It restricts what it calls trophy hunting in some areas, which anybody who\u2019s listening, who knows anything about hunting knows that trophy hunting is not anything hunters ever identify as or talk about\u2026It\u2019s kind of a made up kill word in some ways. So I\u2019m still trying to figure out what they mean by that, is it that you have to be subsistence hunting? Do you have to be feeding yourself with it? I don\u2019t know how they\u2019re going to determine that. But there\u2019s a large area that will be called remote that they won\u2019t be allowing any kind of any kind of motorized traffic and and then like wilderness areas. Wilderness areas will be restricted to parties of, I think, it\u2019s usually 20. They\u2019re going to have restrictions like that where you\u2019re going to have a limited party size, you\u2019re not going to be able to be on any kind of vehicle with wheels. There\u2019s going to be areas that are essentially going to be, you know, managed, like wilderness more, so an alternative II. And then you mentioned the alternatively on like the others would restrict in most areas having except in designated areas there would be no sport shooting, which is sort of interesting, and to me is kind of seems unnecessary. I\u2019ve been down there and have not seen a lot of destruction to the land from sport shooting. The most destruction I\u2019ve seen is from increased tourism, and tourists don\u2019t usually bring their guns. They usually go and see the indigenous sights\u2026The problems come from tourists touching the sights or being disrespectful;&nbsp; they don\u2019t come from locals going out shooting.\u201d \u2014 Andrew Sandstrom, conservation activist<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Episode 423 of District of Conservation, Gabriella welcomes back Andrew Sandstrom, a conservative conservationist activists hailing from Utah, to discuss the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service\u2019s Bear Ears National Monument Draft Plan.
