I know a guy in that club and asked why he doesn’t just buy his own and said doesn’t want the hassle of working the land just show up and hunt. Leave’s me scratching my head but to each his own. He also had a tiny house built and delivered there that most would live in permanently lol. I figure maybe he can take clients or say it is and write stuff off like that but I don’t know how stuff like that works.
$8,000 in annual payments wont get you much in the way of acreage to hunt. $250K ( buys you between 75-250 acres depending on location and timber type/age) at 4.25% (probably cant get that rate for raw land now) for 30 years is a $1,230/month payment which is right at $15,000/yr. Then you dont have enough acreage to hold your deer, it's not big enough to manage, you've got neighbors to deal with, no lakes to fish, most likely have to pay a dozer to push roads and plots, you'll need to buy a tractor to maintain what you bought or pay someone to do it for you, and the list goes on and on. All depends on how you like to hunt. 5000 acres gives you a lot of options. 5,000 acres is a huge manageable block. I bet they kill some fine deer on it.
