Obviously discussed in the past several times, but gaining access to the leased lands is not as easy as just asking. Several lease-holders have restrictions on the number of people they allow on (rightfully so) and several have restrictions on the lease access. Also, its quite easy for a leaseholder to deny access because they have 'given' access to someone else.
Several interesting problems with the leaseholder access, although overall the system has worked well. I have never had an issue with it, and the only place I was denied access was due to fire hazard. I called the leaseholder back a week later after some rain and was allowed on with no problems.
Some have had major problems with it...I've never really had much of a problem. The mediator can be used for problems and from what I've heard, it works quite well. Still, if a leaseholder is not cooperative, he/she has quite a few options to attempt to block access....
