I THINK (don't work for them) they look for the highest return they can get. That having been said, USUALLY it's listed close to $10 per acre. More for smaller tracts and less for bigger. Earlier in the season they will be less willing to deal than later.

$10 an acre for a GOOD tract (mixed timber, decent roads, reasonable access) is WORTH $10 or more. You just need to LOOK at it. IN PERSON! ON THE GROUND! The reason for all the caps is the place I referenced in an earlier post looked GREAT from the maps and Google Earth and all we could determine. Upon closer inspection though, the road by the E side was WELL traveled by locals and offered NO PLACE to park and get a vehicle out of sight (in other words kiss your **** good bye if you left it in view in your truck while hunting.


Almost any place in a decent area can be MADE into good hunting. Trouble is, you won't find out what and how much is necessary until you have paid a years lease $ and THEN you have to pray you can hold onto it long enough to reap the benefits of the work you put into it. Good luck.
