I just hate to see hunting slowly but surely becoming a rich man's "sport". The rising lease prices are getting ridiculous and it doesn't even have to be good land. If it's available some rich guy from out of town will eventually lease it, and timber companies/land owners know it. I've went from "my" lease to two people, to last year a 5 person "club" just to be able to afford to hunt a pine plantation under drought conditions close to home. LoL. There are at least 750,000 acres in Alabama open to the public for hunting. It's not a rich mans sport due to private and timber lease prices alone. Guns, ammo, license, apparel, seed, fertilizer, stands, ATV's, fuel, shelter, etc make it a sport for the wealthy more so than lease prices even though most of what I mentioned is not necessary to kill wild game. I wish Outdoor Alabama or some other hunting publication would do an article and break down the math of how inexpensive hunting game animals actually can be.

I know of a $43 per acre tract, about 600 acres in Pike County. Leased by some people from Tampa. This kinda stuff amazes me. Anyone smart enough to have enough money to pay $43 an acre for a place to hunt should be smart enough to buy his own place.

I know of a tract in Jackson county that's 200 acres with a small cabin bringing $7,500. And it's not real good land either.

I would go finance my own 40 acres before I pay 500 per month for a lease. I know of a tract in Jackson county that's 200 acres with a small cabin bringing $7,500. And it's not real good land either.

Let me know when you find 200 acres and cabin for a $500 a month note and I'll split it with you

I said 40 acres, not 200. No way in hell im paying that much for something LEASED. I would prefer a small tract that I owned. Just my personal opinion....

When it costs 500 a month to hunt I'll pick up a cane pole, pack a coffee can full of worms and go back to fishing.
