April 27, 2009, 2:44am (report abuse)I own a home in the Middle of the area that would become wilderness if this bill was to pass. The area that has been purposed is used for Hunting, Fishing, Public Water for the town of Pinedale WY, Grazing, Firewood, skiing, and so much more.
To say that it would effect the local economy is understated. The wildlife would also be effected negatively. We have 5 Elk Feed grounds in the area that would not be accessable if it became wilderness. Please voice your comments and ask your representative to Vote NO for HB 980!
