A risk thats worth taking. Every time.

It is hunting w/o a valid license (citable offense) and loss of eligibility.

Sounds great. Lets charge that weird couple from Iowa who probably helped craft this thing.

They hunted on land they didnt own twice, put it on tv, and not a single person seemed to care

They didn't get that through 635. They got that through the Landowner Preference Permit Pool that has been around since 1976 that doesn't require you to hunt your own private land and has also been addressed this session with SB 235 which passed the Senate recently 50-0. So I think it's fair to say a few people cared.

What are the benefits and what were the costs? Who benefits and how?

Answer those questions - and unless you can afford a rich guys ranch to get a gimme elk permit in a LE unit i think youll find out.

Nothing wrong with a landowner getting a tag to hunt their own land. Most states do that, and I know one state that the tags are free for the landowner.
