[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5656607, member: 1409"] [U]It's the law of supply & demand[/U]. That said, those "willing" (and able) to pay for expensive private land leases appear to be dying out faster than they can be replaced (by younger hunters). The older hunters with the money are currently "carrying the weight" of the younger (and much less avid) hunters. As we older ones die out, many of the replacing younger hunters are more into just "meat" hunting than "trophy" buck hunting. They can get what they want from hunting without ever needing to lease anything. This will make more private lands available at more reasonable prices in the future, for those more avid hunters? [U]The dynamics are constantly shifting[/U], and in some areas, lease prices will keep going up, while they go down in others. One real "wild card" in Tennessee in particular is the spread of CWD and just how TWRA reacts to it. Another "wild card" is the economy in general. In the meantime, many TN hunters are weighing the merits of non-resident hunting in other states where most public lands offer greater opportunities at 150-plus-class bucks than even the really good private land leases in TN. This further reduces the demand (and price potential) for private land leases in TN. Add to this, many avid deer hunters are finding out, rather than spend high amounts of money on leasing deer hunting land in TN, there are are other things besides deer to hunt. Why not apply your former lease money to a caribou or moose hunt in Alaska? [/QUOTE]
