There should be hunting on almost all the tracts as well. Post card/ Lottery or something. It isn't like we just go in there and shoot every **** one of them. I wish it was that easy. From the 30 years of experience I have hunting, it is pretty **** hard to outwit an old mature whitetail in their own environment. And getting close enough to shoot one with a bow is even more challenging.

Originally posted by Froggy View PostAll federal public land management agencies are required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act.
Land management agencies are required by law to notify the public of all proposed projects or changes in regulations. They must send out a scoping letter (public notice) to all interested citizens asking for comments on the proposed action.
Interested citizens/groups are given the opportunity to comment with substantive concerns and issues during the scoping period. Once comments are received they must be addressed in the Environmental Assessment (EA) and decision document. Commenters then have status to appeal the decisions.
You must ask to be placed on the interested citizen list at each land management unit to receive the scoping letters.
Here's a link to the National Forest and Grasslands in Texas "Schedule of Proposed Actions".
I'm not familiar with the Corp of Engineers NEPA process but it will be similar to the Forest Service.
Partnering with these agencies by groups and individuals is one of the best ways to have our voices heard.
However a friend was placed on it. However he has recently discovered he has been removed.

501c(4)
Originally posted by Texas Grown View PostThat opening page looks great!
To establish the organization with funding, and help pay for expenses such as advertising, web-sight, travel, ect, I'd suggest create a set of by-laws and a mission statement. Then filing it with the IRS and opening it as a 501c3, non-profit. Even though it is a "non-profit" per say, the entity would still be able to make some increases per year in holdings per year. It will also help keep funding from intermingling with personal interest/assets. I've had to do this before with a triathlon club I helped in founding in Ft. Worth. Then managed it for a few years. I'm beyond that capacity now. But it would be a great opportunity for some younger persons. And you can always add it to your resume for future job prospects.

The National Infrastructure Report Card has been released and it is not so great, as expected: D+
The American Infrastructure Report Card from ASCE provides a look at America's infrastructure problems, such as bridge, water, transportation, and more.
The National Public Parks, Which include OUR PUBLIC LANDS, came in looking unacceptable as well: D+
The Texas grade has yet to released, but you can check different aspects ($86.71 million in unmet needs for the parks system):

If you would like to voice your opinion to our legislators, about how you feel about how all of this stands now, Here is the link:
This would also be great to add to http://www.keeptexaspublic.com/ !!!
