[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 1343442, member: 12099"] Well I can kind of understand how the guys feel and where they are comming from. When i first started leasing out there in the early 2000's a lease was fairly easy to come by and reasonably priced even for an "out of towner" so i bet it was really easy for the local boys. Now there was still a LOT of people hunting that area but nothing like there is now. Well its a different story now, I have lost a few leases to guys and clubs with more money even had a gun club buy a lease out from under us for almost 3X what we paid. The worst part now is u have guys that used to hunt/lease and realized its easier just to road hunt out there. So there are guys who will drive out there rent a hotel and hunt from the road instead of buying a lease. I have had guys circle my lease all morning long with orange hats on with the window down and a gun barrel out the window while I was sitting in my stand (lets just say they had a cross hair on the door of the truck every time they passed). Had guys last year sit in the truck at the road and watch my feeders while i was hunting on them, its hard to miss me with an orange vest in a tripod 50yrds from the thing. Now this stuff REALY ticks me off so i can only imagine how the locals and land owners feel about it. But its not fair that they say its all out of towners and considers us all to be the same way. Like stated above some of the locals can be just as shady if not more and we have had some real issues with a few. So land is getting leased up and the locals lost all the hunting they had for years and cant or dont want to compete for it.... ya it suck! But what the Grant Co. locals need to realize is this goes on all over the state not just Grant Co. [/QUOTE]
