Saw where the price of a lot of leases are going up again this year…..Some were going up another $2 per acre……For those of you who are dealing with this, how is you club handling it??....Are y’all raising the club dues or adding more members?

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

At some point club dues become maxed out for what hunters are willing to pay……I know when I leased land and was trying to find members it seemed like once you got up around $2000 per member then the pool of potential members really went down……

With the amount of money we spend on upkeep of camphouse, roads,plots, licenses, food and travel every year, our lease price is peanuts. We are lowering members. As they give up there spot we just absorb their share.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

As they give up there spot we just absorb their share. More and more clubs are doing this I believe. If people have $5k-$7k disposable income they don’t mind paying it for quality hunting with the right people.

We add more out of state hunters because they don’t hunt as much and it’s fun to piss CNC off. The key to a good club is to always have about 1/3 of your members be those richer business owners who don’t have time to hunt but a couple times a year. They always pay their dues, don’t mind paying fines for missing work days since they are too busy in the off season making money. They are crucial to a good operation 😂 I go for the old smokers with COPD.

Do they want a club to run to and hunt all year or do they want a 4 day hunt with a camp full of strangers. I’m sure some will go elsewhere. Not sure if most will.

The point I’m making is just what 3bailey3 said……His dues have went from $1100 to $1300…..now to $1500 which is about the most he is willing to pay……I suspect many clubs are going through this same thing……You reach a price point when 90% of your “customer base” isnt going to pay a higher price to hunt average Alabama land, so the clubs don’t have a whole lot of choice but to add more members and increase the hunter density…..As lease prices keep going up, so will hunter density.
