    If a person doesn't need to have a hunting license to hunt their own property, how can hunting license rules pertain to that property owner?

    This is the part I don't understand.

    Landowner also has to check in the deer they take on their own property. The only safety reason I can see for this is so hunters on an adjoining property can see you. I was up in a treestand one time and watched another hunter climb up into a tree 'house' with his folding chair, put up his burlap screen and settle back in for a minute before he jerked up and looked at me. I just waved. He was on his land I was on mine and neither of us had orange on.

    Landowners still have to have the license or id (free) to have a DNR id # so they can check in using the phone or online system.

    Ok, so it's ground blinds only? I have a raised blind, 8 feet off the ground. Does that require orange markings?

    One of the regs some landowners hate is the furbearer permit. No lisc required to shoot deer, but have to buy a 5.00 stamp for a coyote? And how about the stupidity of not allowing you to shoot a furbearer on sunday, esp a coyote?

    Think I'll buy my license today. It's the unofficial beginning of the 2017-18 hunting season.

    The regulations will probably not be ready until the middle of the month.

    The current digital version is still showing last year's regulations.

    I can see some of your concerns for why to wear it all the time, but when I am on my property that the bank doesn't own and I pay my taxes for that property I don't think they should be allowed to tell what I have to wear. Will I do it, yes. but I think it's just one more thing they are sticking their fingers where they don't belong. Look for a big spike of orange at the stores this year.
