first off, the more people in there, the more outlaws they would have to deal with, if its killing game out of season, or litering, or just messing around making 4x4 trails. i think they would rather have 4 guys do what 300 may do, and know who it is thats on THIER property,plus they get to make any profit off the bear as they please while we make no profit.
hell we have to have a tag to hunt and dont get to tag and keep nothing.
alot of hunters dont see the big picture, some dont want the hound dogers in the woods disturbing them, but look at how many lion and bear there are now, and the deer and elk population that most hunters go after are going down hill. yet when we lost hound season, very few cared, or care now...
as for snares and guys getting paid to use them, i dont have any info on that.our foresters dont use them. but in some situations i could see snaring. dont know about needing to pay some one for the service though.
to arteman, they still do find some damage as they come across it, but we also look alot and normally find the majority of it.
