90% or more of all the hunters I know detest leasing. To put it bluntly I hate leasing! But even I have one particular spot that I would lease in a heartbeat if it came down to it. I hunt private land by permission or public land, but I no longer have land by permission to myself any longer and those that I have to share with have virtually ruined a few properties by practicing terrible stand placement(within bedding areas), riding their ATV's, and using their trailcams. I can understand in some areas or states why leasing is so prominent.............if you don't follow you could be left out.

So far I am holding out on leasing, besides I really can't afford it. I do know one thing........wish I had been smarter many years ago and bought land when I could have.
