I agree with you to a point. No offense taken, just good discussion. I agree with you to the point that the free ride is over. The part I don't agree with you on is hunting is a good family and young person education on disipline, respect and love of mother nature. The fact that we are selling every farm, every large forest land acreage to be divided up into sublots is putting you to the point of getting $1000+ for hunting leases. That is the part that is the free ride is over. We are selling our productive lands of produce, forest land, wildlife to the over population of this county, in return putting our dinner tables to those that are our enemies unless we are giving them money. Now in another point is that we are commercializing hunting to the point that it is all about the killing of the big buck and spending many thousand dollars each year on guns, ammo, camo, stands, leases, ATVs all for about 30-40 pounds of meat if you are lucky in a season. So, I agree with you it is a good business move, I disagree with the back lining to you statement that the free ride is over.

I thought your post said that the 60 acres was in Mon County. I understand your lawyer comments, but that is the legal system. You are not free from anything regardless how much insurance, signs, gates, whatever. If someone wants to put in court they will. My point should have been consider and know who you lease the property to, have a lease agreement stating liablities and then use your property insurance as back up. If a judge wants to rule you neglence then he would have to go through the lease agreement, and your property insurance first. At that point then you would have to been seriously at fault that you have caused an injury or death, or damages. Again just my opinion on it and didn't go to law school, so that opinion isn't worth much. But if the property was in Webster County then you do have a good piece of property for hunting lease and would feel better about your price.

What was your point on the timber company? Was that the company you bought it from?
