" don't agree with the point about leasing land to be farmed being the same as hunting it. When someone farms your land they make a profit off from it. Not really the case when someone hunts it. "

My point was,it is in the best interest of the land owner to do with his land as he pleases. If he allows hunting privalegs for free that is wonderful. If the land owner can lease it forfarming, hunting, fishing, recreation, etc. who are we to tell him what to do with his land.The last time I looked,we live in a free country.He owns it, and he must pay taxes on it. If he can generate revenue from any of these leases, to off set his costs, who are we to complain. We live in a capitalistic society. There is nothing free in life.
I'm very happy to be in a lease for hunting privaleges.We planto lease the land forlong term. Our members are not trophy hunting, were hunting and harvesting game. We do manage what weharvest and respect the wishes of the land owner.
