[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5854919, member: 2805"] I agree with this 100% That being said, if legal, what about all the 'hunters' who got permission to hunt that property from the landowner? They pour bait everywhere and rape the resource... because, who knows, they may not get permission the next year. In my experience... the vast majority of people who don't own the land, but just get permission to hunt are FAR less conservation minded than the landowners who both own the land and who enjoy hunting. I just had a conversation with a neighboring nonhunting landowner who allowed a new guy to hunt his property last year (but stipulated hunting ONLY when when the landowner was on site). I showed him pictures of deer he killed by him and friends he brought in when the landowner was not there. Hopefully he realizes he was taken advantage of. Although I'm opposed to baiting, I could be swayed to only allow the title holder to bait on his deeded ground, but otherwise illegal for everyone else, even extended family, simply because I tend to favor direct private property rights over game rights.... That being said... if game rights did not superceed private property rights, we would have NO game to pursue... all the landowners in the past would have put all the wild game on a biscuit... we wouldn't be having this conversation, as there would be nothing to bait except cardinals.
