Sounds pretty Fierce to me... Yall better get it....

That sob is lying out his ass too try and drive the price up.

Either way I know one inquiry that will not be bidding or looking at the property.

I got the same email

My wife's cousin told me he had a call last week from someone who said they were going to bid $4k for it. He said he told them our issues but that the guy didn't seem to be fazed by any of it, so agent may be accurate on this one.

^^^^^^^^^ And this is the problem with lease prices today

If I ever start a business, the first thing I'm doing is hiring Joe Rigsby as my Vice President of Sales. Dude is getting more than Rayonier, and getting it in a county with one of the lowest deer populations in the state.

I got the same email

I was thinking about checking this one out since I have another lease in the same county, but this thread convinced me otherwise. Preciate it fellers. ALDEER at work.

That's the reason I checked into it, but I've since come to my senses.

4100 now guys better keep bidding

I hunted this property from 2012-2014. If i remember right we started out around $3,500 or so. Every year she kept raising the price. 2015 I think she wanted close to or above $6,000. There was a ton of deer there though. We planted a field close to the house, (never used it, or fixed it up) and had some pictures with 20+ deer in the field. Had a few bruisers on camera too. I was hunting a plot with my bow, after I killed a stud in Minnesota and a buck walked out that would have put him to shame. Stayed at about 65 yards. Never had luck with turkey, but didn't hunt a whole lot for them. You will definitely see plenty of deer though.
Oh yeah, and the occasional dog.

It's a lady?

The lady owns it. She lives in Virginia or something. Somewhere out of state. I guess the guy handles everything for her.

We saw some nice bucks on camera last year also, most were close to the house. One of you guys must have left the tall lock-on stand across the field from the house. Never hunted it myself but probably could have done better there than some places we hunted. Never saw a big boy during legal shooting hours all season and at least one of our group was in there most every day. Lots of deer there. We took several last year. Pretty hardwood bottom.

Yeah, we got most of them out, that one either got forgot or my cousin didn't want to fool with it. We built that big shooting house in the field behind the barn. Used to plant it with corn and they would hammer it. It is some pretty property though, I always liked hunting on the creek. We got a lot of good pics back there. Still, nowhere near what they are asking for it.

I think I know why.

I could see why he decided to leave it, would've been a pain to get out. You are right about it being too much. We enjoyed it as it was close to home but between landowner demands and the fact that it was hard to hunt one area without passing through another stand, and of course the neighborhood dogs, it wasn't worth it to us. I hunted the backside bottom most of the time and saw a lot of deer back there.

Wow! Thanks for the revelation. Now I know the next club I get in to make sure the number of days anyone can hunt each season is regulated. I am always amazed how folks feel they have to jump into a thread just to give their 2 cent wisdom on, even when it is completely unsolicited. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in. At least the ignore button is still available.

I.gave an opinion, the same as you. I only pointed out that if someone hunts 200 acres every day it is very unlikely they will ever see a mature deer. If the next person who leases it puts less pressure on the lease, they might have a different experience. If that ruffled your feathers, it doesn't take much.
