The SOB called the camp boss today. He told him he was offered 10,000 more per year to lease the 1300 acres we have. He said we could match it or get the hell off. We are paying 2500 a gun now. That place isn’t worth what we are paying now, much less 3500 a year. We have had a hand shake agreement for 20 yrs, guess we should have had a contract. I’ve got to go get all the traps, feeders, tripods, etc I have up there. The bad thing is I got my friend on, he spent money in the last two weeks for parts for me to build feeders, feeder pens, and damn corn. We finished that cshit up Saturday. I’ve got to call him, ain’t looking forward to that. Damn the bad luck!

That sucks...
big tracts are nice but the little ones here are free. Just knock on doors. I have tracts (about 5500 acres total) from 20-600 acres and they are BETTER than anything I have ever leased (and I was in one of the best leases in the state). AND I am the only one hunting them. It takes some work but that's the fun... come hunt with me if you turn up goose eggs.

Geeeze! That's enough to pay for a run to one of the states having more than 50% of its acreage as public holdings.

I had a lease in Coleman county, which is a couple of counties northwest of there for 25 years. I had to leave it because the landowner passed, kids sold it. It happens sometimes. I was on a lease between Livingston and Woodville for about 12 years. The timber guy talked the paper company into giving hunting rights to him. Some of those guys had been on it 50 years. No place is safe!

Very sorry Hanco. Been through it before a couple times. It would not matter if you had a contract or not. If he wanted to get more money he could totally ignore the contract. All the work moving your stuff is depressing!!! Good luck to you and your group.

I knew a guy back in the 90s that went half on a deer lease with his friend. First week hunting there a guy approached him and ordered him off of his property. He told him that he had a lease with the owner and had already paid him. Turned out they got scammed, of course the guy who "leased" him the property had his phone disconnected and they never saw him again.

Our lease is with a paper company and we were lucky this year that they didn’t go up. This year it’s $2300 each for either3300 or 3500 acres.

I was on one for more than 20 years (family had been on it for 50 years) and the fourth time it sold we got shown the door. Gave us week to get everything off. Bad enough for us but they fired all the ranch help some of whom had been there for decades.

The difference is he doesn't have to put into a draw and hope and pray he gets to hunt each year. Everything there is over the Wally World counter, guaranteed tags.


The chances they come, and the chances they go.
But the time. You don't get that back.

If I’m doing my math right that’s about $20/acre going to almost $30/acre? That’s steep even by Carolina standards where population density is might higher

We lease 1100 acres less than an hour from downtown Charlotte for $11/acre. The timber crews seem to like working during hunting season but otherwise it’s been a good piece to lease.

Lots of pigs, deer are nocturnal for the most part. I hunted there two years.

There are some HUGE bucks in Newton County. Deer there are pressured hard year round so they are very challenging to hunt.
