I would absolutely love for you to tell me how one man/family is supposed to pay a farmer more than what an outfitting business can. Must have some pretty deep pockets or something.
You obviously dont know much do you? Outfitters lease many farmers land. They lease land for about $20-30 an acre. Are you telling me that is outrageous? I know of some prime spots that outfitters are leasing land for that price.
So you dont know of 3-4 guys that wouldlease a 200 acre farm for $4000-6000 a year??
You can't tell me what is affordable. And yeah, you're right- I don't know of three guys thatcould pay $2,000 each to hunt. Maybe they would WANT to, but being ABLE to is a difference. Some people can't afford that. And even if they could, what would the other option be if the outfitter, like most would do, offered more than what the typical hunter can?
Well if I cant tell you what is affordable then I guess I cant answer YOUR original question! The majority of the people against outfitters are those wanting free, privately owned hunting grounds.
And by the way...I know many people that would $2000 a year for 200 acres of prime hunting and you would find many on this site that would!!
