I'll spend 7-10k a year waterfowl hunting and I don't own or have to pay a lease fee for the blind I hunt mainly.(add a lease fee it would be 15k) The turkey and deer are lucky if they are thrown 1k-2k at them for food plots and fertilize every year.Ranking hunters by the money they will spend and their level of "crazy:"

I know guys that drop $50K a year for a 6-person blind in AR.Waterfowl hunting has to be dang near like crack. It takes all my vacation, extra money, ect….. just to freeze my a$$ off to kill a bird.
I know some who will buy a hole , 100,000 an acre. That's really not to bad to kill a duck.lol As stated before, Missouri was decent one time, but the farmers realized it was a cash cow. Put a pit anywhere, flood it, it will rent. You mentioned 4000 for your field. That should have been a tipoff. Missouri is about to be over for a while. Cold air kills most of it.I know guys that drop $50K a year for a 6-person blind in AR.
And as for quail hunters, some of those famous quail ranches in south GA and north FL spend $1,000 per bird harvested in management of the land.
You guessed it.Let me guess. Near kennett?
Oh I know it now. I have learned alot this last year. If anyone ever asks me about pit leases in that area I'll have some good information to provide them.You mentioned 4000 for your field. That should have been a tipoff.
Yep this is probably my last year.This has been a run of pretty awful weather and hunting for the mid & southern Mississippi flyway the last several years. Not to say good spots shouldn't still produce some good hunting, but it seems only the best managed private spots are doing anything resembling regular killing. Even then they've likely got multiple holes to rotate and if not they are still managing pressure.
It's just hard to keep paying money for leases and travel for such limited or non existent success.
that 10 to 12 kI'll spend 7-10k a year waterfowl hunting and I don't own or have to pay a lease fee for the blind I hunt mainly.(add a lease fee it would be 15k) The turkey and deer are lucky if they are thrown 1k-2k at them for food plots and fertilize every year.

the only thing that may save them is appreciation in land valueI know guys that drop $50K a year for a 6-person blind in AR.

Got a link? I'm the same way. Hard to find a good lease and even harder to find land at a decent price.that 10 to 12 k
you could buy a nice farm in western ky and make the payment with that ...EASILY!!! Then sell it and make a profit. i just saw 44 acres in western ky right on the river, loaded with ducks (they had dead duck pics in the photos). looked to be a really good deer farm- 68k. if i was a duck hunter i would buy it tomorrow rather than burn up cash at a lease

Thanks. I look almost daily across TN, AR, and MS. I'm starting to think I'll never find what I want (or can afford) but one can dream.i bet i can find it
i use to lease out of state, but economically it makes no sense. just buy a small one, use it as long as you want, then sell when the market is right and upgradeThanks. I look almost daily across TN, AR, and MS. I'm starting to think I'll never find what I want (or can afford) but one can dream.
TN has horrible land prices compared to other states. western Ky and south central illinois, is better land, better deer and 1/3 the priceDang, just checked Whitetail Properties and can't believe what they're asking for hunting land in my area. In Hickman County, near the I-40 bridge over the Duck River, $4,500/acre! Yowza!
