Hello all. Im new to the forum here. The wife and I are moving to Odenville in february. I am active duty air force. I am looking for at least 200 acres to lease in st. Clair county. Would love to be able to have something leased before Turkey season. If anyone knows of anything please let me know. If you know of a bigger parcel of land and are looking for a good trophy minded hunter to lease it with you please contact me. Im not looking for a place to go and kill everything that moves. I hunt hard and reapect the animals and the land. Im a trophy minded hunter and will kill a few does a year and then only shoot mature bucks. Thanks for reading my post and hopefully someone will know of something.

Good Luck. What part of Odenville? I live there now. I cant seem to find any land to lease or any clubs.

We are buying a home in southern oaks. It is off of George crow rd. Closing on it the 16th. I have around 1800 acres to hunt back home in Georgia, which is only 4.5hrs away but it would be nice to find something close to the house. I have read a lot on the clubs around there and it doesn't seem like many of them are that good. You never really hear the good about clubs, just the bad so this information could be misleading.

Someone has got to know of some land somewhere.

LOve Joy reality . They have some land they will lease in St Clair county BUT its very over priced and you can usually only lease it 1 year at a time. check out their web site

I just looked at there site and only saw land for sale. Where is the land for lease you are talking about. Thanks for the information.

Interested to see any responses to this. I live right by odenville in margaret. I tried to find somewhere reasonably close with no luck this year. Ended up in a lease about an hour and 20 mins away in Bibb county.
There's Majestic in Pell City area, but it's huge like 12k acres or something and not sure about their waiting list. I don't remember seeing any posts this year about them looking for members.

Call them. ASk for Lyman. Any land they have for sale they will lease. They may ask 12 dollars an acre, but they will negociate with you on price.

Ok thanks brother. Im going to give them a call.

Majestic usually has openings every year, and I believe they were looking for members this summer.

There's a lot of private land, private farms, and high human population in that part of the world. Not the best place to just stumble on 200 acres.

Good luck, but it's gonna be an area where you really need to know somebody. Heck, I knew lots of people when I lived there - but I wasnt from there - so it was tough.

Not really looking to get in a club unless they are trophy minded and dont have a million members. If I dont find something I will just make the trek back home every weekend or something and go on a hunt somewhere. Went up to illinois this year and killed a 171 3/8. Buck had broken both brows and and one was split so he would have been very close to 180. Chances of that happening again isnt very good though...lol.

If you have been hunting on thousands of acres 200 acres in a populated area can be very small.

Yea it can thats why the bare minimum would be 200. I rather have mote but ig its just me it wouldn't be too bad I dont think. Everyone in georgia hunts and so do they in louisiana. Im on a club now with 5 mbrs and we have a little over 3000 acres leased. However everyone around us kills everything they see and try to slip in on us. I understand completely about areas being overpopulated with hunters. Just be nice to find something gof the wife and I and maybe a buddy whenever I wanted.

If you'll pm me your contact information, I'll let you know in June when some leases renew.

I own nearly two hundred acres in Odenville if you are interested in buying. I developed Southern Oaks and still own the adjoining property that is undeveloped. We hunt it and have killed some nice bucks there. Send me a PM if you are interested.

If anyone hears of something and need a partner give me a call.

Come on guys somebody has to know something.

It's not really the right time of year to be looking for a lease/club. Most leases/club memberships run from May-April, so lessors and clubs don't yet know what they're going to have available yet.

Sounds like widespread has exactly what you need.

Im just an ol air force boy. I cant afford 200 acres. Hence why I want to lease. I got plenty of family land in ga to hunt just want something close to the house.
