[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4359118, member: 69"] There are a lot of things that have changed over the last 20 years. Economics is one of them. I know there are people that frown on leases and make the claim that it has been the beginning of the downfall of deer hunting but I can't really blame those landowners doing so. The better the land is suited to growing deer usually the more expensive it is to lease. Like it or not, deer is a commodity and you're going to pay more for a Cadillac than a Ford. When you do, you're probably of the mind set to optimize your investment by growing more deer and older, bigger deer. I think the major flaw in deer hunting today is the conflict in just how far to go and how exactly to go about this, particularly concerning neighboring properties. That "conflict" then spreads across property lines like some kind of cancerous growth until it becomes all consuming. That is what stands in the way of the good old days of deer hunting and it can be a chore to keep from getting swept up in all the rhetoric. [/QUOTE]
