I hear stories all the time about land being picked up by a few people and companies for the exclusive rights to hunt. How much of a problem is this becoming; is it becoming more crowded in the public areas? Are the huntable land getting harder to get access? I know here in Canada it is starting to be more prevalent, the only saviour is the huge amounts of Crown land still available.

The reason that I am asking is that I may be relocating to the south (U.S.) and because I can get work in almost every state, I am looking at the hunting side of the equation. I have friends in Wyoming (Big Horn) and they tell me unless youve been in the area for generations, good luck obtaining permission to hunt.[/align]
