I don't begrudge the land owner trying to make an extra buck from leasing his land. Nor do I begrudge the hunter taking these leases. However, this will have an impact on hunting as we know it, and probably not for the better.
As more land becomes less accessible or more expensive to hunt fewer people will hunt. If there are fewer hunters there will be a negative impact on hunters from new laws and legislation. As time goes by there will be a cultural change and people in general will relate less with hunters. This will make it easier for the anti-hunters to pass their agendas, and could have an effect on gun ownership as well.
