Im not going to pile on. And no, I dont think the whole state or more is going that way. I have seen it especially in leased land for bird clubs. At least those guys who will pay to hunt on private land, will be less likely to compete with the guys on a budget.

The day the ranchers stop allowing any kind of access, thats the day a lot of hunters are in trouble. We also dont know what financial challenges these guys have. If they had to sell, the next owner might not allow access at all. The guys in King County would probably love to live in those areas, but they dont have the tools for the trade. So they pay to play.

Go thru Oklahoma or Texas and youll see oil pumps and Wind Turbines. Its really no different. On the flip side is a place like the Bucks of Tecomate and that model allows other guys to make hunting better in areas that might not have been good in the past.
