if you had this land...would you allow every tom, dick and harry onto it to hunt for free? after all the money you dropped on the land? also think along the lines that the alfalfa that the imaginary farmer is growing and the elk are eating is being used to feed his stock or sold to make money to feed his family. more money out of his pocket. i'm not trying to argue, just a healthy debate...but in the same breath, i would not expect a landowner to allow joe shmoe onto his land just because he got a damage control tag. |

I'am not trying to argue either it's just nice to hear others opinions and be able to debate them. I'am not saying he has to let every tom, dick and harry onto his property but if he gets three tags he should give them away to family freinds or whatever and if he dosn't know anyone let the game department help him find someone. He's already willing to let any tom, dick and harry with money on his land. I don't see how farmers can complain and recieve money for damaged crops when they are not willing to let hunters in even if they select the hunters themself. On another note i was just talking with a landowner on my lunch break and got permission to hunt another 1500 or so acres this year. wich makes 3900 acres total i have gotten permission for in just one week. So there are lots on landowners out there that will still let responsible hunters onto their land. I hope to talk to many more in the next few weeks. This last landowner gets damage tags for his land and told me that when he gets them he has to make a agreement with the game deprtment to let ANYONE with a valid elk tag take a elk on his property during a open season if the elk are visible from pulbic land including roadways. I had never heard this before and thought it was interesting. I would never force my way onto someonse property if they said no anyways but it was interesting to know and i wouldn't mind knowing if it was true or not. |
