PUBLIC LANDS: Don’t trust Fulcher

| September 2, 2026 1:00 AM

Like many Idahoans, fall is a special time of the year in our home. Any elk hunter is familiar with that unique sense of anxiety and hope, over what the season will bring. This year, I am more anxious about the possibility of losing access to the spaces which bring me and my family so much comfort, peace and maybe, if I do my part, a little meat in the freezer.  

The places our families camp, hunt, fish and forage are slated to be commodified and sold to the highest bidder. Russ Fulcher’s plan for our public lands amounts to a project aimed at stripping Idahoans of their access to vital economic, recreational, cultural and spiritual spaces that nourish our bodies and souls.
