About half of the fee-hunt landowners surveyed lease to hunting clubs or outfitters. The lease agreement may stipulate that hunters are to post and patrol the property and repair any damages caused by hunters. Typical services provided under a lease system include a place to camp, water and firewood. Half of the landowners issue trespass permits directly to individual hunters. Under a permit system, landowners expect to post and patrol their property themselves and cover all expenses associated with the hunt.
