My take is: A privilege is not guarenteed. It can be taken away. But actually so is a Right, as stated in the bill of rights. For example the right to Vote, bear arms, etc can all be taken away.

These decisions are made by the Governing Body, all phases of Government be it local, or National have checks and balances to keep one extremist from invoking his beliefs. We have divisions of wildlife or divisions of natural resources looking out for us. Now we must educate ourselves as to what politicians share our beliefs and use our vote to put them in office. But even if our candidate doesn't win, The NRA, DNR, etc should have our backs, this along with the voice of democracy should keep our privilege protected.

This is why we, must police our ranks to be law abiding and ethical. We can keep landowners on our side by acting properly when they allow us, the privilege, to hunt their property. We must also respect public lands in the same manner.

I'm sure most of us have asked a land owner for permission and we are denied because of what the previous guy he gave permission to did.
