I guess in a way I am neither for nor agains leasing. However, I can see why a landowner would not want someone on their property due to the liability. Someone falls from a stand and gets injured or worse, dies, the landowner could face a lawsuit. In addition, they have the expense of having that land (taxes) and yet no way to recover any of that cost.

Personally I have no problem paying a reasonable fee to ensure that I have a place where I can hunt and enjoy it without any interuptions. Plus I can hang my stands and for the most part, leave them without concern of them being stolen (knock on wood). The big advantage is knowing who is where on the property
