Access to high country
Sir,—l had always thought that with so many national parks in our country most people would be amply satisfied, but now it seems we have a few groups intent on grabbing more land, that, if they had the decency to ask the owners for, access could sometimes be available to them. In the case of deerstalkers, perhaps they think there are still a few thousand deer running around on runholders’ property. If they cannot manage deer numbers on a block of theirs in the Lewis Pass area, where the Forest Service had to get in choppers to bring the numbers down, how are they going to manage a few more million acres? Do the deerstalkers want the monopoly of the high country for themselves? It reads like it. Have the deerstalkers turned to greed to keep the sport of hunting for themselves? — Yours, P. GOODALL. Glynn Wye Station, March 11, 1985.
