Default RE: WV Hunting Lease???

As for MW (MeadWestvaco) leases my consutling forestry company does a lot of work for them. I am not on any leases on their land, but can only speak from the outside. The hunting clubs are very involved in their leases, controling gates and etc. I think it would be a place to hunt if you didn't have other options. Just the understanding that they manage their lands heavily so year to year your hunting area may change. You may have a new road through, your stand may be in a timber sale, or things on those lines. But for a hunting lease on some really good timber land I think you would be in good shape. Fair prices, just going to be stuck with the land that is left to be leased. Normally larger acreage leases so, don't expect anything really less then 400 acres. You can talk to about any timberland holding company and most of them do lease their lands. You can find one in your area and contact them to see. Just understand that these companies manage their property for timber and so you will see changes to your lease about every year you go back to it. You could also contact them and see their hunting lease clubs. Then you may want to pation to get into a club, but may want to have some back ground into who is in the club. They all have different rules and such.
