well i have been talking to some of my neighbors that lease their land out. i asked them why and the top two answers are as fallows. #1 money to help with diff. things #2 so they don't have to deal with all the unethical scum bag hunters out there. think about it from a land owners point of view. you let some guy you never met before go onto your property and he cuts a fence or leaves garbage all over. he drives his truck threw your field after you told him not to. just because hes to lazy to drag his deer out. so getting to #2 it is easier to let some one lease it be it an outfitter or an individual that way you know the rules will be fallowed and you don't have to deal with it. because if they don't fallow the rules you just end the lease and try some one diff. some of the lease i have seen from diff land owners have it in the lease that states if the rules arebroken the lease will be null and voided and no refunds. they said they always get the money before the season starts. we as hunters need to remember that hunting private ground is a privilege not a right. my biggest pet peeve is when somebody stops and asks permission to hunt and i tell them no they get very pissed off. last year i had the window of our tractor shot out by someone trespassing when they were hunting. never caught the ass**** either. any ways that's just my two cents.
