[QUOTE="PLHunter, post: 1561069, member: 107772"] I think it can be a positive on both ends. More hunters willing to pay landowners to hunt can mean landowners will see a value in maintaining and protecting habitat for native animals. As for public land it’s more a matter of what we advocate and demand for in our public lands and not an issue with the system as a whole. Overgrazing is a real issue but it’s because we have rules in place that only allow grazers to buy those rights and little in place to incentivize taking care of the land. Public land hunting has a lot of opportunity still today and I almost always get my animal during archery and rifle but it’s definitely a lot of work. More roadless areas could help make public lands a more diverse and productive hunting opportunity. I think the most important thing is to be a strong advocate for real conservation. If you’re a private land pay to play hunter make sure that the land owner is fostering a good environment for all animals in that ecosystem not just farming deer. If you’re a public land hunter make sure you are advocating and voting for sustainable use. Set the example. Hunting is what we make it. [/QUOTE]
