You have a monopoly of beef packers who control the market, you have foreign cattle shipped into the U.S., with no country of origin labeling, you have property taxes, blizzards, droughts, floods, grass fires, ect....it is not an easy way of life. I have no trouble leasing hunting rights for myself and freinds and family. It is something I choose to do, and luckily, am able to do. Why someone feels the need to change the subject of my thread is beyond me, if that person is so concerned about whether or not to lease land for hunting, start your own thread. Thanks.
