My annual survey of viewers asks your opinion on what needs changing to preserve and grow our sport. The number-one need is access to huntable ground. The funny thing is, there is a lot more land open to hunting than you may think.
Virtually every state has a program that pays landowners (usually with your license/fee/surcharge/tax dollars) who unlock their gates and let you in. It has a different name in each state, and the rules and procedures also differ. But the fact is, some sleuthing on the Internet, a drive here and there, a little bit of boot leather, and you’re in. Literally. While most seasons are over or winding down, it’s a good time to start laying plans for next year … on private land open to hunting.
Start here, in Kansas. Or Google “walk in hunting areas (state)” and good luck!
