Anyone who pays $100 for a day hunt probably has enough money they don't have to worry about it. I pay $200 for a season west of Graham and probably go around 25 times per year (less than $10 a day). The reason I pay is because the guy has about 20 fields around the area that he is constantly scouting and I can call at any time and he will let me know where the birds are. I also have several places I can hunt for free which I generally take the landowner with me and pay for the brew. I think we can all sit and argue about the topic of paying or not, but the main reason I do is that gives me more options.
