We lease timber company land and pay an amount equal to the taxes.
Interesting. In Michigan we have CFR (Commercial Forest Reserve) land. The state gives the owner a tax break to allow the public to hunt and fish the land. The owner can limit access of wheeled vehicles and camping, but foot access is allowed.

All of that hassle is why I quit leases years ago. It’s much easier to pay for a guided hunt. I get fed, waited on & don’t have to get my hands messy.
The biggest part of our lease is cooking, getting work done, cleaning up, its a family affair, even though we are adopted into that family. Love tracking, cleaning deer, love watching our dog trailing deer.
I don't think I could every really accept being waited on hand and foot.
But thats thankfully we don't all like the same things! IT would be a boring world.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
It was good reading this thread and to know I am not alone. Dad sold our 526 acres in Woodville MS this past August, for 1/2 price too, he got old quick, started making poor decisions and its gone! Can't tell that man anything. Had that land since 1991. The deer hunting the last 5 years was just the best ever, we were killing big bucks.
I still have my 40 acres in the swamp and I will still kill 1-4 deer a year, But there are no big rack bucks like MS had. I think about losing MS everyday. 30 years of memories that are kinda painful now.
I am looking for a lease but in Louisiana, it's hard to find a decent spot period - not even talking about the money yet, just find a good spot if you can....
Public land in Louisiana IS A JOKE and yes bullets whizing by your head... BTDT... in the Atchafalaya Basin and on LA WMA's - horrible like described above
I hunted Three Rivers.....twice! That’s where I was “enlighten” about those that shoot......Way before sunrise! memtb

You don’t ever want to blow a grunt call or doe bleat at 3 rivers, red river, cocodrie or grassy lakes. Ever. Throw in Thistlewaite, too, along with west bay. Ever.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
One thing is for sure...you can be an [bleep] and still hunt public land. If you are an [bleep], constantly stirring the pot, insulting people and arguing about everything, you probably won't be invited back on private property, or a lease. People like that take the fun out of the experience quickly!
Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...
