Owning your own place is going to become important to the middle class if they want to continue to hunt, or hunt public land. Leasing is quickly becoming unattainable.

This....

I was fortunate to acquire my own hunting club that I pay a small lease fee on each year (county taxes). Pre-covid money.... which helped alot.

As more and more folks get priced out of hunting leases, do you think there will be a jump in poaching problems across the state?
Yep. Folks are going to kill stuff, whether legal or not.
