None. Zilch. Zero.

Which is exactly what they deserve in return, as opposed to special seasons, licenses, and quotas. The land is theirs - the animals are not.


I agree with that. But if we're talking about getting access for the general public to hunt their land when large herds use it as a refuge to avoid hunting pressure on public land (I thought we were) then it seems fair to give them something in return. Not only fair, but maybe the only way to get them to cooperate.



A wise man is frequently humbled.
