KDWP meets with Outfitters on Tuesday

IMO reducing bag limits won’t get much traction. Private hunters will have no interest in something less than the Federal framework. Maybe public hunters too.

I can't see how it makes a difference either....according to these guys nobody is shooting a limit anyway....and yet they're still coming.

I have made this exact comment before. The private land hunters won’t pay much attention to this noise unless it starts gaining traction. At that point they will get very vocal. I’m guessing those guys are generally better connected than the public Hunter. Right or wrong, follow the money!

Feds allow 8 Canadas, Kansas chose 6

for many years feds allowed 2 hen mallards, Kansas chose 1

nobody complained, not even private hunters

One solution would be like in Saskatchewan, (maybe other provinces also, don't know). Make it illegal for a landowner to accept payment for hunting rights on their land. The rationale is that the game is a public resource and no one should make a profit from the resource. The outfitter we hunt with there, has exclusive rights to lots of land. He was born and raised in the area, he hosts a wild game dinner for area farmers every year to show his appreciation, and he shares the processed meat from waterfowl and big game hunts with the landowners as well.

How about NO! This is not Canada. Telling a man what he can do with his land ain’t working

Oh yeah....let's be like Canada.

If Saskatchewan having free access is a problem for you: STAY HOME. Seems tens of thousands of American residents are happy with our management each year.

Yeah, no thanks.

"Telling a man what he can do with his land ain't working." Really? Have you heard about designated wetlands and drainage restrictions? That seems to be "working" for waterfowl. How about requirements for buffer strips? That "works" for reducing run off of agricultural chemicals and fertilizer. Sometimes landowners should be told what they can and can't do with their land. Waterfowl are a public resource, that in a large part exist only because of hunting license dollars, and hunter's contributions to organizations like DU, Delta and others. That landowner certainly has the right to decide who, if anyone, can hunt on his land. But it's wrong for him to get money for the taking of wild game, which is a public resource.

This forum has now reached new heights.


Congrats Kansans, you’ve been outdone.
