I have no dog in this Kansas fight but I used to be a nrlo in Iowa. Btw I’m so happy I moved to Iowa. When we would debate the Iowa nrlo issue back in the day a common argument was “you knew the rules when you bought here…”. Well the rules in Kansas were a nrlo got a tag, now it’s changing possibly.
As we all know landowners put a ton of blood, sweat, tears and money into their properties. At the very least current nrlos should be grand fathered ; with the new rules applying to new purchases. Fair is fair.
I think there are guys on here who own land in Kansas. What do you think??
This is for sure reasonable.
Lemme pose a real issue for u that kinda fits into this… “sorta” …. I’m not taking a position but how would u respond to this??
Some states are changing laws to limit or eliminate foreign ownership of land. CHINA. The lobbyists that are paid by china- that’s 1 small point in their argument “foreign owners bought under that pretense. You can’t yank the rug from under them after u made the rules & they followed”. Very similar argument. Clearly, hostile foreign countries owning land here is a very different dynamic but… how would u respond on that? Those state’s POV (proponents of the ban) will say “it’s our land, our state & we decide the laws (we want foreign ownsership ended IMMEDIATELY)”… & in several cases, those states have changed the laws. SD for example.
Right, wrong or indifferent to the states being more NR restrictive… (leaving my opinion OUT)… it’s gonna happen more. The residents of EVERY STATE are getting louder & more frustrated every year. Out west is always 10-20 years ahead of the pack. The “u can’t get a tag here” or “u have a super long & hard draw” have been in place for decades. Or gotten more restrictive over time. Colorado was the latest of western states to tighten things up.
States being pounded by NR’s (again, not OPINION- just stating facts) where there’s growing discussions & movement to restrict NR tags or access…. MO, OH, KS are the top 3 that come to mind. IL has a lot of heat & discussion on this but I won’t put them on the list as that state is so corrupt- $ will be the ONLY deciding factor in that state. I would predict IN & KY will likely be debating this as well. Any state that has “good quality Whitetail’s” will have NR’s flocking to it. & A growing resident movement to restrict it. States with poor quality hunting will have very little pressure to change NR access…. MI or MN for example.
Again- not stirring the pot, not voicing opinion but pointing out, IMO - why & when we are seeing some state-populism driven regulation changes. & I’m not at all in this camp BUT…. The farmers/ranchers in all these states are getting more frustrated, loud & organized every year. Wouldn’t surprise me if the farmers/ranchers had even more pull than the R hunters of XYZ state.
