My cousin has a lease that is about 400. For 4 hunters, I think they pay somewhere around $750-1000 a per person a year.
It should be somewhere about $10-$15 an acre but there are a number of them that think because they are close to Buffalo County they should get $30-$35 an acre. They don't even care that you get 2 buck tags in WISCONSIN and only one in MN.
If a property is 100 acres and only 30 are woods and the rest are Ag fields you would just pay for the woods acreage right?
It would depend on the situation. Most fields have fence lines and spots where you could still hunt the fields. Most people want to get paid for every acre. If it was just huge fields and not many ways you could hunt them then I would tell that farmer I wanted to lease lets say 50 acres of the 100 and lease the woods and fields next to the woods.
Every landowner I've ever worked with has wanted payment on the entire acreage of the farm. Typically the cost per acre goes down as the amount of ag land goes up. So a 100 acre farm with 80 acres of timber would cost more per acre than one with 20 acres of timber.
