Privatization is increasingly becoming a serious problem. Here in my home state we have a "nuisance tags" program which gets abused heavily. Basically large acreage owners get 10+ extra tags every year no questions asked because they have a "deer problem" which then get handed out to those willing to front the cash to lease. That's one angle that could be explored to help with access. Restrict "nuisance tags" to only landowners that enroll property in an access program maybe? We're only going to be able to fight against the leasing trend if we refuse to subsidize it and somehow come up with a better incentive to offer landownersThat depends on how you look at it, I guess.
Privatization of the monetary value of the privilege to harvest a big game animal: yes.
Privatization meaning that the hunt must occur on private land, not necessarily.
