No, I wasn't referring to your post. You raise an excellent point, and I don't know the answer to that- Haven't thought about it much. What I had in mind when I posted is when landowners have enough power to dictate what seasons are going to be established and demanding that FWP manage elk populations on the landowners property.
I don't know if it's the same landowners or that are involved both ways, but here in Montana where we have landowners complaining about too many elk, yet some landowners do things like close roads that are legally open to prevent hunters from accessing public land, and passing the corner crossing bill to prevent landowners from accessing public land so that the can have exclusive use of that public land, often to outfit on.
