Default RE: Public Land - a curse or a blessing?

Try living / hunting in NJ.. One of the most densely populated states and yet, one of the smallest. The WMA's are hunted to death, been for years now... Housing sprouting up everywhere with no one around that can afford to live in the new houses...

In my area, farmers / landowners post their land and let NO ONE on to hunt. A legal, decent person (hunter) is not needed to come onto anyones property to help control the herd and save them from crop damage. The great state of NJ gives , to any farmer that cries for it, a FARMER DESTRUCTION PERMIT . This allows the farmer to kill whatever they want, whenever they want (day or night), with whatever they need to do the job... All to be thrown into a giant pit at the back of their properties.. To rot...

I must say though... You have PLENTY of hunters that have no respect ... posted or not, permission or not, they will walk a piece if no one is around.. We had that happen about 3-4 weeks ago.
