I own property in 2 different units and have a good friend with property in a 3rd. If this bill passes I would have to pick between the 3 units. Right now I hunt my friends property more than I do mine and would probably make that same decision under the new bill. In the article it said that if they were to limit permits to management units for non residents they would have to limit them for residents. Apparently there is a federal law that requires this. At the same time in Colorado they only allow residents to draw for ranching for wildlife permits. That doesn't add up with what the article says. The whole deal boils down to they are looking for a way to get the outfitters more permits for non residents as it is the non residents who will pay the big bucks. As a resident we have always had the ability to hunt anywhere within the state that we choose. This would change this completely. I also believe that the outfitters that will benefit the most from this are non residents such as USO. They over publize the Kansas deer herd and make it appear that there is a B&C buck behind every tree. It is not the case. We do have some excellent deer but we are no where near the top in P&Y or B&C bucks in the book. This is a case of the law makers trying to override what the Wildlife and Parks boys are trying to do for game management. The politicans are trying to apease their constiuents and are not looking out for the overall good of the herd. The outfitters are only looking to harvest the big bucks and this is not necessarily good for the herd. Our w&p boys have been trying to get more does killed to help the farmers with crop problems and the insurance companies with the car-deer wrecks. The land that the outfitters lease will be closed to residents and no one will be taking does on these areas which will continue what is percieved as a problem right now.
