I run two clubs and I can tell you this year is going to be rough on my members!! The cost of everything is stupid expensive now and some folks have no choice but to put family priorities first. I have a feeling there will be some large turn over within clubs and more land available for lease in the near future. I can tell you we will be adjusting the spending we control accordingly. We simply can not afford to do what we have been doing on our budget.
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
Comes to us at midnight very clean.
It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.
It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."

While I agree it is getting expensive I still believe when there’s a Will there is a way. A large portion of the people who complain about prices Piss money away like there’s no tomo of things that are far far from needed!
Can’t have vehicles ever reach paid off, smoking, dipping, drinking, eating out daily, buying homes way bigger than needed, ole lady’s shopping constantly and always remodeling their kitchens etc etc the list can go on forever.
Grandparents built one house, 3 bed 1 bath and 1200 sq fr and raised three kids in it, stayed there until they died, never once owned a new vehicle and always packed lunch and ate at home.
And equivalent family today needs 2500 sq fr house with 4 beds 3 baths, two new 60k vehicles and eats out most days.

We are about to see the biggest shift ever to elites only hunting. The old “rich man’s sport” joke won’t be quite as funny. Middle class man with a family, and no family land, will have no chance. And the domino effects of that will get interesting. I just don’t see that. You will see a huge swing in illegal hunting activity for sure.

Everybody has a new truck and atv and wants to hunt but when time comes to pay dues they all have a sad story. Same about work days, nobody has time but they sure have time to hunt though.

Surprisingly my lease didn’t go up this year. Still haven’t worked out details on the other.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I think continuous land lease escalation, and fertilizer/fuel inflation is going to cause some sort of shift. There has to be a breaking point. Possibilities:
- knowledgeable people quit due to their clubs being forced to accept more members than they should to keep costs down. Low quality members reduce the experience for everyone. Some people leave the sport.
- wealthy hunters gobble up what the average guy can’t handle
- folks who are too passionate about the sport (relative to their means) over extend themselves to pay for gas, lease, everything else that goes with the season
I hate it. I sure hope there’s some relief I think all of those things have already happened to some extent, and they will only get worse from here. It's all part of the left's plan to destroy the American middle class.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Exactly!! The ones in our club that bitch about money for hunting are the ones that spend $100 or more every weekend on beer!!
