I hear ya. I quit paying leases several years ago and started knocking on doors picking up very small tracts I can hunt on. The good part is all it costs me is a few messes of filleted crappie each year. After 50+ years and all the children grown and gone it only takes a few deer for me and the Mrs so Ive switched from the rifle to the crossbow. I still enjoy hunting as much as ever but not so much on the killin' part anymore. I'm MUCH MORE selective these days.
