[Let um land]

Here is the norm, most leases increase by a percentage per year. The days of a hand shake on a set price are gone. Taking care of the property means nothing. It comes down to the $. A lot of companies pay top dollar for the right place, that leaves most trying to hunt "gar holes" as said previously. But the worst, has to be worrying about whom to take hunting, being out bided by a "friend of a friend" that was taken as a guest on a property. I personally feel that the average guy will not be hunting in the near future without having the right connections/ friends. As for more public property, that means someone has to loose there land/ lease. Can't give to one without taking away from another.
