I lease, as buying the size of property I want to hunt is currently unattainable. Leasing is great for me, yet I understand how it can impact others (I was on that side of the fence several times through the years).

I lease for two basic reasons:
1. I don't have to share my hunting grounds with anyone else.
2. I can manage the "herd" to what I want.

Do those reasons make me a bad person? Don't know, don't care. The fact remains that if the previous hunters hadn't trashed the landowner's property, I wouldn't be in the position I am today.
