Company I lease from is $5 per acre now on new leases. They are slowly creaping up to north Alabama prices.
Turkey population in that county is 1/2 or less than 10 years ago. Spoke with TWRA the other day and they are aware of the problem and it isn't just Wayne either. Pockets in the western part of the county still have decent number of birds. Those days of hearing 15+ birds from one set are over.
Plus, Wayne should be cheaper when you have to deal with all the poaching. IT's terrible and I'm not exagerrating either.
YEKRUT,
I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you guys. If you look at existing clubs, especially in the western part of the county, let me know first. I know some that has lost members over the years due to baiting by club leaders to pump up their egos.
