I can see both sides of this debate and believe both have merit. I suspect some states will manage these lands very effectively and there will be net improvement, while a few will basically pillage and plunder. Shame on those states if they do. The people of those states...especially the sportsmen/women of those states...should scream bloody murder and demand political heads on pikes if proper scientific management principles are ignored.

But, for me, the bottom line is that I believe in greater control at the local/regional level...regarding all gov't. Therefore, I support this change and hope for the best. "We get the government we deserve."
