Hunting land/Ranch purchase thoughts.

LO tags should only be usable on you land.... end rant. Lol

I understand the intent of this sentiment. To be honest and fair though, especially in places like NV where deer can easily travel a couple of miles from up in rocky hills to come down into maybe just 10 acres of irrigated ag fields at night, even if the broader property is a couple of hundred acres, it may not address part of the intent behind landowner tags. Which, generally speaking, is either to compensate the landowner for the ag damage caused by wildlife, or to cut down herd numbers a bit. Limiting a hunt to property-only in places like this, where deer can be a couple of miles away up in the hills, might not address either issue. I can see an argument for it not being unit-wide, but a fair argument could be made for it to include lands within 2 or 3 linear miles from the property boundary. Especially if you want to honor fair-chase hunting, and not just turn landowner tags into field-culling turkey shoots.

About as anti American as a governor can get.No mater what side of the fence your on

I would remove Colorado. Hunting will be a vestige of the past in 10-20 years. Governor is in the process of purging the wildlife commission of every person viewed as even remotely favorable to sportsmen and agriculture. Once that happens it is only a matter of a few votes to eliminate any and all hunting. More "resignations" to come as the purge continues.

Do landowners with landowner tags have to be turned in as income when they sale?
