Not necessarily correct! I know landowners that had 7-8 pref points on vouchers this year, and certainly will be lucky to draw a tag, when looking at the number of applications with the same points. GUARANTEED, before long some of the vouchers will be up to 10-15 pts to draw, just check the stats.
The private land vs public argument, I don't necessarily disagree with you on that one. Especially in areas where the unit is dominated by public land! But would you then agree that in places like eastern Colorado where 95% - 99% of the land is privately owned, that far more than 15% of the tags should go to the Landowner pool????
4000fps - Man, you keep going to this "entitlement" thing, with complete disregard for the fact that Landowners purchased and paid for their property with after tax dollars, and continue to pay COLORADO property taxes each and every year! They didn't get the land by some Entitlement program for the wealthy, that the rest of us were left out of. Its not entitlement, its called "property owner rights". As for the 160 acre thing, I guess they have to draw the line somewhere. What's wrong with them getting a small piece of the pie, that help help provide for?
Besides, NOTHING is stopping you guys from buying your own landowner tag, and accumulating points along the way. Why don't you just do the same?? Or is the answer, you can't afford it, so no one else should be able to do it either?? That is Socialism my friend! "Let us all live in misery together, rather than a few good men prosper". Hell, I can't afford a Ferrari either, but I am not trying to outlaw the sale of Ferrari's because someone else can. Good for them, its called the American Capitalist spirit, that allows us all to prosper should we so choose.
Lastly, as for selling your tags, I'm all for it! You don't need to convince me that it would be a good idea, if one chooses to do so. You need to convince the CDOW.
