If you knew that there were only going to be 6 total turkey hunters, how much would you pay as an individual for a turkey only membership to hunt over 4000 acres? $300-400, if all 4,000 acres is huntable.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I would think that would be best case scenario for you not a starting point. Jmo I would agree with this, these guys are gonna be hardcore turkey hunters and would probably balk at six others hunting, combined with the "deer" hunters hunting turkeys also, for that price. OK, the deer hunters are NOT HUNTING TURKEYS, as I keep saying. Only one deer hunter hunts turkeys and he would be included as part of the 6. I'm saying for 6 total people to hunt 4000 acres by themselves and NOBODY else is hunting, what would they be willing to pay per person.

$500-700 would be a good number for everyone involved.
Just curious, where is this extra cash going? Cheaper dues, better food plots, a family cruise for the President?

I haven't ever paid over $500 for a turkey membership. I have exclusive turkey rights on acreage from 300 up to 1000 and still paid $500. $1000 is really pushing it a bit. I assume that the current members that turkey hunt are being given first dibs on extending their membership to include turkey also. I would think you could get $500 per membership and keep the number of hunters down to 10 members. What county in Central Alabama.

Mman I'm not being a smart butt but, when you say it's good turkey hunting, is this your opinion? If you're not a turkey hunter you really don't know. Just because you see them in deer season doesn't mean anything. That being said I would be interested in knowing more.

How much of the property is "turkey" hunt able? For example, my club is 11,500 acres but only about 6,000 of it has turkeys on it. If the clear cuts are over 2-3 years old, that land is out as far as turkeys go. If the place is as good as you make it out, you shouldn't have any trouble getting 3-4 guys at $1K each. I just wish you were closer to me. I'd be all over it. Good luck with it.

Say the property's on the high end for population and has 5 longbeards per sq. mile. 32 adult gobblers 6 hardcore killers could knock off 25 or 80%.
I wouldn't pay $1000 for that. I've got 40 acres in TN that I can kill 4 birds on every year.

What extra cash? I was only asking what turkey hunters thought was a fair price for hunting lots of land with minimal pressure. Nothing is changing in our club at this time. It is not be shopped out. EVERYTHING that comes into our club goes back into the club. We don't have a president but that is beside the point.

Just because you see them in deer season doesn't mean anything. That being said I would be interested in knowing more. 4000 acres=6.25 sq. miles Say the property's on the high end for population and has 5 longbeards per sq. mile. 32 adult gobblers 6 hardcore killers could knock off 25 or 80%. A couple of bad hatches after a couple of years at 80% and the place is no longer very attractive or valuable. Two strong points to think about. It would have to have crazy amounts of birds to support the type of hunter that would pay the kind of money your looking for. You will either diminish the population or the hunters.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Mman Best advice I have seen is offer a set total price for the turkey rights. Much like agreeing to a total lease, give one man control, let him agree to a price and determine how many hunters and what price they pay. For example, if your 1 turkey hunter wants to pay $4k to have it to himself, let him do it. If he wants to get 8 Hunter's at $500 a piece, let him do it. Just let him know you want $4000 for the turkey rights and if he's in, let h decide how to pick up the $4 k. For me, if it was the right property, and was close to home (within 25 to 45 miles) I'd pay $1500 to $2k and find 1 more person to go in with me in order to have the place between no more than 2 hunters. 4 serious turkey hunters on 4,000 acres could get crowded in my opinion. I'd rather pay more and have less members.
