On the contrary ruffhunter. I belong to an association that uses leases to acquire land for hunting. It's not anywhere near where I live though. I think in the right circumstances leasing is great. My point was (since I'm from Ohio) that if I had the money it costs to lease land nowadays, I would just go the extra mile and buy my own. That way you aren't renting an apartment so to speak and throwing away money. The lease I'm involved in is rare and hard to become a part of but now that I am I will be a part of it for the rest of my life.
