It sure isn't easy, and its almost as tough hanging on to what you have. Leasing and outfitters are gaining ground in my area. Only thing I know to do is to knock on doors and be prepared to hear no a lot.
I've always been against leasing but if it ever comes down to it, I will.
I am with you there, I have always been against leasing, but I have gone from having several really nice areas to hunt, down to 1 property. I will be pounding the pavement looking for new areas, but for the first time in my life I would consider buying my own property or leasing. As the other poster put it, it's not going to get any cheaper, and I'm not getting any younger! Also I would really like to not have to worry about somebody being in my hunting area when I want to hunt, or especially when I have a relative in town who would like to hunt.
