Spotlight on public lands: Little Mountain 
Posted in
Sweat was beading on my brow. I was gasping for breath. Running up hill, I needed my iPhone. Fifty yards away I had the spotting scope set up. Binos were around my neck, so was the camera. A few hundred yards below were 300-400 head of elk. Cows and calves were mewing, the herd bull was grazing,... [ READ MORE... ]

This commentary in the Santa Fe New Mexican sums up perfectly the kinds of issues and solutions that confront outdoorspeople in this age when so many folks are growing blind to the importance of public lands.
