This week, we're discussing transferring federal land to the states and, in particular, state land boards. what a state land board is, what their responsibilities are, and the history of them selling off their land.
The big news story from the week is President Trump's executive orders and what they might mean to public land users and hunters.
Backcountry Hunters and Anglers released a statement detailing some of the changes that will result from the orders in Alaska.
In Wyoming, the executive orders also have the potential to impact public lands primarily by reducing barriers and regulations to oil and gas energy development and lifting the liquified natural gas export ban.
In Washington, a number of bills have been introduced in relation to firearms and ammunition.
Also, in Washington, a new report suggests major changes to the Fish and Wildlife Commission.
