This is Public land under discussion, not private land that may be dictated by a private owner. If you allow people to hunt on your own land for a price, thats entirely acceptable. But no one should have the right :, to deny public access on public lands-n- ot even the governing board. Whats more, if that board is allowed to jack up the price of hunting on any piece of designated public lands (elk and deer permits in the Book Cliffs could run as much as $3,000-5,00if the initiative passes), hunting could become a rich mans sport any- where, since a precedent would be set that might be gradually extended to other areas. Officials of the State Land Board acknowledge that the issue will ultimately be decided by the State Legislature. If you arc a hunter who enjoys access to public lands, you need to voice your resistance to the land boards initiative. In fact, if you are a person who believes in access to public lands in any form, your opinion may need to be heard to protect public access as we know it Its already a threatened species. The state land board wants a private hunting club, and they've chosen the Book Cliffs for their first exclusive area. Or so it seems. The Board of State Lands and Forestry recently voted to endorse an initiative that would close the Book Cliffs area to public hunting, and allow the board to restrict hunting to whomever they choose. Present wildlife codes allow anyone with a hunting license to enjoy the wild game in the Book Cliffs, within some reasonable limitations. Many local hunters have bagged elk, deer, and other common game in the Book Cliffs area, and many others have given the area a try, enjoying the scenery as well as the game. Most residents of the Basin would consider it a rightful privilege to take a scenic drive to the area if they choose; after all, the Book Cliffs are public lands. But the Land Board, under the guise of wildlife management on federal lands, are openly attempting to make the Book Cliffs area a restricted hunting area, where, for an exorbitant fee, certain privileged individuals could hunt in a truly exclusive setting. Is this another ploy by those who retain the medieval attitude of the rich mans pocketbook carrying more authority than the common mans right to liberty?

In many ways, it is fair for those who have more money to spend more to hunt That is the law of capitalism: You make the money, you spend it however you choose. Many people go without things that wealthy people have, and theres nothing really unfair about that (In fact too many handouts occur in the name of equality.) But the insult of this notion goes beyond 722-452- (Carbon, Wasatch, Duchesne, Summit Daggett Uintah Counties) HC 65, Box 30, Altamont Utah 8400 1 , Res.
