Tore up, haha. If there is one thing in life I won't loose any sleep over it is this forum. The funny thing about people on here is they say something that just doesn't make any sense, even if in jest, and you respond and people want act like you are the "bad guy" because you didn't just go along with what they were saying, even if it is completely ridiculous. I try to live in reality and not just go along with stuff thought up in Lala land. So lets look at this logically, for real. 400 million for ~14,000 acres comes out to over $28,000 per acre. Based on its location, it was going to go for a lot regardless. Lets say they could get it for $20,000, $15,000 or even $10,000 and acre, it would still be asinine to buy it. You had 700 and some odd people hunt pine log, and less than 10% killed a deer. There isn't enough use, for anything DNR related, on that 14,000 acres worth that kind of money. If the state received a $500 million gift from some redneck billionaire to buy public hunting land in the state, it would still not make any sense to buy Pinelog. If it is all about "conservation" like people say, why would you spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy "rough land" in the middle of development instead of buying 100,000 plus thousand acres across the state, much of it in areas far more conducive to wildlife and wildlife conservation. I get it is "sentimental" and all to a lot of people that hunted it growing up and all, but so was that 1500 acres I grew up hunting that is now a bunch of subdivisions and houses. Thats life. I don't care if it was going to be in my backyard, that is a dumb way to spend taxpayer money.

Pretty sure the $400 million number was just their lawyer taking out of his hind end.

I did sign the one to prevent stores from selling Christmas goods until November and the one to make McDonalds get new ice-cream machines.

Good deal. Early Christmas can get outta hand, but i aint ate at Mcdonalds in years n years really.
No. Why would i?
So keeping public access to lands and waters isn’t as important as a minnow trap, gotcha.

Just sign it
I signed it a while back.
I thought It was sold a bit back, just saw it hasn't.
I think the state should buy it, don't care what the no people have to say as they don't care what I have to say.
State already has my tax dollars, will get more, plus I gave 100.00 on my taxes to the Wildlife Conservation Fund.

I'm pretty sure Pittman-Robertson could be used to help fund this as well. It's the very sort of thing sportsman were thinking of when they created, lobbied for, and passed the act.
I heard it on the way back from hunting. They spent two hours on it. There might be nothing that can be done at this point but it can't hurt to sign the petition:
In.

Have there been any recent developments on this? I caught the tail-end of a news item re: Pine Log on the radio yesterday but didn't catch the full story. I hope that it's good news.

Not especially but not hopeless.
The owners would "like" some part of it to remain wild by selling to the state.
However there are 40 family members who are involved and I assume most will want the most money they can get regardless of what happens to the land!

Hiked 9 miles at the log today looking for pigs. Sure gonna miss that place. During small game season I could hike for miles and miles and never see another person.

Just read that all gates close on Thursday and no public access any more. Man I sure hate it, guess off to other places.
