[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5425379, member: 20583"] For me it would depend on the property. Habitat features and surrounding properties are key. A small 5 acre thick woodlot surrounded by hundreds of acres of ag that has nobody else hunting would be worth far more to me than 50 acres of open timber surrounded by properties with other other hunters. This is why very large acreage leases are so popular. When somebody leases a property, it's largely because they want a piece of ground they can hunt without having to compete with other hunters. If it's a big enough lease there will likely be multiple people sharing the lease to offset cost, with a certain number of acres per hunter ratio. That in itself can become an issue because as lease membership grows, you edge closer & closer to negating the premise of having a lease in the first place. I'd rather hunt public land for free than to pay part of a 5000 acre lease I share with 9 other guys. But if I could singly lease a small acreage lot that had the right habitat features, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But those don't exist that I'm aware of. Most every lease I've ever seen was large acreage. I've always thought that if small property owners offered their land up for lease, they'd do well. There are countless hunters who'd love to lease ground but either don't have the financial ability to pay for a large piece, don't have an in with a group to cooperatively lease a big place, or else aren't interested in sharing a property with other hunters. What the lease market lacks, IMO, is small property leases that would be affordable enough to market to individuals. [/QUOTE]
