Default RE: who pays to hunt?

Call me old fashioned, wierd or whatever, but I have a thing against paying to hunt somewhere. If the landowner is not going to hunt, and you a respectful person that won' t do something stupid damaging his property, why shouldn' t he let you hunt on his land? Especially if you share the meat.
I can' t imagine charging someone to hunt on my land.
I have mostly hunted on property I own.
I can maybe see charging someone if you are providing a service such as a guide, lodging, equipment, or maybe dedicated wildlife food plots.

I am not saying that commercial outfitters should not charge. They have there work cut out for them, insuring a nice harvest each year. I would love to go out west and hunt Elk or Mule deer, but I can' t even afford the non-resident tags!

It won' t be long until all the land will be bought up, and nobody will want to part with it, let alone let anyone hunt it without charging crazy fees!

Swamp thing...
that sounds awesome!
