How easy is it and what is the cost to get onto a quality lease? This will be for next year. I want something on the east side of Unit L (2 or so hours from Knoxville). Hundred plus acres and managed for bucks. I know there will be other hunters involved but prefer to do my own thing and just hang out with my kids. I would be dragging an 11 and 13 year old with me.
 
You'll have to be more specific than that. Everyone is looking for that same deal man. I know of one in Crossville area, 1200 acres, 8 people on it. 850 each, no guests. Skies the limit on what your looking for.
 
Well Unit L because of the liberal limits for does for the kids and I like to see deer. I am ok with a size limits on racks as long as there are some "shootable" bucks around. I have passed up five six pointers this year and maybe another 4 or 5 smaller bucks. I want a little space so I am not worried about using firearms in proximity of dwellings. The option to use an ATV to get the deer out is a must. If the lease is huge then using one to get back in the woods a bit would be great. No joy riding just in and out. I willing to pay around $1000 for the three of us. No guest is ok by me. Campsite for a tent or small camper (under 20') would be good. No need for power I have a generator.
 
I have a few questions as well about this dont want to hijack ur thread but where do u find a lease and how does a lease work. And what is a decent price to pay looking for something for 3 people near sumner county give or take dont mind driving a couple of hrs

Do you also want geisha girls and candlelit dinners?
 
Yes, geisha girls would be great, only if they can do that walk on your back thing. :-) I love green tea so that is a bonus too.

Never had to worry about leasing land so completely unfamiliar with it. I own 525 acres in Maine but that is a bit of a drive for a weekend hunt.

I have been thinking about checking out some of the WMAs on the eastern edge of Unit L (Bear Hollow, Owl Hollow, Old Hickory).

If my goals are to lofty what is a reasonable expectation? If I am going to pay to play I would like to have something to show for the money other than staring at empty woods for days on end. I can do that at Foothills WMA for free.

bigsatt, I will look you up in a month or so.
 
We may be adding some members next year if we take on some more land. But the drive is 4.5 hours to Houston county. We have full hookups and a cooler and about 2300 acres with 10 members... I'll know more in the summer...
