[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 1358569, member: 9117"] Lease price solely depends upon location. Out in NW OK there's big deer, lots of food and lots of places to hide. The leases out there go for a premium. Land around central OK is generally broken up into smaller pieces when compared to out West. IMO, there's generally not as much cover or food as out West, especially if there's farm animals around. For that reason the deer generally aren't up to the "Trophy" expectations of a lot of people. Also there's usually people hunting on every section so if you let something live, it crosses a fence onto the neighbor and gets popped. That doesn't always happen, but happens alot. I remember the time we got to hunt a piece of land just for taking the owner out for a Chicken-Fried Steak and some conversation. Unfortunately, those days are long gone, I guess. What really makes me sick is you can't even find a place to bird hunt anymore. With deer I kinda understand, they're on somebody's land, but birds....! Heck, they migrate. They're not on anybodies land, they're just using the air space. Makes me sad at how greed and money influences everything. [/QUOTE]
