I think the initial premise was to let Joe Average have the opportunity to hunt some of the best private ranches for various species of wildlife across the state. In exchange they let the landowners set their own seasons within a broader range of dates. I think its a great deal for the ranch owners but since its inception non-residents have been eliminated from the drawing pull and many of the ranch owners have learned that they can put strict enough rules in place for the residents that do draw to make the hunt much less successful than for their paying clients. That being said, I'm sure that some lucky residents that draw these tags have some really good hunts each year.
