Exactly what the farmer thinks ry. When you have done something all your life, a ton of sweat and basically for free then you have to start asking for money to hunt because it is the only way you can make any. Don't think that greed drives a lot of these guys to charge for hunting. The price farmers and ranchers are paid for their commodities have changed very little overthe last 50 years. Think their operating expenses are still the same? I bet you would be surprised to see the net income statement on their tax returns every year.
