I have never been so financially secured that I did not take every penny into consideration.
I don't think we are there yet, but here in Texas, I can see the prices for hunting leases starting to edge downward.
It is a sign that things are getting tight. I base this on the fact that a large number of these "prime" leases are leased by business. They lease to take their coporate customers on hunts.
I am a Cop, and while there are wealthy cops, I don't happen to be one of them, not complaining just stating fact. Paying the bills always comes first. In fact, I had planned to go on a Hog hunt at the end of Jan. 09. I will have to wait until the third hunt in March to go.
Better late than never I guess, just the nature of the beast.
I guess for me it has been a factor since I left my Dad's farm to make it on my own. I appreciate my hunting opportunities much better as a result.
