Leasing land will become more and more necessary, unless you are going to hunt public land. Many of the larger paper companies are selling their timberlands, and depending on who buys the lands, a lot of people are going to be without their old hunting land. International Paper, the largest of the paper company landowners, is about to sell over 6,000,000 acres and that is going to impact a lot of hunters. If you have a private lease, you need to do everything you can to hold on to it.
