[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 1297063, member: 1863"] I'm on the other end of the stick and I will tell you it is difficult at least in Middle Tennessee to find land to lease. I have been leasing in Kentucky but cancelled out for 2016 because it was too far to drive to hunt weekends. I was only going for one week per year. Add lease fee, hotel, fuel, food, out of state license fees and it got pretty steep for 5 days of hunting. I have been looking for land nearby in Tennessee with good quality hunting to lease but I run into the same problems. 1) Some a-hole slob hunter before I asked about leasing didn't respect the land, landowner, livestock, property or the wildlife and now the landowner is leery hunters. of. 2) It is already leased. 3) Landowner wants to lease to me but also wants to allow his friends, family, co-workers to hunt it which is his right but ruins the solitude and the hunting for me. Not worth paying for. 4) Landowner wants to charge an outrageous fee for small acreage. I am probably the landowners dream hunter to lease to. I know and respect livestock, equipment, fences, follow the rules, hunt ethically, leave gates how I found them, park where I am directed and call ahead if I am going to hunt. I take extra legal does when asked to reduce the population and I even share the bounty if the landowner likes wild game meat. It is hard to convince the landowners that have been burned that there are some good guys left out there. I understand and I don't try pushing them at all. I got burned by some coon hunters myself.
