Karen-I don’t think hunting or the sportsman deserve the stereotype you just placed on them.

Cyclops- You may be on to something. What if there were a reason the sale could not go through.

EDITOR NOTE–The only “reason” the sale hasn’t gone through that we have heard is that F&G can’t come up with the cash to buy it.

If it weren’t for the intrusive neighbors and their homes none of this would have happened or been necessary. The land would have continued to be winter range, unthreatened by human encroachment. Granted Boise allowed those homes, which was wrong in the first place, and City Fathers have got themselves in a muddle now when they tried to somewhat rectify it. But frankly, with so much human pressure there, it probably should be marked for little or no access.

I’m sure they will do what’s best for The City of Boise. We silly children should just trust in the city fathers to do right by us. We are not smart enough to spend wisely in our best interests. They will do better for us, each time every time. Their vision and judgment is beyond our capacity. Ye have little faith. Shame! So fortunate they no longer witch hunt!

I want to know if the IDF&G is going to be responsible if there is a fire the area they want to open to hunting? I can remember when there was a hue and cry when it was mentioned that sheep graze the foot hills to lessen fire danger. Now guns, potentially drunken hunters and, in some cases, their sidekick dogs are welcome just so bambis can be shot, gutted and DRUG out. My how times have changed. Where are you PETA?

A “sale” is the exchange of goods or property for an agreed sum. How can there be a sale when no one has paid anything for the property involved. Until there is an exchange of money, it seems to me that the property is still owned by the city and F&G has no right to lock it up!! This whole thing just stinks to high heaven!

It never ceases to amaze me that the hardest places for the public to get access to are owned by the public.
