When you stop and really think it over, what's the rationale for even allowing the owner to hunt that land without a license? The animals are the property of the people of the state. I understand the once-upon-a-time reasoning, that the poor struggling farmer and his kids could hunt and help put dinner on their table. Does that scenario actually hold up in this day and age? The more common reality now is that that farm is a business partly funded by crop price supports and various public money through tax benefits, CRP payments, the services of the county agricultural agents, etc. Some of those things make good sense, and like most government programs some of them are outdated and provide little of their intended service for the tax money they collect. Should we taxpayers also be required to support the hunting of the owners on acres that we can't gain permission to hunt? In case you did not know land owners pay taxes also more than likely more than you do. I for one make less money having my ground in CRP Forestry than I would if I just cash rented it and so does any one who has there ground in set aside. Why dont you buy some ground and let every body have permission to hunt if you think its a good deal after all you just might be able to save a 100 bucks worth of tags.

Missed point......the advantage of letting farmers hunt free deals with access more than food or money. Access to average is the trump card, the farmers are holding it.

Russ Koon, if you think landowners are taking advantage of the people because we sometimes harvest the publics wildlife without paying for tags what about the outfitters who tie up thousands of acres strictly for monetary gain? Who's wildlife are they using? As far as multiple owners hunting for free, I can give an example to the contrary. Before we bought our place it belonged to five different family members, one of which was me. I wanted to squirrel hunt for only one trip so rather than buy a tag for a one time hunt I called the local CO to see if I needed a license to hunt on my portion of the property. His reply was "you will have to produce a deed for your individual part and stay on that part""

A million dollars a year could go a long way....just sayin'
