Just went and looked at 45 acres to lease for next year...guess what the price is...1,700.00..im like w t f ?..i told him that he was insane and that he could keep his lease i had no interest in it at that price my dad told him the same thing..at that price i can go to ohio and kill a 140 inch buck at a preserve...this leaseing crap is ridiculous.....
Exactly srtiek im sorry but i see no justification in these prices...1700 for 45 acres?...give me a damn break....
It's because of prices like that I'm glad my dad preached at a small country church. Older farmers who don't hunt begging me to hunt their property. 800 acres gained for free. I got lucky.
All about location and access. If he is right next to a huge outfitter that charges 3 grand for a week long hunt, and he is giving year-round access, it looks a lot less outrageous. If he is just some random guy that owns a little farmland, then yeah it's definitely steep.
That is just a lil under $38 / acre, pretty reasonable IMO. Especially if it is a decent property. Welcome to reality. Go try and buy some land for $38 / acre. You gotta pay to play.
Where was this? That's cheap for New Jersey. Here is an auction for 35 acres for 3k. They'll get it too. » 112.02 UJB/Sterling Pacific ? Montgomery
So you are not hunting this year because of financial reasons and leaving your team a man short now but your out looking at hunting leases? How does that work?
hell my family doctor charged my 1600 a few years ago to hunt on him he has 200 acres with only 5 acres in woods...all year I hunted and only killed one LITTLE doe...could have killed a MONSTER opening morning of rifle season as the moon was full and I could see him and another big buck in my corn pile but it was a hour before daylight and I just said .."better not"...its not fair or right...BUT GOD WAS HE A BRUTE OF A DEER.....
And you won't find many outfitters offering hunts at that price either. Add a grand..... and you can hunt 5 days. $1700 year round access, maybe turkey, and whatever else.... just saying.
So you paid 1600 to hunt 5 acres but think that 1700 for 45 is high? What is the ratio on the 45 acre parcel?
i was out looking for NEXT YEAR... the key word is NEXT year...hell boys its not like i had money to pay the man..i was just mildly interested in what he had to offer...if the price was right i would have leased it FOR NEXT YEAR...PAID HIM NEXT YEAR...NOT THIS YEAR ...i had a feeling someone might take this post the wrong way...
I am. I don't take it for granted and they know that if they need help around the place I am more than happy to help.
Heck, here in Central, IL farmland is going for $12,000-$15,000/acre The price does come down if the land is more for deer than corn/beans, but prices are crazy
umm i did not pay the doctor my dad did ...hell i only get 800.00 a month...not a whole lot of money if you ask me....
