Extreme elevations from bottom land at creek to 320’ above sea level. Neighboring properties low to no hunting presurer. Subject is 40% hardwood(mostly White Oak) 60% timber.

What is a fair price to charge a guy like Bubba Lou with a two buck limit eight or better, one member Club plus owner, no guest?


I would look at average land prices and ask that he bring equal value to the table. If $12/acre is the average lease price and you are making 300 acres available ask that he contribute $3,600 to cover planting, mineral sites, etc.. Any additional costs split 50/50.
