Default Paid hunting access

Can't be all bad. The upside is it would keep the "Gucci" hunters in a safe place. Just make sure it gets adequately regulated.

Full Disclosure: I am a landowner

I don’t think I am an anomaly, but I do not support any sort of compensation as it relates to hunting and hunting opportunities. I do support some sort of financial recognition (likely through a tax incentive) for landowners that maintain or sustain critical wildlife habitat (outside of a registered conservation easement) to the benefit of all Albertans. I think for the most part, some sort of direct compensation availability is not going to coerce all landowners to allow or disallow hunting.

I also fear that those landowners that are motivated by money will be the most unprincipled and this cannot be good for lawful hunting and lawful hunters. My thoughts anyway. Regards, Mike

Default landowner tags

I am heard the same thing that Lurch is talking about in reagrds to landowners getting the tags and putting them out to bid. This will not benefit the average hunter at all. The only thing I know about location is that they want to try it as a trial down south first.

We already lose enough tags to outfitters, now we may lose more to landowners. BRUTAL

Default Jamie...

A "Gucci" hunter can be instantly recognized by the rhinestones in his hunting vest, the Peter Hofer Jagdwaffen over his shoulder, answers to the name, Dick, and can be heard saying, "Sorry, Harry...you looked like a ringtail in that hat!"...

Just look at the mess Utah has created for residents because of transferable landowner tags.
