I've paid to hunt before, it just wasn't cash money. I've moved hay bales, mended fences, picked up trash and junk left by trespassing hunters, and helped paint a barn, at different times, and places, in exchange for hunting privileges. Either way, it is an exchange of value for the land owner. My biggest issue with leases, is that so many places get closed off from my type of value exchange due to cash is king, wallet hunters. More places get lost to the deapest pockets every year. I've seen company lease the Rights for thier employees only, or buy up the rights around the property they are hunting, to prevent competition from getting THIER deer. I don't like this trend.
No matter where you hunt, and by what legal methods you chose to use, I wish you well this hunting season, gentlemen.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
