Neither is being greedy with lease prices


Buncha democrats up in here. Dont worry, everyone in the US is going to get a taste of what socialism is really like over the next 3.5 yrs. He can charge anything he wants for the land. If you want to pay it, do it and hunt it. If you dont want to pay it, find something else or dont hunt. I hate where lease prices are going too but it is what it is and I do not begrudge any landowner from trying to maximize his return on the property he owns. Americans are their own worst enemy. Everyone wants to complain about new 4x4 trucks being $60+K, yet they still buy them by the millions and complain about what they just paid for it. If it is overpriced, dont buy it or dont lease it. If enough people have the same philosophy, then none will sell or lease and the manufacturers/dealerships and landowners will cut the price until they start to sell. Anybody really think that it costs the mills $60/sheet to make 3/4" plywood? Capitalism. As long as someone will pay it, that's the going price.


Yep, you’ve got me nailed DA. Capitalism and greed aren’t mutually exclusive. Capitalism isn’t always pure and it’s often used as a cover for just outright greed. For instance, in the example above that I made the comment on the landowner did NOTHING to improve the value of his property. He allowed the leaseholder to do all that for him, at the leaseholders cost, while harvesting a natural resource owned by the taxpayers yet he raises his prices..... what’s the justification? The property owner isn’t keeping the roads up, trimming trees, clearing roads, mending fences, repairing gates, putting lime in the ground.... that’s the leaseholders. So yea, I 100% stand behind calling him greedy and you can take Democrat and shove it up your a$$.
