Been in the works for a while. It wouldnt happen in MO since tags are all OTC here.
Do ranchers in Colorado already have this option? :thinking: I'm thinking yes. I will try to make sure unless someone beats me to it.
What’s the difference between selling a tag to hunt on your land and leasing your land to hunt?
I’d charge a bit more than the going lease price in order to gain back what the hunter would have to charge for OOC but I don’t see the difference really.

The only real benefit is a landowner could get a tag for a client even if they didnt draw that year.
I didn't think about it that way. I guess the only difference is that the individual gets the tag money, rather than MDC, and it would be impossible to limit OOS hunters if they wanted to later. (Unless they switched back).

Yes, but they are required to allow the tag buyer only to hunt their private land as well as any public in the unit the tag is good for. The negative is these tags (15% of the tags in the draw) are reducing the tags available to the public, in many cases hunters with years of preference points. Allowing those willing to pay $$$ to circumvent the waiting process and get a tag each year possibly. The elk tags go for north of 10K in the best units and the deer 5K. The landowners must apply a tag in a drawing amongst themselves so to speak and don't receive one every year. The buyer must also pay CPW the price of the tag being either ressy or non ressy. Never bought one, I hate em as they add to my wait time to pull a tag in my favorite CO unit.
Kansas had these Transfer tags or "T" tags in the past and they stopped it, hard to believe its back on the table....I doubt it passes. Big money gets front row seats at ballgames, fast passes at Disney, best tables at the 5 star restaurants...why should they have to wait years with the commoners to hunt.

It will be interesting to see what they do. As already mentioned they used to do this. It has only been in the last 10 to 15 years they quit.
In my personal opinion I think if someone owns a butt load of land then I think they should be able to let whoever they want hunt as long as the state is getting the money they would normally get for the tag I don’t see an issue with it.Maybe it could have a limit as to 1 tag for every 250 acres owned or something depending on the species and the state.But I just don’t think there should be a drawing system for those hunting private land in any state.If my uncle owns 1,000 acres in Iowa I don’t think I should have to draw a tag to hunt his personal land and that goes for any state.I think people paying property taxes and managing big acerage should be able to let whoever they want hunt their land every year to a certain extent.Thats just my personal opinion beings I enjoy freedom

That is what I figured. Years ago I had an archery tag for an elk, self guided hunting on mixture of private and public land. I jumped up the biggest racked mule deer I've ever seen who took a few steps and stopped and stared @25 yards away. At first I thought it might be an elk, the antlers were that big. I didn't have a mule deer tag, but told the landowner about the sighting when I got back. He said I should have drilled it, and buy the tag from him. One of his hunters shot it later that year near the same place I had seen it. It was a super freak rack.
The public ground in KS is pretty good. I’m not sure there would be a huge change one way or the other if this bill passes. The hunters are already limited in the state.

Thats the thing, no one is waiting years to hunt whitetails in ks... MAYBE like 1 year in a couple units. Mulies is a diffferent deal....
