Farmer Rights Over Land And Birds Rally For Less Regulation
A letter from a Nebraska farmer argues against game wardens and hunting licenses, urging laws to protect landowners rights and wildlife on their property.

The letter cites experiences at a poultry show in Omaha and warns of license holders trespassing, crowding fences, and harming livestock. He proposes landowner authority over game and suggests salt dispersal as a drastic remedy if birds become pests.
