part of the problem with leasing is that you may just handcuff yourself into poor herd management. Say you are allowed 1 buck and 2 doe, for example. You share the lease with 1 othe person, that's 4 doe max to come off that lease. If the farmer wants more taken or the herd needs more taken in that area, you're stuck.

I HATE leasing. I understand why a farmer would lease and I 100% agree it's his right and his choice and it may actually be the only thing that keeps him so that he can afford to keep the land. However, it blocks other hunters from using the land. Yes its the landowners right, but I'd rather hunt here in NH where most land is open with the knock on a door and a polite inquiry.
