In this area, only folks you see "walking around" hunting is bird hunters and when there is an organized drive to help thin an overloaded area. Also, there are only 6 or 7 hunters for our surrounding land (covers about 2300 acres). Each has their responsible area and can invite as they see fit but are responsible for anything that happens (to include crop/property damage by wildlife to an extent).
There is no trapping other than live traps and no relocating (allowed) of trapped pest animals. Poisoning like the famous flybait and coke will put you under the jail. Hunters hunt at first and last light and by night (hogs), shoot from a stand in most all cases, shoot to kill the first shot, and don't cause danger to others. If there is an organized drive hunt, it will be for a specific area and in the newspaper well in advance and there are signs and sometimes flag guys/gals on all roads leading in to the area.
Still room for idiots to slip in, but overall pretty safe. Animals are at an acceptable population, look good because they are culled (uneven antlered buck or a deer with an odd look, color, etc is taken out). Fox are shot on sight as are stray pets (unless the guy knows and can catch them).
It's funny, we make the chore loop and the animals just watch us drive by but let em hear one of the hunter's cars and they are gone.
As to the license itself, was just an ad in the paper, 3 solid months of all day weekend classes, 1 attempt on the test, and a couple other little things for just under $5k (converted)..... Fishing license is pretty tuff also and expensive with it's own set of rules and such... Sure, American soldiers and civilians can go thru a rod and gun club for a watered down version, but you then get to associate with watered down escorts and areas that noone else wants to use....
This in no way covers it all, just a outsider look atwhat happens locally...
