We hunt only free range. A person I know very well has the hunting lease on that place now. The cost now is a whopping $80,000. That is almost 4X what we paid 8 years ago.
Anyone or group that would pay $80K for 2000 acres is nuts beyond belief! You may as well go out and buy your own place when we're talking that kind of money. The couple leases that I mentioned my Dad had for $1500 covered a little over 1000 and the other about 1500 acres and they were both good properties for deer and hogs and were both year around leases.
