The U.S. federal public land estate is an American legacy the Boone and Crockett Club will support forever. Since our founding in 1887, whenever the suggestion has been made that public land be disposed of for revenue, we have objected. As the suggestion has been made recently, we object now.
A cash sale produces one kind of return from an asset – the final one. Continuous returns from owning land come from its use and enjoyment.
