Nope. Wouldn't support Ohio doing it any more than they did the last couple years until they make resident land owners pay for a license. And some day I hope to be an Ohio resident landowner but currently a NR landowner. Might be wrong but I believe Ohio is the only state that does that with Ohio resident landowners.
If your a resident in Ohio and land owner you do not need a license or tag to hunt your landNR landowners in Ohio do not have to buy a license or tags to hunt on your land, if the same rules apply for the state you reside in. I live in NC and you do not have to buy a license or pay for tags to hunt on your land.
Now if this rule has changed for this year please let me know. Our family farm was put in my name for the sole purpose of me not having to buy an out of state license.
So you’re saying that because my truck is more expensive and the fuel is more expensive.....that maybe my license should be free? That would help offset the cost of my trip. Thanks bud!So if I bought land, let’s say in AK, I should be bitching about tag prices? I would think my biggest complaint should be in travel expenses. Tags and such are what takes care of the game I’m after. With everything else going up in price, why shouldn’t these fees/taxes?
Example, 20 years ago the ONDR could purchase a truck for $15,000. Today that truck cost around $30,000. Fuel for that truck was around $1 20 years ago. So if we want an increase for those coming to the state for pleasure, why shouldn’t they pick up the biggest increase?
If I own a military surplus store, should I charge the troops the same price as the civilians for the same product? Our should I discount the troops and let everyone else carry the business? Maybe take care of those taking care of us.
Thatd be bad news, leave the scoring completely out of the equation for those that abide by the law. Shouldnt have to know what something scores on the hoof to see if you can afford it. Dad shouldnt have to pull his kids off a deer cause it's too big unless they're behind a fence. Now for poachers, hell yeah $ per inch, take everything they used to do it.How about this. Let's keep the NR fees the same but implement a trophy fee. Say $5 an inch. If that 170 inch buck is worth $850 to them then party on. A bargain considering what outfitters charge. And a hell of a deal considering the state has set the restitution value of any deer over 125 inches at $120 an inch.
Where coonskinners green smiley when I need it.

Also not for shutting down the outfitters. That's a business and theres something just completely wrong with wanting to shut down good American born and grown businesses especially the small family ran stuff which is the majority of your outfitters. Yeah there are some bad eggs in the bunch that do shady stuff and screw their clients. But most are exceptional stewards of the land they manage. If they werent they couldnt bring in thousands per week per hunter year in and year out.

In Ohio it is? Did they change it recently?same is true for nonresident land owners
No idea how long it has been, but this was what I found a couple of years ago.

I wouldn't either. If I'm going to own something and pay the taxes I'm going to own every damn bit of it. The other problem I saw was the sellers still acted like the property had the same value, to me it doesn't. That's like an owner select cut harvesting the property before putting it up for sale and still trying to charge the market rate. Piss off, you've stripped value. Severance is going to cause legal battles for generations to come in Ohio.
50-100K could be reasonable depending on the amount of acres one is purchasing. I had a friend pass away in 2011. He had signed a 5 year lease in 2010 for less than $100 per acre on his 88 acres. His heirs couldn't wait to cash in on his property. The had it auctioned off by Kiko in the summer of 2012. It fetched just short of 650K with mineral rights. I thought the family was crazy to give up the minerals, but today I'm not so sure. As fast as these wells slow down their production they may have made the right decision. Of course Ohio takes the word of the O&G companies as to production amounts, which I believe are bogus.
