[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 4359166, member: 7419"] I agree with you from this standpoint and mentioned that in the post. People say we are in the good ole days, due to the abundance of deer. I also agree with you on the negative comments and not caring about them, but like Mike Belt said, the problem is all these people who don't know when to stop and think their management philosophies extend across fence line and the whole state for that matter. I understand hunting by permission is pretty much of the past, unless you know someone with land that doesn't hunt. I also do not blame land owner's for wanting to make some money off their investment, but a recreational hunting lease should be around $4-5 an acre and due to people being hyper competitive over deer hunting and having the mentality that they will do whatever it takes to slant the odds in their favor, they swoop in and offer $10-15 an acre, which is higher than most can pay. The only ones that benefit is the ones that can afford those prices and that is what will be the death of the sport. Not land leasing, but over paying for leases and driving the prices up in the market. If everyone would just get back to being happy with killing deer, and the comradery of hunting with people you like and love, the prices would eventually drop as people will just not be willing to pay those prices. Before anyone says it can't happen, IMO I don't think there is ever a point of no return and you can change the path you are on. Of course if enough people quit and they outlaw hunting then obviously then it is too late. [/QUOTE]
