Agreed. It would be the leading edge of the Wedge to fully paid hunting. If a farmer is willing to give up Animal Damage Crop Insurance coverage to post his land no hunting, a couple of hundred for a tag isn't going to change his mind.
I have done a lot of hunting in places like Germany, which is 100% paid hunting. There are VERY few regular Joes that can afford to hunt, and a very large part of the States is becoming like that too. That will neither solve the access challenges or the over population. Prime example is Texas, the pig population is rampant because so many places can make significant money selling the hunts for them. All the neighbours have to put up with the over populated pigs that emanate from these locations because of it.
