I wouldn' t open it to everybody but I would probably open it to a certain number of people each year without charging them. First come first served. It would depend on the land, the carrying capacity and other factors as to how many people. I understand where you are coming from though. If you opend it to every one then your land would get destroyed and you would have no more deer.

I used to live in Katy Texas, just outside of Houston, for eleven years. It really sucks that if someone or their family doesn' t have the money or know someone with land to hunt then they are S.O.L. The only reason That I got to hunt when I lived there was due to my mother working for B.F.I. and they leased 15000+ acres in south Texas and all we had to do was sign up for the dates we wanted. I always wanted to do some snow goose hunting when I lived there but the rice fields were always leased up and they always wanted too much money.

Colorado has a program that the CDOW pays land owners in the state to make their land accessable to public hunters for phesant hunting. All you have to do is buy a $20 stamp to access this land. Big game is a non issue due to the ammount of mountainous public land available.
