[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3483549, member: 1409"] Exactly. [u]It always comes back to the law of supply & demand[/u]. The Memphis area is TN's largest metropolitan area coupled with being the one with the least amount of nearby deer hunting opportunities available (on a per hunter basis) of TN's five largest metropolitan areas (Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Tri-Cities). Unlike the others having numerous large WMA's nearby, as well as large wooded areas, Memphis is surrounded more by large agricultural fields (less places to deer hunt). Memphis area hunters also are effected by living in a "corner" area of TN where they are bordered on two sides by hunting opportunities requiring them to purchase a non-resident license (further increasing the demand on the already limited opportunities near Memphis in TN). I seriously doubt there's much room for any uptick for most lease prices around Memphis, although I would say this is the one area where I'd not expect any to go unleased. Personally, if I lived in the Memphis area, I would be a member of the intensely well managed 20,000-acre Ames Hunting Club --- relatively great value for the area, and the annual membership fee is less than what many are paying for a few crowded acres near Memphis. In fact, I've been seriously considering joining Ames anyway, just because it's such a well managed and appealing set-up to me. Even if I only hunted Ames a few days a year, annual cost is less than most 1-week trips to a non-resident state. [/QUOTE]
