I think a lot of hunters are very educated now and know how a business works. Let's say according to what has been stated so far, I lease a property for 25 years? I pay $135 to plant a food plot to replace the cost of the pines for those 25 years. That comes out to be $3,375. According to the facts given, that comes out to be a $975 profit for the company or the person you are managing the property for. Of course we as lessors are thankful that companies allow us to lease their property!!! Otherwise, the majority of hunters would be stuck hunting on public land or not at all. Not that there's anything wrong with that other than more hunters. I am in no way trying to bash any company for trying to make a profit. If they fail to make profit, then no business equals no land to hunt. We lease land from timber companies and are happy with our properties. And so far we have been lucky and thanful that there are no fees for food plots and the lease is priced fair. I personally have leased land from Rayonier. They have a very professional staff. They are very helpful and work with the lessor!!! And We would consider leasing land from them again. So I understand.
