Why not suggest it to your legislator or senator? Looks like a good idea to me.

The state of Kentucky is "Light-years" ahead of Indiana.  Especially their Game Department. GREAT IDEA!! |

Uh - our governor shoved daylight savings time down our throats - even though the vast majority didn't want it - to promote growth and development of the economy. With Mitch around, this idea wouldn't have a snowballs chance in ... well you know what I'm getting at

I'd love to see it but you'd have to compete with leesing prices I don't think the state or the FED government will want to foot the bill. If we had this idea about 15 - 20 years ago maybe.

This is very similar to the programs out west, and is also very similar to the idea I pitched to Kyle many months back.
I believe more people would go for it than you think-many people who own wildlife habitat are looking for reasons, and ways to not have to sell to make a profit-and this is a much better alternative for all of us than leasing.
I agree with Jack-we need to approach our elected officials, as well as the folks at the DNR about ideas such as this.
We`re running out of land folks-we’d better start coming up with some new ideas about how we`re going to protect what we have left.

I like the idea of preserving land, but as a landowner I wouldn't be willing to open my land up to public hunting, that's the deal breaker...
How much of a tax credit are we talking anyways? I don't see it happening. I don't know too many landowners who'd be willing to open their land up to the public for hunting/fishing purposes either....you'd lose control of your property.

Your right, ridge, but why sit back and not do anything? I suppose we can wait 15-20 years to see if it works in KY and then make our decision.  |

I think Kansas has several thousand acres open in a similar program.

Colorado, at least one of the Dakota's have this. Wonder what it does for the outfitters, guess the land owner has the choice of no hunt, public hunt with tax break, lease to outfitter and pay taxes on that. Leases are income aren't they and are taxed as such?

That's the breaks, you can't get something for nothing. It works elsewhere, most noticiably in several western states, and I see no reason why it would not work here. It is a no lose situation. |

Especially their Game Department. GREAT IDEA!!
