RE: cost to lease land
If my wife found out the farm could be leased for what the outfitters are willing to pay I would be losing my own hunting grounds.
Based on the way it is going the woods will soon be leasing more then the tillable. With $2 corn it might be happening quicker then we all think.
A good amount is leased in Carroll county already and the guys who have hunted land for years get afford the leases and the land owner can't afford not to take the money.
