I think that Scotchman Peaks should be designated as wilderness. As the Bill 3531 says ¨Nothing in this Act affects the jurisdiction of the State of Idaho with respect  to fish and wildlife on public land in the State.¨ This shows that by passing the Bill they don't want to change the laws already set in place that keep the land and wildlife safe. They just want to make sure that the land is taken care of. They also won't change they boundaries of the Scotchman Peaks wilderness area.

Yes
The SPWA should be established once and for all as a wilderness area. It is vital for the people of the Idahoan Community to have a location to go and fulfill their needs such as hunting, fishing  and even camping. In Senate Bill 3531,  it specifically says, ”Nothing in this Act affects the jurisdiction of the State of Idaho with respect  to fish and wildlife on public land in the State. “  This bill allows protection over the area for the use of the area in a way to avoid damaging the region.

Yes, it should not only be preserved, but enjoyed by future generations. The bill coming into action will cause little to no altercations of people’s everyday lives and enhance them as well.

We strongly agree with Senator Risch’s Bill, here is some reasons why. We agree with him because he gives the power of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness back into the hands of the forest service and fish and game. This will lead to this land bring well maintained and kept protected. We also strongly agree with this because he is keeping all of the tribal lands protected this is very important because there is tribal monuments and drawings around the Scotchman Peaks area and they need to stay protected.

The Scotchman Peaks Wilderness area should be designated as wilderness by the U.S. congress, because it’s important for the community to have a place where they can go to willful their own needs

The wilderness should be designated by the US Congress because according to Senate Bill 3531, it won't hinder the area around it and won't directly affect fish and wildlife in the area; it will only protect them from future generations changing the area from being federal land. The quote from the bill states"Nothing in this Act affects the jurisdiction of the State of Idaho with respect to fish and wildlife on public land in the State" proves that the bill won't affect fish and game, and "The fact that an activity or use on land outside the wilderness area can be seen or heard within the wilderness area shall not preclude the activity or use outside the wilderness area" and "Nothing in this Act diminishes the rights of any Indian tribe" prove that the bill won't affect the area or the use of the area around it, as well as indian tribes. Also, it is a big part of many peoples' lifestyles in the area. So since designating the wilderness will have little downfalls, it is worth protecting so that people in the present and future can enjoy its numerous benefits, such as being a place to experience nature and take part in outdoor activities and experiences.

1)We think that scotchman Peaks should be designated as wilderness by the U.S congress because according to the Senate Bill 3531 they have plans to overall make this land better.One of the plans for this land to be better and greater is to “promote healthy, viable, and more naturally distributed wildlife populations that would enhance wilderness values.” Also they have plans to make the land better by not changing it all.They say they are going to achieve this by ”accomplish the purpose of the management activity with the minimum impact necessary.”Overall I think they are trying to do better for the overall appearance and to protect the land for the greater good.
