RE: cost to lease land
My cost to lease is exactly zero , I don't lease and never will .
I've never had a problem finding somewhere to hunt for free , and I get offered more free hunting land than I can use almost every year . Even if I got no offers the public land that's an easy drive from my home is so underutilized that I usually have hundreds of acres all to myself , and sometimes even thousands when I hunt a local stretch of national forest .
I can understand why somebody who has no land available to them(probably because of all the rampant leasing[:@]) would , but I don't need to and never will .
