I know a guy that might know a guy around Slocomb area. Is that the area your interested in? If so, I'll ask him if he knows anything.

Yea, he's kinda strange, every now and then he's got a good one for lease. Just hard to deal with. You checked with the timber companies around here. Rayonere (rebelman)has some that come up for grabs. Plat-Haney probably owns more land in coffee county than anyone else.

Pat doesn't have anything available.

I know it's a little bigger than your looking for but you might want to checkout AFOA. They got a lease in Barbour county a little over 1,000 acres @ $15 acre but you also get the use of a cabin and shed.
Sounds like a pretty nice setup for someone.

The same guy has a 192 acre lease in Pike county for $2,880 located near Brundidge.

Slocomb area would be perfect. I've seen all the other listings mentioned, but are either too far away or too expensive, really can't afford to sink much more than $1000 into it, maybe a little more if it's something good

I already called that guy on craigslist. Sounds perfect, but I was the third guy to call him and he said he had to let the other two guys have first refusal before I could even go look.

If I'm not mistaken, that area is going to have about the same rut date as the property you're already hunting. You need to be a few more miles west of the lake/river to get in the later rut.

Went and checked out that piece of land that was listed on craigslist 9 miles north of Abbeville. Saw 1 set of deer tracks the entire hour I was up there. UUGH! And he wanted $11 an acre. NOT. Gotta be something better than that.

SFH I am very glad to see I was wrong and that you HAVE gotten some good info from others here. USUALLY doesn't work like that but I'm glad it did in this case. Good luck.

Sorry you feel that way Brian, and wasted both our time. But it has already been leased. We jumped 2 deer on the drive through this morning. But just to be clear,you were her for 3 hrs Brian, after you locked your keys in your vehicle. Glad your attempts to smash out your window were in vein, and that my friend was able to give you a good price on opening your door. OH, and the price was also 10 per acre, and the insurance was 100.00. Not 11. Which was our cost in that land. I hope you find what you are looking for... All the best .... UUGH

Uhhoh

Wasn't there to waste anybody's time, how am I supposed to know what the land potential is before I go check it out? And it's not about anybody's feelings, just stating the facts. I was there for 2 hours and 20 minutes, of which we spent about 1 hour looking over the property and the the other 1:20 I spent trying to get my keys out of the truck which I (quite stupidly) locked in there. I thanked you several times yesterday for arranging for your friend to help me retrieve my keys, and I thank you again for that, but none of that has anything to do with the facts. I saw one set of tracks on the road, no others. And $1150 for 105 acres comes to $10.95 an acre, rounding that to $11 doesn't really seem like a stretch to me. If you want to divide out the cost between land and insurance, I guess you can do that. Don't take it personally, just wasn't what I was looking for, and I'm glad you found someone to lease it.
