Asking just for general discussion reasons. Do you think the pay-to-play mentaility is because of the decreasing amount of land available to hunt? I know there are plenty of people who say they have tons of untouched land around them, but that is not the case for everyone.
Yes mostly because of the decreasing amount of available land to hunt, but much of that is attributable to more landowners not allowing hunting, outfitters and greed among hunters themselves. For example I know a few hunters who have exclusive permission to hunt thousands of acres and wouldn't dare think to let a few other hunters share just a little bit of it. I can't imagine how it must be for resident hunters in Pike County[:-].
