Scott, this agrees with you: http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/06/02/06/greenslade.htm — I recommend you read the whole article.

QUOTE: "There are two other methods for the federal government to acquire legislative jurisdiction over land within a State. It should be noted that neither of these are found in the Constitution. They are judicially created methods. The first is for the States to pass a general cession statute. ... The second method is for the federal government to reserve jurisdiction at the time statehood is granted to a territory. This does not involve a transfer of legislative jurisdiction because the State never had jurisdiction over the land in the first place. This is how the federal government gained control over so much property in the western United States."

With that in mind, ponder the information in the following link: http://www.backcountrychronicles.com/public-hunting-land/

The chart at that link should make every thinking Oregonian weep, and then get angry!
