Want a private land owner to own the animals on his deeded ground?

Sure what has been put to rest is I despise being gouged and I despise those who are good with it. There should be a break on the federal land, does the state manage the federal land for wildlife? Does the state manage wildlife on private property? On what basis do you think the state making tags more expensive for NR hunters on either type of property being OK?

Yes the state does manage the wildlife on federal lands, yes they also manage private lands out West.
The state conducts population surveys, they fly herd counts to set quotas. They allow LO to have licenses if they have animals on their property.
The wildlife is not owned by private landowners, it is managed by the state for it's residents.

Don't like the NR prices, move here and be a resident to reap the benefits, pretty simple the way that works.
