It has gotten ridiculous. I can find a hunting club if I want to hunt with 50 other people that pressures the land nearly every day of the season.
In that price range in Dallas county, that will be exactly what youre looking at, low acreage, tons of members, tons of pressure and that's if there are even any clubs left in Dallas in that price range. I personally dont know of any but I'm on the south end of the county, where it's mostly bigger tracts and old established leases and clubs. Maybe some still available on the northern half of Dallas in that price range, but not in the south. On the southern part of Dallas, rates will be similar to the following: 1000 acres 8-12 members, your probably looking at $2500 - $4000. 1000 acres 4-6 members $5,000 - $7,000. Figure a lease cost of $15-$25/acre ($15-$18/acre is probably the current average but I know of timber co land being leased for over $20/acre and some super prime private in the mid 20's), plus planting cost as a base price, and then higher if it is on the river and or has a camp. Entire blackbelt is becoming a rich man's game for sure.
