I'm blessed to own land in Ks. and I have watched the explosion of nonresident hunters which is fine, the numbers really increased around Covid I think due to Canada closing down for a couple of years. But with the draw system and at best getting drawn every other year it has caused a decline in loyalty to an outfitter and outfitter to hunter which is causing a RAPID decline in the number of quality bucks being taken, way too many 130 - 140" young deer being harvested because "the amount of money I spent I'm not going home empty handed" and outfitters allowing it since they don't have the annual repeat customers they used to have but still want to make their money. IT IS a problem and will continue to have a negative effect on the herd. In the last few years I have been approached by several landowners who are fed up with TV hunters, outfitters and sub leasers due to several reasons, mainly lack of respect for the ground and harvesting sub par bucks hopefully this is a trend that will help the herd in the not to distant future. For those of you who are looking for leases expand your search to "door knocking" don't fall for the sub leasing game. To those that have drawn, good luck and be patient.
