Well reading this morning has convinced me many of the commenters here have it wrong again.  The reality is in the lower 48 the only areas open for hunting, trapping, fishing, snow machining etc are in the public lands held by the governments, both state and federal.  Try to deer or moose hunt on Ted Turners ranch in MT.  Sure you can buy a zoo hunt on private land, but most of the outdoor activities take place on public lands.

Thank You President Obama.  You will be missed.
