In my opinion, if you think you are going to get into a good duck camp or lease for $2500-5k that produces a steady number of ducks then you may die looking. Now I am not saying you might not run across something good for a little bit of money but if you do, count your blessings, and for god's sake don't mention it to anyone. To many people that would have oppurtunities like this come available already have friends they know they can trust lined up. These days you're going to buy into a camp or buy your own land if you want something that produces numbers. Take Willow Break and other camps of that nature for example, they produce great numbers every year, but your going to pay 150k+ to get into it. That is one way of weeding out some people, if not the majority. Which I know not everyone has that kind of money of laying around but these days, that's what the going rate is if you are wanting to have a steady year in numbers. In my mind, expect to pay mucho money to join a camp that you have no connections with if you are thinking of killing a consisten number of ducks. There are plenty of places you can lease around the delta from 3k-10k but I guarantee you won't be leasing it again the next year. If you're just looking for a good camp to join and will only be going a few times a year, I would suggest finding a few guide services with proven histories and spend your 2500-5k a year doing that, not joining a club. But then again you are still not guaranteed ducks. Think of it this way, you are from GA and prolly don't spend the amount of time someone that lives in MS does in the delta nor have the connections that someone in state would have. If anything worth having came available at a price that low, it would be snatched up the day it was let go by someone in the state if I had to guess. If a lease comes available that's worth the price, the leasee either died, lost his job, or pissed off the land owner. And there will be someone that land owner knows from MS that will take it off his hands in one phone call and I doubt he would make a call to GA to see if any of yall wanted it unless you knew him on a first hand basis. I am not trying to be rude or a dick but am giving you my perspective on what you aksed

and that's about it. Several folks asked for info about a duck lease with 0 response. 
Just curious? Are there no clubs out there, people don't want to post in the open forum, or just simply never have any openings. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot. 
Serious question.
