Land leasing for any hunting purpose is the beginning of the end. Very few can or will pay the kind of money it takes to lease hunting rights. Eventually the only ones left hunting will be those wealthy enough to pay for land and that number will be so low that they will have no possiblity of defending their hunting rights. And the millions who no longer hunt because they have no place to hunt will also have no reason to stand up for the hunters that are left. This is how I think it will eventually windup.

here in ohio it is the coal companys that buy all the land up and the only way you can get permision to hunt is own land that boarders theres or tresspass.deer hunters are a problem to but i have found the people that own 3-6 acers are the ones that complain the most.my wife famliy owns a farm 7 people are the owners they all are crazy deer hunters but do not say anything about me coonhunting.they say they like me in there at night to stir the deer up it gets them moving before they get there.just as long as my dogs dont run them.i treed on my brother-in -laws treestand at 4:30am and he he pulled in to go deer hunting at 5:30 and shot a nice buck at 8:15 at10 yards from his stand.so that tell you hounds dont bother deer.just deer hunters!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is sad,but true.We are ALL loosing our good hunting spots. The day is very near that only the wealthy will be able to hunt.These hunting clubs who lease farms are going to help with that.And, wealthy people are buying up land to develope,some becoming hunting reserves.How many of you have lost your hunting spots due to farms being sold and developers buying it up? Happens everyday.
