Hi Joe,

You know that the majority of the hunters do not have private roads to hunt on. They do not even know where to go and who to ask. So the problem I can foresee is people changing their road cut animals to private property animals. So for those of you trying to pair up exact cut animals it could represent a problem. You are now going to have to hunt on private property and keep hunting that same acre, LOL. Another thing I have noticed is that after the ban on the snakes, the pressure seemed to lighten up. There was a huge drop in the price or value of the captive born animals also. They have since come back some. It used to be in the early days you would see cars on the xmas line up and wait their turn in a line. It was a zoo. Langtry was practically a car on every cut. I would guess with all the pressure in those ten years could have produced more animals then the following 20. Who knows. Many snakes were caught in that ten years. There were hoards of people hunting and the prices were higher for the animals taking into consideration the value of the dollar at the time. A river road would go for 300.00 to 400.00 back when the ban was in effect. Maybe 200.00 to 300.00 now for a wild caught. You would have to have been there to see it.

I was not trying to paint a wide brush but it is not hard to figure out that most people will not be getting permission to hunt on private property. I realize not all. Maybe a survey could be down to see who see spends all their time hunting private property and whose property it was. I guess they will have to post whose property that they caught in on anyway. If they truly did not have permission then I guess they would then be admitting to trespassing. So again wise not to post that you caught it on private property if you cannot back it up. After all all you guys that want them caught within a hundred feet would need to produce that information. I know that kingsnake.com as asked at times in the past that people not trespass on private property. Ric
