[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 201700, member: 704"] Ghost I think the no tax is an empty argument. If there are no people living on the land there are no children to educate, so no taxes needed for that. If there are no people living on the land their is no need for tax money going for roads. If there are no people with no houses on the land their is no need to support the fire department. If there are no people living on the land their is no need for them to pay taxes. If 36 sections of land need X amount of money to support these things and someone buys 18 sections and pays no taxes the tax rate for individuals on the remaining 18 sections should stay the same. It's an empty argument. As far as the APP I have some reservations, but I believe the average person who can't afford to pay $3000 to hunt deer will be able to hunt this land longer with APP ownership than private ownership. Sure they will let their friends on, but others will pay. The whole country is fast turning to pay to play/hunt. Texas was the first, but when it starts it expands like a fire. I am uneasy about who donates. However, like mentioned the Nature Conservancy hasn't gone out and stopped hunting as predicted years ago. Every time a conservation organization gets going on a project there are always those who will tell you the sky is falling. Some are simply very suspicious which I totally understand, while others don't want competition which is supposed to be the American way. They like competition for everyone but themselves. [/QUOTE]
