I submitted this idea to the DNR page.
I would like to see land owner tags extend to immediate family and their spouses even if they don't live with the land owner. My in-laws do not hunt but they do enjoy the meat that I get when I hunt their ground. To me it seems fair that they own their land and pay taxes on that land why shouldn't they be able to let somebody use their land owner tags if they aren't going to use them. They could even make them declare the person before the season and sign some sort of waiver or register it with the DNR.
What do you think? am I off the mark?

I see what you are saying and you are definitely entitled to your opinion, my opinion on landowner tags couldn't be more different.
I believe that unless you are making/losing money off of an actual crop or going through the process to do so in the future (timber management) then you should not be allowed to use a landowner license.
I own ground and there is ground that I am going to own in the future (hopefully a long time from now) and I would have no problem buying a license to hunt either places if I didn't have a lifetime license.

What I would like to see is a lockdown on regs for a while to see what effect the last changes will make.

IMO - landowner tags are meant for just that landowners. I am a landowner but like to hunt other area's so I purchased a lifetime license many year's ago. The state makes money of license fees so allowing non - landowner's to use landowner's tags doesn't make much sense to me.

I would like to see a landowner Licence issued for say 5 or 6 dollars something like a youth licence that would really help the DNR with PR money, now I believe 30 dollars received per licence sold Landowners espically would benefit from this

Taking advantage of it because it is not enforced as such, IMO, is as bad as not buying a license any other time it is required. |

Letting someone else use your tags? Don't see that ever happening. Not good business for starters...

Don't see anything wrong with family members using landowner tags if it was legal. Don't see licenses as expensive in Indiana either. As landowners ourselves we often buy tags for other properties. Spent $60 for bundle for my hubby, $24 for my archery, and $14 for two youth licenses this year. Only checked in a button buck this year so seems to me the state isn't being abused by landowner tags or loosing money.
Every deer I check in has been checked in under a landowner tag, I have a customer ID for it, the state knows how many deer are checked in under landowners Woody. So the state should have numbers on that.
I found it interesting Miami County tried to turn our property to residential zoning. I had a fit, but supposedly they sent every property owner that letter this past fall. I don't find it innocent though, if you don't send letter back, boom you are zoned residential. Always trying to drum up more money for the government.

I would like to see depredation tags eliminated totally
Let farmers in need of deer removed put their name in a pool of hunters looking for property to hunt. Once a hunter screws up he or she is out of the pool forever.
I see your point but I'm also wondering why a landowner is given free tags but someone who pays more in taxes for a big house is not given a tags ? My wife and i pay taxes in Michigan for our small lake cottage, 4 times our Indiana home taxes, yet i still have to pay out of state fishing license prices.

I have a lifetime license also and check all my deer under the lifetime license and not under landowner and all the deer I killed were off my own land this year. 3 does and 1 buck. i'm guessing guys with lifetime license's and own land probably do also.

I prefer the landowner exemption just the way it is, and I have an LL too. If I owned a large amount of property, but not for farming, I'b be rather annoyed at having to pay for a license to hunt my own land. You can currently fish public streams that abut your property without a license, why should hunting be any different?

Some good points. Thank you for not attacking the idea or making me feel stupid for suggesting it.
Other boards I have been on in the past aren't quite as civil as this one is most of the time.
