| Lets Hunt:
I was just wondering how everyone felt about damage control permits given to landowners. I don't really mind that they get them as much as they charge people to use them. I know that they are charging for the privlidge to "Hunt Private Land" but without the damage permits not many would pay the prices they get for these hunts. If you crops are being damaged they should want hunters to come in and HELP them. I also don't mind landowners charging to hunt their land during general season's thats their right but once they ask and recieve damage permits they should not be alowed to charge for these hunts. I hate to see these guys make a profit for getting help to controll the elk on their property. How would they feel if the Game department started charging them 5-10K for their permits. Sorry about my ranting here i just had a customer come in who has no crop to be damaged but applied and recieved 3 damage permits for cows on his property the only reason he got them was so he could make some extra cash (He admitted to this so it's not speculation) he already sold the right to hunt his land to two people for 1500.00 each and he will give them the permit. Just wondering how others feel about this. -ian |

i think whoever paid the guy 1500 to shoot a cow needs a little help. |

I agree but there are lots of people out their with more mony then brains. I would never pay to hunt unless it was a guided hunt or at least a drop hunt in alaska or canada. |

IMO...if the landowner paid all the money to own the land, and there's people dumb enough to pay him to hunt it, then the landowner's the smart one. doesn't make it right, wrong or indifferent. it's kind of the way of the world these days...sad but true my .02 there's still a lot of nice people out there that will allow folks to hunt on private land...and for that i'm thankful. |
