BigBore,

Sounds like you have a nice place.

Are the leases from other private landowners or are they from the state?

To answer your first question about paying treespas fees I would in certain circumstances. I however would have to make a trip and actually see the area.

I usually do not go looking for a place where I have to pay. There are many public lands in CO, NM and UT the states that I hunt.

But I understand the landowner issue. If I had a tract of land that large that had elk and deer on it, yes I would charge a treespas fee and would setup to offer guide services and the whole bit. Also depending upon the area the fees would be representative quantity/quality of animals on the place.

It is a great free nation that we live in. If we could just change the mindset of the left it could be even better.
