Nearly 60% of Wyoming residents oppose giving the state control over federal public lands.

Wyoming lawmakers recently proposed and debated bills to prevent the federal government from owning more land.

Some fear threats to public lands will only get worse as on-the-ground biologists, trail crews and other federal employees continue losing their jobs.

Landowners often propose land trades or all-out purchases with the state and feds to consolidate their properties.

The sales can sometimes result in more access for the public, but they more often end up blocking the public from prime hunting, fishing or hiking grounds.

One ranch proposed buying state land north of Casper would result in 10,000 acres of lost hunting grounds.
