hey again

well, my search for some private hunting land continues. I have a new possibility. I sent out some letters and a man called me today. he claimed that he has 287 acres up in Northern WV. he said it is almost all forest, with a little marsh, some tough terrain and some easy terrain. He does not hunt and hasnt really leased it before, but he told me to ask around and see what a general price would be for a year. I have nooooo idea of how much. I will appreciate any estimates/suggestions. Its a fact that i dont have that much money to spend, but i want an honest opinion. He said he would get some #'s and call me saturday, and we will compare. How much do you think 287 acres would go for for a annual lease? It will probably be to expensive for me, but he told me to get some estimates so thats my new mission. I forget the county it is in, but it is in Northernn WV, about 2 1/2 hours from Baltimore. Please respond and give me a general estimate from your guys' past experience. Thanks alot fellas.

Not sure about WV, but theclub I belong to12 of uspay $250.00 each forthe 325 acres of land we lease in SouthernMaryland.
Hope this helps

Don't caompare southern MD (or Eastern Shore MD) to WV. The prices in MD were we hunt goes fo about $10/acre. Therefore, 275 acres would be $2750.00. That wouldn't be the same for WV.

Offer him $300, see what happens.

hey were about in southern maryland are you hunting?we hunt down below la plata.if i can figire out how to make my trail cam pictures small so i can down load on this sight ill show you.There is a 150 gross 8ptand a non tpy that will score over 200.have you guys killed any monsters.

I agree - start at $300 if just for deer and all woodland - but think about $600 - if - your gettin "All" big game,small game,varmits,birds,turkey.

If there are no food crops near by use that to negotiate down if he goes up.

Now if any of those guys from Baltimore get wind of that property you could very well double or triple that figure. Good Luck
