That is one reason why I don't like to hunt the mid west anymore. I like to be able to hunt open land and gain permission with a handshake just like it is here. The new mid west hunting is all about the money and something is lost in the process. Pay to hunt or leasing is a blight just like posted land. Once it starts it gets worse and never ends. It is like a catch 22 though. When the deer hunting gets great for large mature deer then the money comes into play and it is never the same.
