NH, I spank my kids (if they need it), think prayer should be in schools, to our family it is Christmas, Thanksgiving Day, and don't forget about Easter (Resurrection Day), but I do lease land.

We have a large family that loves to hunt together. Our whole family, brothers, parents and a nephew go together to lease a 450 acre tract. We are definately NOT rich. I have a 7 year old and a 10 year old that love to hunt. I like to know that when we go out, all of our family that is hunting know which stand we are in and we know where they are. How many posts have we seen here complaining that many people have permission to hunt a piece of property and someone walks past their stand or puts anothe stand nearby. With leasing, we have not had that happen. We can food plot however we want. We feel safer about taking the kids out (as well as ourselves) in knowing that there is not some drunk idiot just out of site. We shoot alot of does and have no interest in being a trophy hunter, getting a sponsor/endorsement, or ending up on a video. If we see a deer that we want to shoot and have a tag for it, we shoot it. Since we can't afford to own a larger tract like that, we lease. Someday, we may go together and buy a tract of land, but until then, this is our best option.

We have private tracts that we have permission, but so does many others. My son and I had a close call last turkey season, because we didn't know another hunter was on the same bird.

You can stereotype people if you like, but you might want to look at it from some other angles.
