Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod sit down with Aaron Kindle the Director of Sporting Advocacy for the National Wildlife Federation. 

The State of Utah filed suit against the United States– and 13 states supported it– claiming the federal government unconstitutionally holds more than 18.5 million unappropriated acres of public land in the state. At the same time, Utah launched a multipronged advertising campaign to convince people that this is a good idea.

Let’s be clear: this is about the potential disposal and selloff of our public lands, which would forever remove our ability to use these lands and carry on outdoor traditions. That means that if Utah were to prevail, the very idea of public lands in the United States could come crashing down. It’s time for Americans to defend one of our nation's best ideas - public lands!
