[QUOTE="Petras, post: 159429, member: 216"] I've only hunted in montana 1 season and I like the way they do their Block Management system. I also would be more than happy to pay a small fee for a stamp that would get me onto different levels of PLOTS land. The only hiccup That I could see with the Block management style system is that our wardens are already spread pretty thin. The boxes on the corner of the hunting lot would rarely be checked by a warden and if a landowner checked it and found that someone was hunting without having signed in, it would take hours for a warden to get there... not knocking our wardens, it's just that they have rather large areas to cover and there aren't a whole lot of them so covering distance would take time. I feel that this could cause a problem with the system if landowners are having to wait for hours just to get a warden to the area to deal with unruly hunters. I do believe that having a Block Management system in place with documentation for whoever accesses the land will draw many landowners to participate. I very rarely have problems getting access to posted land. What I've found is that about 8 times out of 10 the land is posted because the landowner just wants to know who is on their land and if you go talk to them without being a dousche they will usually let a guy on. I am also a firm believer that a couple packs of sausage and walleye fillets go a long way when trying to keep up relations with land owners. I feel that this has gone by the wayside with many of the folks who hunt now days. [/QUOTE]
