RE: Iowa land owner
Yep, Mizzou, not all land gets leased to saints who will respect the property and adjacent land. You are often taking just as much of a chance as giving people permission to hunt. Someof those folks may be bad, but lots of others help to take care of things as good as many leasors. There are a number of people that i let hunt my land, but I wouldn't trust either of the two biggest leasors inmy area anywhere near it.
And, as I said in another thread, the lease money will, in some instance, be just enough to cover the crop damage if the people leasing the land are only interested in taking a couple big bucks off of it, and the does and young bucks are allowed to run wild. I don't think that too many people take that into account when someone waves a checkbook in their face though.But, with corn at almost 5 bucks a bushel, that is something to consider.
