There's lots of great landowners in MT that are great stewards of their land, many of which have outfitting, or little to no public hunting allowed. We all still benefit from these guys. They owe the public nothing. If I owned a large ranch, I would not allow hunting other than for my family and friends.
I agree. I also think that we the public owe the land owners nothing. If they think there are too many elk, there are plenty of opportunities to reduce the numbers during the ten week season. I am very much against anything that would give land owners a larger role in game management ( deciding who gets to hunt what and when) than the average guy. It is thier land and they absolutely have the right to grant access to who they want, but they should have no role in deciding what those people are allowed to shoot.
