The National Wildlife Association has an interesting article on it's website about sportsment calling for balanced public land use.  below is just a portion of the article see it in its entity on the National Wildlife Association website.

As members of Congress tackle ways to manage our public lands, a national sportsmen’s coalition continues to urge lawmakers to strike a balance that permits responsible energy development while maintaining healthy fish, wildlife and habitat and allowing public input.

Speakers in a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources Wednesday objected to what they see as unnecessary regulation of drilling on public lands. Sportsmen for Responsible Energy Development supports a process that involves the public and provides certainty for everyone – the industry, public agencies, landowners and the millions of Americans who hunt, fish, recreate and make a living off public lands.
