RE: Kansas Bowhunters: A must read
Just a note on this debate. We have to strike down the whole piece of legislation, it is already passed into law, so we cannot line item veto...i.e, make non-residents only unitized. I agree that it does need to be modified, but lets do it right and not negatively harm everybody with a widesweeping law. This is why we must stand up now, and lobby our representatives with compelling, intelligent arguments as to why this new law should be changed.
Datamax--I am more apt to hold the landowners tags to a certain unit or county, as I would be for all out-of-staters. Seriously, I know that whenever I have hunted in other states I don't have enough time to effectively hunt more than one area, if an out-of-stater wants a statewide let them draw it. We are up against some big money here, the outfitters, the agriculture lobbying groups and the tourism group. We really need to stand untied on the bowhunting platform, like Iowa, and try to help preserve our sport, our heritage for the next generation. It can't all be done at once, but repealing SB364 is an excellent start.
