I was wondering what a fair price to offer 1300 acres of turkey only rights would be in central Morgan county with below average but increasing Turkey population would be. How many memberships would you look to sell or maybe a total price to try and get for that size property. Its something we are considering for our lease as we don't turkey hunt much and its a way to keep members down without raising prices.

Where is the property? That will factor in. I personally wouldn't want over 2 hunters on 1,300 acre. Well, really just me. smile

$1-2/acre for good turkey land. If turkey numbers are low, $0.50/acre. 2 people max on 1300 if there aren’t many turkeys. Can’t kill 8 birds off the land if they aren’t there.


If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

I’d offer it at a price to an individual and let that individual decide if he wants to split it with another hunter. Ensure it’s clear that no more than 2 hunters will be allowed. Price as if you are getting two.

In other words…..ask $1300 for the turkey rights. Allow one man to split it with a friend if he wants to but you deal with one person on it.

Are you sure the property holds spring birds? Some do some don’t. If you have plenty of spring birds it’s worth money if you have a spring bird it’s peanuts.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

LOL. well there aren't a lot period, though i believe there is more than one. I pulled a camera last week that had been out since deer season. it had 3 birds that were in it regular in the spring, had a group of 5-7 that I got regularly on the north part of the property during deer season and a few here and there on other parts. It wasn't long ago we had no turkey season at all where we are. In general our numbers are increasing and talk to people who see groups in the fields but I'm not going to make it out to be something its not. It wouldn't be easy hunting.

I'd be interested in it. If its not to far I'd definitely trap it hard also for the right deal

One way to do it is to just take on another member or 2 and call it a turkey only membership. You can charge them the same dues as everyone else, or make it cheaper if that's too much. That way the turkey guy is just a member of the club and is covered by your insurance and under the same rules as everyone else.

Most of the timber companies have clauses against sub-leasing, but I've never heard of one objecting to different levels of membership. I don't see any need to change locks and such; the turkey only members are told to simply stay away during deer season and the deer hunters do the same in turkey season.

This might not work in every situation, but I've been part of several clubs who have used it and never experienced a problem with it.

I agree on the sublease, it wouldn't be that. It would just be 2 turkey memberships with similar prices as the deer. No we wouldn't change the locks as we actually only have one gate thats locked anyways because we cross another property to get to it there. We won't have someone that we can't trust as its not worth that.

One way to do the price is take the dues for a full member, divide it out by hunt daysfor deer and turkey.

Say your dues are $1,000 for a full member.

Deer = 118 days or $8.47 per hunt day.
Turkey = 44 days x $8.47= $372 just for turkey season assuming they aren't allowed at the club during deer season.

Maybe I read your post wrong, but I don't think anyone would pay dues the same as deer just to turkey hunt as their hunt days are almost 1/3 less for the same amount of money.

I think you would be surprised just considering the folks that have touched base with me. There aren't many big tracts of land in our area so to offer 1300 acres of hunting opportunity for 2 spots will bring much more than $750. With us only going to consider 2 spots, to offer them at $377 each would give someone the ability to have a complete 1300 acres to hunt for $750 by themselves. To cut turkey hunting out for those already in the club for $750 and to take a chance on more people that may or may not be good members wouldn't be worth it in the least. If it ends up tahst what the going price would be then we will just forget about it.

And now you see why I did what I did. Everyone wants something for as cheap as can be. They don’t care how many roads you’ve cleared, fields you’ve planted, lines you’ve marked or fences you’ve mended. They just want to kill birds for as cheap as possible and I can’t trust people like that so I just pay it to keep anyone else off my lease. Just ain’t worth the hassle. They’ll be texting all through deer season asking how many does your going to kill and if they can get one or two to “help out”.

6 weekends if you work a 40 hr a week job , if you go to church strike Sunday morning so 9 full hunt days . $1000 dollars per day
X 9 days = $9000 sounds about right lol
💰 💰
Morgan county for the most part is trash to turkey hunt
50 cents an acre is reasonable , a dollar is overpriced for the area but somebody will pay it . The 3 birds will prob get bumped while your working them by the deer hunters when they are putting out minerals and general goofin off during turkey season .

I’d just keep it as is . If yal are having a hard time paying dues or cost just add another deer member .

Exclusive rights on 1300 acer worth way more than 750

For out right one guy only membership (exclusive turkey rights) - I would start at $1800 if u got birds n spring. And that is not on the high price side. Turkey rights exclusive worth around $1-3/acer or if it unbelievable bird property - what somebody willing to pay

I said I would not pay full membership earlier for turkey - but if dues were low like 1000 or less and I was aware there were almost no turkey hunters and place had birds - I might pay full - depends on situation


Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self
We need prayer for our country now more than ever
