1. Thanks for posting this!!

It's important that we the people who OWN the Frank Church Wilderness know about this issue.

I live close to this physically and personally as I am well acquainted with the plaintiffs in this case, one is among my very closest friends.

Since this was filed in Pocatello, it is highly likely that the Hon. B. Lynn Winmill, Chief Judge of the United States District Court will be presiding over this case as he has presided over other issues regarding FS's mismanagement of the Frank Church regarding wolf management. He's a fellow alum of mine and is really a very fair minded man.

On the other hand, I have heard it said, form other sources, that the "trapper" is a kid who isn't very highly skilled as a trapper, probably has a friend on the F&G committee who are entirely political bunch of henchmen who are friends of the Gov. Butch. Many of the rank and file F&G guys are kind of pissed off about this and know that it's all politics and no science... they don't expect this guy to be very successful.

That all being said, it sucks that the state government in Idaho is so anti-American while waving flags made in China in your face, it is absolutely sickening.

And, FYI, Dr. Ralph Mauhan was one of the major players in the establishment and designation of the Franck Church Wilderness River of No Return and this is a personal affront to him as well as to all the sane conservationists in the country.

Thanks again for posting, I was planning to but had a lot of things on my plate to do when the story broke. i knew it was coming but had to wait for the announcement.

Big Rec!!
