Even though the high courts ruled in our favor a dozen years ago it still doesn't stop the eco-fascists from stirring it up all over again.

It's funny how all these "activists" are NO WHERE near these areas they're trying to "save" and in all likelihood have never been to these areas.
Sounds like, from the article, the FS has their ducks in a row to fight it??
I have a feeling that with the second term of this administration running the country, this closure issue is gonna get a LOT worse.

Keith, et al: Being a hunter I purchase the Water Management Maps aka "guzzler" maps from the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The NDOW, just a couple months ago, released their new guzzler book and they did an outstanding job I must say. http://www.ndow.org/wild/habitat/guzzler/index.shtm

One of the keys in this book of topo maps is color coded ID of WSA areas regardless of the Federal management agency. And it is SHOCKING and ALARMING all the (Wilderness Study Area) WSA areas depicted for Nevada. I knew, from all my explore travels in Nevada, it was bad but I had no idea it was worse than I originally thought!


So that prompted a search for the definition of a WSA: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/prog/wilderness/wsa.html

And per the current BLM website's depiction map of all Wilderness Areas + Wilderness Study Areas here: http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/media....File.dat/nlcs_ae_07-2010_6_letter_wsa-wa.jpg

The above BLM maps apparently only portray BLM managed Wilderness and WSA areas and does not accurately portray all the wilderness and WSA land in Nevada (and other states). I've done a preliminary search for an all encompassing digital/on-line map of Nevada's Wilderness Areas and WSA but so far have not found one that depicts all the Federal managing agency's respective boundaries for same within Nevada. The NDOW Water Management book of maps depicts these areas map section by map section.
