First of all the proposed program would be voluntary for both the hunter and for the farmer. People can choose to participate as they see fit. The way it would work is that every hunter that chose to participate in any given season would buy pheasant stamps for a nominal fee. With those stamps they would be given a map of participating farmers. When a hunter chose to hunt on the property of a participating farmer they would call in from their cell phone to an automated phone system. The hunter would key in his or her stamp number and then the code for the field they want to hunt in. The automated system would give them a pre recorded message from the owner of the property. The message would indicate whether it was ok to hunt there on that day. The messages could also include tips (for example: "I've seen many pheasants in the south east corner by the stubble." Or "Please stay at least 50 yards from the house on the north east corner", or "I'll be working in the field, so I am not granting permission today" etc.).
The owners can limit the number of stamps they will honor in any given day. The system would also allow the farmer to call in at any time to know exactly who is on their property (by tracking stamp numbers). This way if they see someone in their field they can check to make sure the hunter has called in. Also, if there are any problems they will know who was on their property, and they can block those people in the future. The further benefit to the land owner would be a result of the nominal fee. The fee would transfer directly to the owner of the property that is being hunted regardless of whether the hunter harvested or not, however the fields that have a high pheasant population would be the ones that the hunters go back to frequently, and therefore would receive more revenue from the stamps. This encourages the farmer to create pheasant friendly habitat to restore Idaho to its former hunting glory.
