Issues regarding the proposal to eliminate special black bear hunting opportunities for non-resident landowners and non-resident immediate relatives.

The true undermining issue is here that the government has failed to eliminate individuals from splitting property up into different ownership.
Example: A group of non-residents buy a 20 by four foot lot and then split that lot into four different lots creating four different deeds allowing four people to hunt a whole WMU.
Example: A individual buys a one acre parcel and then split it into four properties and other friend, family’s members buying those new divided property allowing four people now to get special bear hunting tags to hunt in that WMU.
Here are some solutions that could fix the issue without causing unfair treatment to non-resident land owners.
A solution to this problem is limiting non-resident to only hunting their own land.
Another solution is to only allowing property to be split so many times and non-resident can still hunt the WMU where their property is located. This eliminates having a property split creating multiple deeds.
Another parameter that could be put into place is limiting size of property that would qualify for a special bear tag. Example Property with 10 acres or more qualify for a special bear tag.
Another example would be only allowing a property under a certain size to be split so many times.

Other problems in your proposal:
It’s not a fair proposal to non-resident land owners that don’t take advantage of the lope poles.
It’s benefitting one party only the outfitters causing an unfair advantage.
It’s unfair to non-residents that hunt their own property only.
It’s unfair to non-residents that hunt in WMU where outfitters have not developed their area.
There are areas that outfitters have that do not use there outfitting license. Because it’s too far for them to travel and handle the outfitting.
This proposal could easily be made fair to all parties involved. I understand that outfitters would be mad by a group of non-resident land owners hunting in a WMU that only own a sliver of land and it split ten way to Sunday. This is absolutely unfair.
It also unfair to the non-resident land owner that does not take advantage of the lope pole and gets their one tag for his property. A solution to this problem is easier that just taking the right away from a non-resident land owner and making them pay extra to hunt in a WMU where there property is located.
