Anyone else here heard of this huge debate going on about how to classify the new Boreas Ponds acquisition up in the Adirondacks?
It's a tract of land that was formerly owned by a paper company and was recently turned over to the state (via The Nature Conservancy). I think the APA put out several proposals, all of which included allowing some measure of motorized access, but many of this state's environmental groups got angry that there was no option for excluding all motorized traffic (which would require a full-on wilderness classification).

So what do hunters here think of this?
