The follow up to that, is that of even that 0.9% identified, if you look at the maps provided, I'd estimate that maybe 10% of that is flagged as potentially being high impact to fish habitat or wildlife corridors.
And yet, for some, the sky seems to be falling, and somehow the "science" says that the solution is to ban all motorized access. I don't get it.
I'll keep reading, maybe it'll start to make more sense to me, but I kinda doubt it...

Agreed, I haven't read every word yet myself, but reading through it a few times now that seems to be the general consensus.
It would appear that similar tactics will be used for Bighorn and not sure how it can be steered any differently. It's almost like the ship has sailed before people knew they could buy a ticket!
