[QUOTE="Allen, post: 243042, member: 389"] 1. I doubt it would have any direct effects, but it would certainly decrease the number of acres that landowners just leave out there for people to hunt without explicit permission. I can't imagine that many more would buy signs and post it as walk-in, or no permission needed. I have seen a few over the years, but that's not a very popular thing. 2. Because PLOTS is kind of like CRP. You pretty much have to "apply" to get a contract and since it's not a perfect program, I have to imagine that certain parts of the state will always be in higher demand based on habitat, desired species in that area, and other public hunting land availability. I'm clearly not an expert here but I do know the funds are limited and I'd have to imagine they have more acreage available if the money were there. Or some of the premium PLOTS that I enjoyed in years past would have paid enough to still be in PLOTS. I don't know the actual range of payment per acre, but I bet there's a huge difference across the state and the types of hunting the land supports. [/QUOTE]
