[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5541691, member: 2474"] Paying for the lease just gets you started. Last year with huge cost increase for everything, we spent $5.00/acre above cost of lease. 3500 acres w/15 members. 41 food plots (60ac), 35 shooting houses & 50 ladder/tripod stands in woods. We touch every stand & shooting house every year doing maintenance, repair or replacement. 15-20 years ago we bought LOTs of $49 single ladder stands and past 5 years have been replacing them with nice double ladders, only 5-6 more to go. Same with shooting houses, have been purchasing new ones to replace old wooden ones . Lime, soil tests, fertilizer, seed, herbicide, gravel, fuel, equipment maint/ repair expense (two dedicated tractors & implements), trapping supplies, posted signs, cementum age testing for all bucks, work day meals, & website expense all adds up to substantial $$. All of us use our place year round as opposed to just deer hunting . Really just depends on how important it is to your group & what your goals are. [/QUOTE]
