Growing up in Texas, a group would lease a ranch for whitetail/turkey/hogs. We then divided the cost and got a group to pay for it. When I was 18 a group of 10-12 people could get a nice place for about $50-75 each for the season. By the time I was about 30, this had gone to $500 each and took 20-25 people....this was when I decided to migrate to Colorado. $500 more than pays for both deer and elk...this counts tags and camp expenses...public land is kinda crowded and hunting is harder. Just a way of life here....before ole GI budy came up with his place. Costs are driving a bunch of young hunters out of the sport!! (old hunters too)

About a 1/3 of the state here is either state or federal land about half the u.p. and the top half of the lower when you get to the southern 1/3 there is almost none.
The most deer killed in the state are in the last 1/3 and leases can run frome paying tax on the land to 1000s hillsdale county were the wourld record 8 pointer come frome is in the 1000s. I have hunt the u.p and the southern countys and i have a soft spot for the big woods I might not kill the numbers of deer there but i have a better hunt.
