Sen. Testor spewing more communibullshit! I wonder what the real figure is on the lands that the Feds have locked up! Jon Tester | U.S. Senator for Montana 24 OCT 2014 Hunting Season: A call for public access Dear Robert, Its that special time of year again when hunters are heading out into Montanas wild places to connect with our heritage and bring home some wild game for the freezer. With general deer and elk season opening on Saturday, its an opportunity to reflect on what defines our hunting heritage: public access to public lands. Our state has nearly 30 million acres of public land, but approximately two million of them are locked up. Thats two million acres that belong to you and me, but we cant hunt on them. Thats not right. And its why Im fighting to dedicate resources to ensure better public access to our public lands. Its time we make it a priority to reduce the number of inaccessible acres in our state, opening up those treasured places for everyone to enjoy. Montanas hunting heritage is part of who we are, our public lands shape our families and our economies. While we can put a price tag on the jobs and revenue our outdoor industry generates, we cannot place a value on the memories our public lands create. Its a father and his daughter hiking through the woods quietly waiting for the herd to move in. Its a mother and her son proudly holding up the elk antlers for a photo. Those moments are the most important reasons we must keep our public lands public. So as you head out this opening weekend, be safe, wear your orange, and take a moment to think about the importance of Montanas hunting tradition. Signature
