Hunters’ patience and compassion may be called upon again this fall when making hunting access arrangements on private lands in some parts of the state. Farmers, ranchers and other private landowners in many parts of the state have been wrangling with a summer’s worth of drought, low water and rains on freshly cut hay. "The best weapon in these situations is information-do the research it takes to understand and appreciate the current condition of the lands you plan to hunt," said Alan Charles, FWP coordinator for landowner/sportsman relations. Hunters can improve their chances of obtaining access by showing a heightened awareness of the condition of the land, calling at times that are most convenient for the landowner, and making every effort to accommodate a landowner’s concerns regarding access to his land.
