I realize we may not have all the answers and these posts probably won't change the outcome. I just hope that hunting leases /clubs don't become something for the elite. Hey average Joe likes some good things too. I know you can take 1000 acres and pack 15 to 20 guys on it and keep out of pocket costs down, but it still costs in terms of the quality of the hunt. I see posts of clubs seeking members with fees as high as $2500- $5000 dollars .And to some folks that might not sound very expensive . Maybe I'm a little bit on the tightwad side.lol.
