Divisiveness and lack of recruitment seem to be at the forefront of the conversation. Applause to Zee, Ernie, Franchise and everyone else who is taking people-age regardless- hunting.

Admittedly, I belong to an exclusive LLC that has ?trophy? buck standards and guest restrictions. It costs a lot of money to buy into and maintain. Over 90% of my home state is privately owned and very few owners give unrestricted access. Those who do usually don?t for long. Gates left open, litter everywhere, but piles in inconvenient and unthoughtful locations etc. So now there is leasing costs. From $5/acre up is not uncommon.

There are a thousand variables I/we can?t control. But for those we can, we must.
