I'm looking into joining a hunting club/lease on state route 202 in southern Decatur Co. just north of the river. It is over 500 acres. Is anybody here in the club or know anyone that is? I contacted a guy yesterday about it and some of the info he gave me contradicts info he gave me later on in our conversation. I've heard some stuff about people trying to scam hunters into leasing property and just want to be careful. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Who Is the guy. I grew up in the northern part of the county. There is some good deer all over Decatur county. I know of one deer personal in the southern part that went over 150"

Somebody will try to scam somebody all the time. Happens in every aspect of life. If the price is right, the membership numbers are right and the land is decent go for it. Cost and members per acreage that size would be a big factor in my decision making for sure.

The guy I talked to was from east tn, he said alot of the guys on the lease drove over and mainly hunted the weekends. When I asked how many deer were taken on it last year he told me 30 bucks, then later he said that it hadnt been hunted in 2 years, they were letting it sit. When I asked bout what he had said earlier he said those deer were taken at a different property.

Sounds fishy to me. 30 bucks off 500 acres in one year---red flag!

I wouldn't hunt 2k acres that had 30 bucks taken off of it last year. 30 deer total for that matter,especially only 500 acres. There is no way a property that size can sustain that type of harvest or even hold many more animals than that. People just do not understand habitat vs. density to save their lives sometimes and then they question bag limits.

That would be your local WMA.

1 of 2 things here
1. A lier and scam
2. Waaaaaaay too much pressure, over harvest, under-managed
Either way, forget it and hunt public land. At least you will keep your money
Another thing to think about----30 bucks can legally be taken by 10 hunters. 10 hunters/500 acres---i would say that there were probally more hunters than that on that tract.
LEAVE IT ALONE

I hunt public land alot, 30 bucks on 500 acres-----ha ha, for that matter total 30 deer--doe and buck per 500 acres, laughable. What is the carrying capacity of the 500 acres, at that rate they are killing 38.4 deer per square mile and that is bucks only. Carrying capacity for that land must be 100+ per square mile. No way. He is full of shat.
