If a company's land is growing 2 cords of wood per year, that's a stumpage value of about $20 per acre per year. It's not uncommon to get $10 per acre per year for the hunting rights of the same land, so the hunting lease is not an insignificant amount of money. Can't blame them for getting all they can, but it sure looks like they could let the man get his stands.


All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
