[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5541378, member: 2805"] Its amazing the the difference in perspectives between TN and MS when it comes to hunting leases. I suppose it's because a MUCH larger percentage of the population in MS deer hunts. And LOTS of kids/teenagers hunt. That's the norm down here. As a consequence, $3000 per membership leases are not uncommon (good ground producing at least 140in buck annually on the lease with 1 hunter per 150 acres). $750 per year leases are everywhere (poor antler quality with 1 hunter per 75 ac). I have multiple friends who have no problem paying $5000 per year for their leases. They justify it because they don't spent $4000 to $7500 annually on a guided hunt in the Midwest. I even have a friend whos membership is $12,000 per year on his club. And they OWN the land!!! (Dues go to land payments, utilities, food plots ,etc,) Heck, I spend $2000 annually on my properties I own in TN (NOT counting taxes) for seed, fertilizer, diesel. And that's not counting wear and tear/ maintenance on the equipment. On my farms in TN which are greenbelted, taxes alone are $3 to $4 per acre! For most deer hunting is not cheap. Sure, I have access to 100,000 acres of public 30 min from my doorstep... but down here, the public is run into the dirt with dog hunters and the population of deer is less than 5 per square mile.
