I already do and I'm not that old. The good old days are gone, look at your game regs under Elk Landowner Hunting Permits. You'll see names like 4-0 Cattle Company (30 permits), Silver Dollar Association (39 permits), Blackrock Ranches (14 permits), and so on. You will also see the phrase, "An access fee may be charged in order to utilize these permits". I don't hold an economics degree but this one's easy to add up. I would venture to guess that you will continue to see more property purchased and slapped with an access fee as prime public hunting land diminishes. Like most of you I'm not a fan of paying twice to harvest a public resource especially in the name of damage control or herd management.
