RE: Well.....?
Flatheader: that boat don' t float??? Do you know how much hunting land each year is being turned into developments each year. Have you every tried to make a living ranching? Fewer and fewer can make it these days and the day of the small rancher is almost gone. I say anything a landowner can do to earn extra money and fend off thoughts of millions he could make selling the land is OK.
I personally know of many landowners in the Texas hill country that would have already had to sell out if it was not for hunting leases.
