Mizzou,

I don't know that folks who only own 20 acres are gonna abuse the system any more (or less) than someone who has 80 acres.In central Illinois you have people who own 200 acre farm without any cover at all on it for deer and they get landowner permits. So, if they tag a deer where do you think it is coming from? If there is abuse in the system, then it is up to the state to better enforce the rules rather than punishing the smaller landowners who should have the same right to get a permit to hunt their land as the largest landowner in the county.
