need ur guys' help with an estimate, thanks
 

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.

I have no clue but around SC we pay 6-10 dollars an acre. 6 dollars being short pine and scrub oak terrain and the 10 being more mature fertile areas.

I leased some land here in Indiana and I had 100 acres for 500 a year. Hope that helps.

I would say, contact a few people you know that might hunt around the area or where you are and see what they pay if they do, make the guy an offer and then negotiate! [8D]

Just as Slayer said, private land here in SC is going from $6-$10/ac.
