During the 1993 Legislative Session many hunting related bills were 

 presented by landowners, sportsmen, and outfitters. As a result, 

 House Joint Resolution 24 was passed to address the strained 

 relations between landowners/outfitters/sportspersons. The 

 Governor appointed a Private Land/Public Wildlife Advisory 

 Council. The council presented recommendations for legislative 

 changes in the 1995 session. Recommendations included providing 

 tangible benefits to private landowners as an incentive to allow free 

 public hunting. Funding would be provided from outfitter- 

 sponsored non-resident deer or elk combination big game licenses.
