What do the outfitters pay to lease prime land?

What to these guys pay per acre? How long are the leases?

[LLBUX]

Farms in Western Illinois go for $15 to $60/acre based upon size, habitat and trophy history.

Last week I offered a guy $6000 for 250 acres and got turned down. I just wanted it for a month or so.

Leases vary greatly. It just depends on what the landowner wants.

I have another big lease that is June 1-May 31.

Leases in southern and northern Illinois are typically cheaper.

Good luck!

My buddy in Carroll County, IL is telling me that people are basically paying $1000 a man to hunt for bow and shotgun. He has been offered $750/man for shotgun only.

We pay about $40/acre here in NJ and we do not even approach the quality of your deer. However, it is more of a piece of mind plus guarenteed place to hunt. Also, our dues include pheasant and chukar stockings as well as all small game and turkey.

Good luck.
