[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5840454, member: 131"] I have not taken time to read through all of the posts thus far, but I can guarantee everyone that if I were afforded the opportunity ([I]written permission, access fee, etc[/I]) and access to hunt on any private land, I would be honored, treat the land better than the owner, abide by all rules and regulations, and look for ways to "[I]leave it better than I found it[/I]". As a starting point, I would like to see private access afforded to kids in an effort to grow individuals with a love and passion for hunting and the outdoors. There are literally thousands of acres of locked up land behind gates that would appeal to kids, especially those new to the sport. This premium access would afford a grand opportunity for these new hunters. As much as I love hunting, and seeking out new spots ([I]private/public[/I]), my preferred style ([I]find the sign, walk in 20-60 minutes across all landscapes, with a climber and backpack, and climb a tree[/I]) is not conducive to a new hunter, much less a kid. I have had the good fortune of a FEW trusting and selfless individuals grant me permission to hunt their private land over the years and I try to do everything asked of me and then some to stay in good graces with them. [U]For me, that access, experience afield and memories made is invaluable. You simply cannot put a price on it.[/U] My .02 [/QUOTE]
