We don't often weigh in with our opinions on political issues here at Realtree, but we want to be clear about our stance on this one: We fundamentally oppose the sale of any public lands in the current version of the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Senator Mike Lee says the sales wouldn't include national parks or wilderness areas, but would target “isolated parcels” that could be developed for housing or infrastructure.
As we all know, those overlooked, isolated parcels are sometimes the best ones for hiding a secret ridge full of Merriam's turkeys or a favorite trout stream. Once they're gone, they're gone.
Whatever you think of the rest of the items in the OBBBA, hunters, anglers, and anyone who enjoys the unique treasure we have in America’s public lands should strongly oppose this.

@GregAbbott_TX 5th generation white Christian conservative and I do not support your voucher nonsense. Support our public schools and teachers. Shame on you for turning your back on our great state’s kids.
@GregAbbott_TX How about supporting the public school teachers with appropriate pay raises and addressing runaway property taxes. Issues we Texans actual care about.
@BabeLaufenberg Unpopular option but I always thought Coach Garret did an amazing job. Time tends to wash away some of the emotions and reveal the core fundamentals.
@DCCheerleaders Cowboys should improve the cheerleaders pay scale. Quite disappointing to hear Jones family brush pay off by saying the girls “don’t do it for the money”.
It’s a fair question Pags.
There is something to agree and disagree about with both Trump and Biden and what they have done. Neither missed on everything, or, got it all right.
What this comes down to is leadership and trust. I look at it as who would I hire.
Having learned from a lot of mistakes in my life, several values stand out that IMO reflect quality of leadership and trust:
How do they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Will people who worked most closely to them come back to work for them.
Do they talk about what they will do going forward or what has happened in the past.
Do they take credit or give credit to others.
How do they handle the criticism that comes with the job.
Do they hire for loyalty or ability.
Do they create stress or reduce stress for the people around them.
In a world where everything changes so quickly, are they always learning.
This may be the most important.
I think where I disagree with many people is the concept that what a President did one term he will do in the next term. Things change too much. The worlds of 2016 , 2020 and 2024 are all vastly different.
I will vote for the person who best reflects the best of the above traits.
I want someone who is most capable of handling the uncertainty of what comes next
To me, it’s an easy decision.
In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence…
But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those beautiful kids at that music festival…
