paid hunting properties ( woods and water.com )

Wrong. They call it "public" land, and there is plenty of it.

They are actually called BLM Lands , and are open to HUNTING.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior that administers more than 247.3 million acres (1,001,000 km²) of public lands in the United States which constitutes one-eighth of the landmass of the country.^[2] President Harry S. Truman created the BLM in 1946 by combining two existing agencies: the General Land Office and the Grazing Service.^[3] The agency manages the federal government's nearly 700 million acres (2,800,000 km²) of subsurface mineral estate located beneath federal, state and private lands severed from their surface rights by the Homestead Act of 1862.^[3] Most BLM public lands are located in these 12 western states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.^[4]

This map shows land owned by different federal government agencies. The yellow represents the Bureau of Land Management's holdings.


The mission of the BLM is "to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations."^[5] Originally BLM holdings were described as "land nobody wanted" because homesteaders had passed them by.^[4] All the same, ranchers hold nearly 18,000 permits and leases for livestock grazing on 155 million acres (630,000 km²) of BLM public lands.^[6] The agency manages 221 wilderness areas, 23 national monuments and some 636 other protected areas as part of the National Landscape Conservation System totaling about 30 million acres (120,000 km²).^[7] There are more than 63,000 oil and gas wells on BLM public lands. Total energy leases generated approximately $5.4 billion in 2013, an amount divided among the Treasury, the states, and Native American groups.

Yeah. That totally sounds the same as our Crown land, doesn't it?

How many times did the word "managed" get dropped? How many times was land referred to as "holdings"....

Grazing leases, timber leases....managed assets......yup.....

You can google all you want, but like I said, and you have yet to prove. The US does not have a Crown Land system, or anything remotely resembling it. Most places in the lower 48 are defined by borders, surveys, and are actively managed. NOTHING like the vast tracts of uninhabited land that we have just to the North of us.

leasing hunting land is a degrigation of all hunting in Canada. Anyone who does it should give their heads a shake. I would wait about 5 years and you will be able to buy farmland ultra cheap when agriculture goes tits up

The problem is, people use "Crown land" to refer to all kinds of land open to the public that is not in fact Crown land, and you're using "Crown land" to mean actual Crown land.

Yeah, cause people are eating less, and the world will need less food as the population continues to go exponential

No they are called BLM lands. Federal own and State managed and in most places not really differant then crown land. You got places that you can't use motorized vehicles ( I really like those), and some time of year controls.. But it is still public land held in trust for the public.

One of the biggest problems is I no alot of older people that brag about having more land to hunt on then they can ever hunt but yet there always on the search I spoke to one farmer last year had 200 acres he told me he had already given permission to someone else but that guy and he's group have not showed up in 2 years but still wouldn't let anyone hunt there because those guys had permission if ppl just had the land they need there would be more for every one else

If it were only agriculture use that put pressure on land prices, that *might* happen.
However, there is a huge demand for recreational property within about 4 hours of any large city, and that's not going to go away.

[welsh]

True. And not only recreational property. Good old urban sprawl and people moving out to "the country" as long-range commuters.
