Try owning, paying taxes, and maintaining land. Then u will understand why landowners are asking what they consider a fair price for the privilege to use their land and harvest turkeys. If u don't want to play, just hunt public land and quit fussing
Sir most of these cats are subleasing turkey rights on timber company land which they do none of what you listed other than maybe maintaining the property. I wish private land owners all the luck in the world at getting $2-4 per acre for turkey rights. In my opinion it better be some prime property with turkeys falling over each other to be worth that kind of money. I know it's expensive to own and maintain a property so it's the right to ask what the market with bare. I just don't think the market is supporting the higher asking prices.
