I wonder why land shares haven't caught on in areas like it has down here. Here it's more of residents displacing residents for deer hunting land.

That's what happened here. Where i live now used to be pastures, woods, and swamp. People die who have kids. The kids sell the property. A developer turns it into a subdivision or strip mall. Rinse, repeat enough times, and this rural area is now subdivisions and strip malls going on and on and...

What if you did that, then Louisiana decides to say you can't fish or duck hunt there anymore, or you can only every so many years after they kept upping the license fees for you?

Kentucky gets its fish and wildlife revenue almost entirely from license sales. A resident landowner in Kentucky doesn't have to pay a dime to hunt on their own land unless they want to.

I just want to hunt on the land my wife and I worked to buy in an area capable of producing the type of deer we wanted. I didn't want to uproot our family to move away from jobs and other family to do it. I wanted to work with the land to make it a place where deer wanted to be. I didn't...

I can't afford what you're describing any more than an average Iowa resident can.

Maybe the whole solution is to make it illegal to make money off of wild game.

Then we're back to making it a rich man's sport.

I'd want it at 40, but that's just because that's where I started and is a good entry point for working on the property with habitat projects. I don't want to go with an outfitter. I don't want to pay for my animal. I want to have some part in the strategy and reason for it to have been there.

So the desire is for some residents to put restrictions on the income of other residents?

I don't think hunting is the deciding factor on what keeps most Americans where they live. If I had to move everytime I wanted to enjoy a resource somewhere in my country, I'd be a gypsy. Are we going to cap nonresidents from owning a condo on the beach in Florida? There a plenty of...

Another thing I hear about non-residents is "maybe they'll fix their own state". That would be nice, but how are you going to convince people to try and grow soybeans on ground that's not capable of making any kind of crop? The Midwest has a resource that many US residents can't get where they...

Somebody local must love outfitters. How many outfitters own all their own land? And, aren't they usually state residents too? Which resident do you need to please?

I can't compete with @Native Hunter, but I will say, the cover produced is quick and makes them feel comfortable. But, you need better food than your neighbors or the deer will be in the closest cover to it.

I bought a piece of property the locals didn't want. It was underpriced even by local standards. A local sold it to me. Now, I'm supposed to not hunt or limit my hunting on it because I don't vote there? If that's the case, I'll put multiple trailer homes on it to put more voting locals on it...

From hearing Iowans, the deer quality is declining.

For some reason, likely closest Midwest proximity to the south, northern Missouri does see an influx of non-residents. I've known guys from 30 years ago that have hunted and leased up there. It was on my list of 2 states to buy in when I was wanting to buy good deer property. But, how much of...

But, I guarantee they're not paying more for the resource than an non-resident. License fees are multitudes higher, and that's where most of the money that's paying to manage those resources comes from; hardly if any from taxes.

I just want to hunt on my own land, but yeah maybe I should since I'm paying for it. Or, they can not charge me to pay for that stuff. I'd be fine with that too. How am I much different than a guy from Kansas City buying a place to hunt out by you? He doesn't vote there.

If I'm a landowner, I'm going to exercise the same rights as my neighbor has. I pay taxes to schools, fire departments, water departments, etc that are local around that property.
