I think the high cost of finding land or not being able to find any land to hunt at all is a big problem. It can be hard to find land to hunt around here, very, very few leases because just about every landowner hunts or has kids or grandkids that hunt. There is public land, but that also brings its own set of problems. I know people who have just given up, saying there isn't anywhere to go anymore without all the hassle that can come with public land and pretty much quit hunting altogether.
i agree with this 100% if you think about it if you dont know someone with land that you can hunt you are SOL. Hunting as my dad puts it is a "Rich mans sport" because to kill deer you need a bow and all the must haves but if you don't have land that you can hunt there is nothing you can do. i mean yeah you can go to an outfitter every year but that just cost even more money. and yes there is public land but you never know if that bone head is going to walk right past you and wave and act like nothing is wrong and ruins your whole hunt. So yes i think hunting can be expensive if you need land to buy/lease but to answer the question in wisconsin i dont know of any organizations that dontates anything to help out people who would like to hunt at all.
