leasing

[Deltaduk]

started looking for a lease recently.was somewhat surprised by the amt. of money that farmers are asking for leases.just curiuos what you guys are paying this yr for leases. I have found land that i know is good land in different parts of north Miss.but the farmers are wanting almost $90 /acre [gauranteed water] or must rely on rains to fill these holes.I have seen a good many birds on one of these last yr. when we had a lot of water. still looking for a decent place to hunt.

90 per 1 acre?? That is outrageous, tell them where to stick it. That is WAY too much.

we pay 2500 for 90 acres and the land owner plants whatever crop we wanna hunt over..........we got a 10 acre field and the rest timber

Delta, what he neglected to tell you is that it is $2500 per member for rights to hunt on said 90 acres!

Oh, let me know if you and/or any of your crew plan to attend the Memphis Delta Waterfowl Banquet this year. It will be Tuesday October 4th at the Agricenter.

that depends on what comes with the package, House?, storage?, launch at the back door?, Pits?, blinds?, and most imporant history?

It will also depend on how many acres in the property you are leasing, how many (quality) places you can hunt on those acres and the quality of the land.

Land cost and farm fuel, engines and wells are expensive!

$90 is high though ... maybe you need to come to AR

Again, look at my first long sentence and see how it stand up to that. Around here, 90 acres would be a max of hunting one group at a time and that's small. My smallest field is 150 acres with one pit in it!


Hope this helps.

I don't have anything left and only do one or two any season now. Was really trying to give a comparision more than hustle business, but thanks for the kind words.

I can't do anything else this year ... I'm already behind on getting pits pumped and boats ready Going to have to do a few 24/7 if I'm not careful. The grand openings and waterfowl weekends are a good time thoguh. Nothing like meeting everyone and getting to hear different thoughts and tactics on working ducks!!!
