I have to agree with you Doug. Speaking of my area, 2A, MUCH of the private land isnt posted, and some of that which is, permission can be had for the asking. There isVERY little land that see no hunting at all and "HIGHLY OFF LIMITS" is the minority, and the leasing etc, maybe increasing, but still is a far cry from other states where it is much more common. Most who do not allow permission still have many friends and family members who hunt. Herd reduction was acheived here, and it didnt happen on the handful of relativelysmall gamelands we have in the unit.

Fact is, too many tags are being issued for the unit. Not simply on the few gamelands here.

Public land issues might be better able to be addressed where it makes up a large portion of particular units.
