Default RE: Kansas Bowhunters: A must read

datamax,

Very good explanation, that's the way I view it too. T-tags are starting to sell the Kansas resident hunter out and will even more in the future. I think landowners should be able to transfer tags and make money if they like, but only with their own landowner tags, not non-resident T-tags. This makes the landowner have absolutely no responsiblility for the tag that they drew and are basically making money from the sheer fact of being a landowner and nothing else. It's something that helps only some landowners, most all outfitters, and the deep pockets of out-of-state hunters that can hunt regardless of whether they draw or not.

There are several BIG mistakes made by the KDWP including this one. But that's another completely different issue. Right now the important one is stopping the unitization of resident bow tags. There is not a logical reason in restricting resident bowhunters to units.
