Very good news!

It's dead! For now...

I hope this makes each of you think about how land is managed in Texas. Although they may not sell off your property, urbanization will continue to threaten Texas public land across much of the state.

We won the first battle! There is too much money on the line for the land grabbers to give up though. I'm going to have a cold beer tonight in celebration of this first victory. Thanks to all who stood up, paid attention, gathered facts, and said "Hell no!"

Hopefully it's dead!!

I recently listened to one on Steve's pod cast that mentioned how some states have take ownership of a large portion of what was once federal land just to turn around and sell it to private interest. Not sure if this is what happened in Texas.

what a relief. now is not the time to relax our efforts to educate others about the importance of preserving our public lands for future generations to enjoy, though. this issue will resurface eventually, and I think that we as concerned sportsman should take this "down time" as an opportunity to spread the word about the importance of saving the public's right to access these lands.
