Lots of out of state outfitters are coming into our area and buying up leases. Makes it hard for locals without deep pockets to hunt. One thing I was told, and I don't know if it is true or not is that once the land is leased, the owner can then be held liable for someone being hurt on it. If he lets a hunter hunt without paying for it, he is held harmless if a hunter is hurt. Don't know if it is true or not though.
