Thanks for comments. I agree with you PWYSE, a lot of factors to consider. That’s kinda why I wanted to make this post to have a little more food for thought.
My current thoughts on a couple of considerations that have been mentioned: The amount of work, I’m good with that. What has frustrated me most about leasing over the years, and especially the past couple is that I’ve put in a ton of work just to see some of it effectively wasted do to the property owners, and I’ve honestly been willing to do more work/improvements to the properties but I knew full well that I wasn’t in control of the property. As for deer quality, as mentioned in the OP, I’m not a “trophy” hunter, just enjoy going and knowing I at least have the opportunity for a decent buck every now and then. If I was interested in only killing “big” bucks I would be looking for a large club to join.
Thanks all for the input!
