Actually, there already are precedents for requiring landowners to allow access to their land, I think. For example, I have always been told that, at least in the past,the state would provide people with free fish to stock their pond but they would be required to let other people fish there. If they didn't want to do that, then they would be required to pay for their own fish to stock the ponds. Like i said before, I think that trying to force people to allow public access to their land can open up a big mess. But at the same time, if you are a landowner accepting government subsidies, you are kind of opening yourself up to that possibility.

I think that the realsolution would be for Illinois to adopt a prgoram like South Dakota. They lease land from farmers andthey utilize it the same way other public access hunting areas are operated. Sure it is gonna cost the state money to lease, but it also generates a lot of money since you have many people using it rather than just a few.
