If the state those federal acres are in does not want you to trap hunt or fish guess what? If those acres are sold in the communist states of CA AZ NM CO, we only stand to gain. Some of you need to start with the first post and get caught up.

What’s the issue up there? I know lots of folks who enjoy the endless amounts of land up there, myself included

I'm guessing most folks who live in States without a lot of Federal land probably aren't aware of some of the issues.

In Alaska and other States the Feds try to control wildlife management on "their" lands. The Feds, because they get their direction from D.C. won't allow the State to do predator control and other wildlife management practices. The Feds say who can and who can't hunt or trap on Federal lands.

If you want to build a trapping cabin on Federal lands they will burn it down, yet you can get a permit to build one on State lands.

The State is much easier to work with; the Feds impossible.

The number one reason why the Feds should not own large amount of land (other than military reservations) is because it is unconstitutional.

Kind of a blurry map, but the green is Feds, yellow is native, and orange is State. Jimmy Carter under pressure from environmental extremists put most of that green land into National Parks and Preserves which greatly restricted or eliminated hunting and trapping.

I wonder how the Humane Society of the U.S. feels about this issue?

Of course the antis and other environmental extremists are opposed to transferring land from federal to state ownership. They would have much less influence that way.
