, especially if we see any relaxation of current NPS regs.
