[QUOTE="74honker, post: 2234845, member: 113930"] This very thing happens even in my state. Years back the big whitetail.craze started and tons of NR came in and leased up anything with a tree on it for insane $$ and started an outfitter business bringing in even more NR. Farmers took the money since it helped pay property taxes and whatnot but the lands that many R hunted for many times being a good neighbor and helping the farmers out throughout the years by putting up hay, fixing fence, etc. are now off limits due to high $ leases that no one but they can afford. Now due to the "NR outfitters", the game has suffered because they shoot whatever they see with horns just to make a paycheck and once they burn the area up, they just move on to the next farmer. All the while many R have to play second fiddle to get a tag. It is the future of our sport that someday in the near future, one will either have to own it, pay for it (lease, outfitter), or be out on the public lands that will inevitably turn into an impossible CIRCUS (it is here already), or you just won't hunt period. Residents should ALWAYS have 1st dibs! And yes someday I would love the chance to get out west to hunt someday but will patiently wait in line behind any resident for that chance. [/QUOTE]
