I’d pay 3k for a decent club within 25-30 minutes of the house. But I can’t find crap close to me.

Goat killer that's what mine says basically. Most clubs run over that because they never have all their members hunting at one time. And they want $ to keep dues low. So I can have 11 on stand at one time. That's my max.

I took the position that I was going to address green fields while I wasn't in charge. All my guys from last year or two see the efforts and finished product and like it. Then they see deer too. So they are loyal and believe in the direction I want to go.

Our biggest problem has been to many members, which ups the pressure. I saw a lot of deer last year, but once we got into January I saw them less often.

Leases go up every year when dealing with some timber companies. Sooner or later you start to wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. I leased a 400 acre farm in North Missouri last year for LESS than one of my leases down here that was only 188 acres. On the third hunt I shot a 147” 10pt and had seen multiple other bucks bigger that what you’d see in three seasons on my land.

loose lips.....hush!!

Clubs can Be Fun as far as Socializing......And th' Bunnies left back in that Warm Bed when th' Buck Wabbit just has to go Hunt.....Can Be th' BEST Huntin' Experience EVER!!

Reading through all this makes me say damn I love my hunting club and the small private lease I’ve got.

I like this man's style

You could go on a 5 day rut hunt in Ohio, Kansas or Iowa and have a legitimate chance at a 150 every day for the cost of some of these overhunted bama leases.

Yes but you have to drive up there. You have to have it processed there and same with taxidermy.

That’s why I just bought preference point for Kansas and will be buying my second for Iowa once they open up.



Not if you debone the meat and have the skull plate removed and cape cleaned. Most taxidermist up that way only charge $100 to do it while you wait. I was able to bring everything back to Alabama and have it processed and mounted here.

That’s what I’m doing this season.

So how much per acre is prime hunting land bringing with all game inclusive?

$8-25 depending on location

$25

Id say the average is $15 an acre.

When i become a bilyuair im jost gonna by me some land.. i might by an island

There was shitty chilton cnty land Alabama power bid out a few weeks ago went for over $20. That land was probably worth $6 acre. People are stupid these days.

The lease my buddy was on down there went for 17/acre.

Lease prices are going up in a hurry. Mine goes up 700-800 every year. I have been able to keep the cost to join the same for the past 4 years but next year I will have an increase and hopefully we don’t lose anyone because of it. If these lease prices don’t calm down then eventually I may have to sit down and decide if it’s worth it. Everyone has a limit or at least I do.

I get just as much fun chasin these basket rack 100” deer on public. To each their own.
