Hard to believe but we actually negotiated ours down .50 cents/acre.

Our lease dropped $2/acre for next year.

I'd rather quit hunting than deal with a timber company.

My days of paying high dollar leases to hunt in this State is long gone, but just amazes me the amount of money people will pay to hunt in this State. Granted there are still pockets of good hunting in this State it is mostly on private land. I haven’t seen a piece of timber company owned land worth more than $8 an acre in a long time. Generally timber companies could care less about hunter, the wildlife or what their timber practices do or don’t do for the wildlife and until the Alabama hunter decides to not be considered an afterthought it will not change.

Thats how they got so high. Same as trucks, gas and food. Folks keep forkin that cash over and getn screwed.

When we used to lease from private individual landowners we once made the mistake of telling the guy how great the hunting was. He ended up raising the cost. Never again. From then on always told the landowner how bad the hunting sucked and that we might not renew. He never raised it again haha.
