CRP

Why, when my taxes are paying for the Conservation Reserve Program to set aside land for wildlife, can I not hunt on this land? If the public is paying for this land, the public should be able to hunt on it.

Not only would this more than double the amount of public land that people are able to hunt (totally making that up, I have no idea how many acres are public vs. private), it would lessen the pressure on all public hunting grounds which would improve the hunting experience for everyone.

If people want to have truly "private" land, they should bear the financial burden. Some of these land-owners are even double-dipping by charging people to hunt on land that they're already receiving money for.
