It is all a big money game now from the increasing price of big game tags to the PP system which adds to the costs and is poorly managed and that is just the government/ state side of the issue. Anyplace where head bone grows large has gotten more and more into leasing. There are still farms around here that allow hunting for free but anytime one of them starts to lease it spreads like a cancer in that area. I can't blame the farmers who are just trying to hold on to their land but it certainly eliminates the possibility of hunts for many people without large financial resources.
