As I said in my post above on this issue...I think everyone has to pay in one shape or form and if you pay for a lease it doesnt make you a sucker...but I don't think the majority pay for dove hunting leases or day leases. I would think the majority have land they own that they can hunt on or know someone that will let them hunt on the land...now this "Free" hunt might actually be in exchange for something else so it's almost never totally free...but it might only cost you a case of beer or a few boxes of shells.
