RE: Getting ridiculous
I just checked out the basecamp hunting lease site. For a thousand bucks more you can get twice the acreage in Indiana (406 acres for $9000). Or in Ohio you can get 157 acres for $3200 or 80 acres for $2000. Dunno if those are 9 month leases though. Either way, it sounds like someone has delusions of grandeur in terms of what their hunting ground is worth.
8K would cover a 25-30 percent downpayment on about 30 acres of woods in parts of southern Ohio.
