This is a simple case of supply and demand ecconomics. Only two ways to change a price of something. Increase the supply (which in this case probably wont happen) or decrease the demand. The price of anything is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. The price of a lease will not exceed the cost of owning that land. Otherwise people would buylandto hunt on. Guided hunt prices will level out at a place where there are more deer available to shoot than people willing to pay to do so. The value of a deer is determined by the hunter. Todays hunterhas determined the value by the size of the antlers.
The only way I can see to change the cost of hunting is to place less value on that bone riding the top of abucks head.Good luck!!
I agree completely
HCH this is 2008, not the 30's
Do I want it the way it is? No, do I understand why the way it is, yes.
My replies are about cash, sure, but yours are always why am I not getting something for free
I suggest you sell the pretty Harley that loses value the second you buy it and buy some land. Then you can let every Tom D!ck and Harry hunt on it, and just see how they "respect" your land when it's free. Look no further than how most treat public land.
Hunters abuse of farmers/Private ownersland has caused more non hunting signs than most think.
