    Help me price a one man lease?

    Kicking around an idea and could use some help determining if this is worth messing with. I recently purchased 15 acres that's got a lot of deer. It's about 30 minutes from College Station near lake Somerville. Pretty much my only planned use for the place is to take my kids to shoot a couple does each thanksgiving weekend. Multiple deer at the feeder every morning and afternoon. Only had a feeder out for two weeks and have ID'ed a minimum of 16 different deer and that could be way low. Small property but it's the thickest woods around and I don't think many people hunt the area. One side is bordered by a large property that's not hunted. Its a perfect place for a single bowhunter wanting to regularly see game and fill tags without having to drive far or deal with lease drama. Filling doe/spike tags would be easy. 13" buck shouldn't be hard with a little effort. There are 140"+ in the area but so far Ive only seen 120" 3-4 year olds on camera. What would someone pay for a place like this for one hunter to have exclusive use except for Thanksgiving week? Just trying to cover taxes. I would maintain feeder. Thanks for any thoughts!

    You can throw all that out the window based on OP’s description.

      Well, If its just taxes you want covered then charge that. If it’s too low then tack on enough to cover corn costs. I personally couldn’t see paying more than $700-$800 unless I were living pretty close to the property.

        Has it been hunted at all?

        That's the type of place with a little pressure everything goes nocturnal the second a truck pulls in.

          If I was you I would take Fishndude's money asap!


          I'd give you $800 for it. Is there any water or electric? A place to put a camper and stay the night? Any facilities to skin deer?

            I'm sure someone close would pay up. Lots of folks out there looking for something like that.

              I would give you 1000 for it if there is a place for a camper.

                  15 ac is kinda tight for bowhunting. How much are your taxes?

                      Truth! Those deer are crawling all over that place at the moment for a reason.

                      Any pigs or turkeys on that place?

                        Actually, a place like that might be appealing to a guy like me. I'm a disabled veteran with mobility issues. I can still walk, but man am I slow. It would take me a while to walk and hunt 15 acres. Depending on the availability of water and electricity, I'd probably pay $1,500.00 - $1,800.00. My son and I have a lease in Goldthwaite that is pretty much perfect for us, and we pay $3,000.00/yr.

                        Good luck,

                        Dave

                              I bet some of y'all would re-evaluate that 15 acre lease if you had to put your money where your mouth is.

                              I ain't mad, but IMO a post of $2,000 gives the OP an overinflated worth of his 15 acres of what could be unimproved land. Not even knowing if there is a campsite with water or electric.
                              I thought $800 was a fair price to lease a place where the landowner already said he will be hunting over the Thanksgiving weekend. My price looks like a low ball offer now

                              OP if you can actually get one of these guys to fork out $2,000 for your place then that's awesome!
