[QUOTE="tjones96761, post: 1875822, member: 8955"] 2 things: anyone been to a school land auction lately? actual farmers have to pay 2x for cattle pasture because of hunters leasing up land and NOT running cattle on it. If farmers have to pay 2x lease fee, it's only fair they recoup as much as possible hunters. problem is, most people bidding a 5 year school land lease strictly for hunting aren't going to sub-lease land that's being farmed. so the "hunters" covering the loss aren't even the same "hunters". Second, I agree with OK not opening private land for public hunting. The reason KS can get away with it is because it is primarily bird hunting. The reason it's only open crop land or CRP is intentional to keep deer hunting to a minimum without saying "no deer hunting" and then trying to enforce it on thousands of acres. we don't have much bird hunting. OK it would be primarily deer hunters, and no cattle rancher is going to be Ok with strangers shooting high power rifles at/near/around their cattle. However, the state could organize a "private land lease auction" in the same manner as the school land auction. Land owners willing to lease hunting rights put their land up, all lands in the county are done at the same time, lease agreement written by the state with optional owner adders (no vehicles, archery only, etc.). state collects a percentage, land brings market value (whatever that may be).
