What if a bond was required for contingencies? Or some other financial assurance. That's what is required for waste management sites and some in the chemical industry. Could we come up with a permit fee that could fund inspections for compliance with stringent regulations? That's standard stuff in the environmental compliance biz.

I still haven't come to grips with the fair chase issues. I know I don't agree with the higher level animal stuff. That is a slippery slope and begins the sentience argument so prevalent in the anti-hunting and animal rights groups. And they certainly aren't a higher level than cattle or pigs. I really can't see any defensible position there.

We could very easily paint ourselves into a corner here.
