RE: montana hunt lease
I think some of the anti-leasers are part of the problem. So you used to be able to hunt on Joe's land when you were a kid, and now you think you own it! Joe may need to make a few $$ and let someone else hunt it. Don't be mad at Joe!! He does not own the property so you can have a place to hunt. Ever hear of property owner's rights? If I owned some land and someone who I let hunt for years for free was bitching because I leased my land, I would never let him back on my property. I would rather let the deer die of old age, then let him back on my land!!
If it was not for the out of state hunters who pay about 85% of the block management cost, you would have a lot less land to hunt.
Just my $0.02.
