I've heard that in some places (eg, Kansas) where public hunting is allowed as 'walk in' on privately held CRP, the landowners get a break on property taxes. Is there any truth to this?
I think they get a check.
But yes, in Kansas and Montana the game departments lease the hunting rights from some private land owners and make it public hunting. There is usually an upcharge when you buy your license for "walk-in" or "block management" privileges. But it is not always CRP. Oftentimes it is ranchland or croplands, say alfalfa or wheat stubble or milo.
