Scott, I envy you very much! Maybe I will try to get stationed in Ohio next time!! I even figured throwing the military card in there would help. NOPE..

After reading Muliefever's story, I realized that things are different in different places. My buddy and I practically devoted last summer to the up and coming bow season. You would not believe all the farms we went to try and gain permission. And it worked, we got 18 new properties to hunt. Of course we got turned down a ton. But we developed a pretty good strategy in asking and next summer will be even better. So for us, we have no reason to lease...
However for leasing land, it isnt that common up here in N.E Ohio. But if someone has the money to spend on gaining prime land, well what is there to do?? not much. I guess it just hasnt hit me yet in my area.
I guess there is a different mentality around here, the landowners just wanted the deer dead. Countless landowners said "Kill them all." We are very fortunate to be in this position and I know its hard for some of you guys.
