Actually yes I am. I am not pleased with the results of land being leased out for hunting, have never done it never will. I really don’t like outfitters telling land owners what to do with my land. I am from Illinois and here it is so bad with waterfowl hunters (outfitters) leasing land, last year one of them sent a letter to the DNR wanting hunting hours shortened so no one could hunt after one pm so the birds would have a refuge.
I really get hot over outsiders telling me what to do with a three generation owned family farm. I really get upset when some guy who is in it for the money tries to tell me that my kids can’t hunt birds when they come home from school. I really get upset when it becomes so expensive for a dad to take his kids hunting (I have ground but I know there are guys who do not take their kids hunting because they cannot afford it) that kids do not hunt.
As far as the taxing goes no one is really in a position that I know of that the money you make from leasing is going to make or break you. But being taxed as a commercial enterprise will break you right now and I really dislike the whole outfitter/leasing thing.
