JRW,

Too late, your rudness prevailed. By the way, it wasn't a complaint but a simple realization. Leasing really is becoming a sport for the wealthy. I don't like paying $5-6k a year for a place to hunt but I will. I refuse to pay $8500 and find it amazing that demand is getting that strong. Also, I suspect your $50 per acre is for small parcels like 100 acres, not 3000.
