Default RE: Just complaining about the road hunters.

Its a bad deal but I don't see it ending anytime soon. Part of the problem is the fact that so much of the land is posted and no-one is allowed access. This would not be true of public land but in the unit where I hunt, there is not one inch of public land. However 80 percent of the land in this unit is under lease and or posted. People are going to hunt regardless so they are left to road hunt. This is not legal where I live, that is you cannot shoot off the road and you can't shoot on private property without written permission so they are trying to sneak a deer off of illegal land. I have land in my unit and permission to hunt thousands of acres of other private land so I have no problem. However had I not been raised there and did not know so many land owners, I would be screwed. Part of the problem too is that the G&F department sells tags for this unit even though they know there is very little land open to hunting. Wish I knew the answer.
