I don't think he is blaming the landowners for accepting agreements/contracts with outfitters. He is just saying that when money does show up, there are consequences.
That's how I see it.

No, I think what he's saying is that landowners shouldn't be allowed to charge an access/trespass fee, so that those who can't afford to buy their own land can still go hunting.
Strangely enough, in "conservative" Alberta it's illegal for a farmer to charge or make a deal to allow access for hunting. I could never figure that one out. Then again, thanks to Trudeau, we have no property rights in our constitution anyhow.
Did I mention I detest socialist thinking?

Not sure what he says, but my opinion is that paid access contributes to the problem of the commercialization of wildlife.
I am a landowner, and I have no problem allowing access to hunt the publicly owned wildlife - and have the hunters do me a favor in controlling animal numbers.
I detest socialist thinking too, but am smart enough to know that when I receive help from the government when cattle prices tank (mad cow) etc, that the tax dollars used to help me might come in part from the folks who wish to hunt my place too. I think in a sense they have paid for there access already.
The real "conservative" component of the Alberta government has a bill on the books (bill 36) that is much worse than anything to come from Trudeau. If you believe in property rights it is worth doing a bit of research on it.
Be careful of what you ask for.

I don't really care what you think. It's illegal to charge for hunting access, PERIOD. I have my own land and restrict hunting access to a few groups.

I don't believe it is in SK and know for a fact it isn't in MB.
Should it be illegal for oil companies to pay for access to drill and extract oil? It's a natural resource as well. Give that one some thought.
I don't believe you are allowed to say no to the oil companies. You can say no to the seismic, but if they find oil, the oil companies will come and drill.
You can say no to hunters on your deeded land.

If they really want to drill it is pretty much impossible to stop them.
They are pretty different resources - apples to oranges.
It is pretty hard to cuss a farmer with your mouth full, but it should be equally hard to hold your hand out to those who indirectly help pay your bills.....
I think of all the guys who worked on running fundraisers during Mad cow, who helped promote our products etc. They were not just "citidiots", but rather our biggest supporters by consuming our product, helping promote it, fund raising and helping indirectly via taxes. I am as proud to have these members in my community as they are to eat Alberta beef.

Just checked your website, so I'll spare myself further commenting on this topic. I've ran into a few of your types before......the same ones who applauded Alberta farmers for denying American bird hunters access because of mad cow. Some supreme intelligence there.
FWIW, I'm a farmer so you can spare me the "food lecture".
Have a great Holiday season !!
Thankfully it's illegal in SK to charge for access for the purpose of hunting.I don't believe it is in SK and know for a fact it isn't in MB.

You can say no to the oil company drilling on your land, they will just horizontal drill from right next door.
As for refusing access to hunters the person should have the right to do so, but they should not be able to charge fees for access as they do not own the animals that cross their property.
If charging for access was allowed people would bait the animals into enclosures and fence them in, effectivly ending the ability for many to hunt.

What is my type?
Can't say I ever applauded landowners for denying American bird hunters access because of mad cow. Not sure how you made that stretch...
Have a good Christmas yourself.
