Yes I got this same feedback and feel like he definitely needs help . If anyone is looking he has 3 different properties that he needs people on for this year . 3k a gun , allows guest to shoot does , some places have a few axis here and there. It's a little more then I want to spend on a spot for this year once I slept on it . If anyone is looking I can give his number for you to contact him , seems like a nice guy , he will spend a lot of detailed time with you on the phone so I would say if someone is ok with 3k a gun and truly interested let me know .
Thanks for the feedback RRagan

500 acre tract for 4 guns only right at London line , water electricity no cabin.
1300 (he lives on) has common cabin campground , think he said that one would have 12 to 14 total on it . Don't quote me .
2500 acre west of town (junction) max numbers of hunter is 17, maybe a few less , more exotics on this one , allowed one trophy whitetail or axis buck instead , everything else free game . Common campground cabin area . Possible mld 3 on this one , still listed for mld but he pulled it front previous hunters because they were cheating the books and not respecting it he said . He may put it back in place he said in the future . This is all hear say from our conversation . He seems like a really nice guy and he hs alot of area he needs members for and sounds like he really needs someone to help him keep up with it . He admitted some of the past issues were because he wasn't involved enough and people abused it .

The good , lots of deer , I hunted an area in the middle of the lease that was on the edge of the lease and had no one passing by my stand on the way to their stands. I averaged 20 - 25 deer a day. I saw one mature doe the entire season , again a lot of of 2.5 yr or younger does and bucks. With my job and travel schedule I personally was not willing to spend another 3 years hunting the property and wait on the 2.5 yr old deer to age to a trophy, especially since the lease price has steadily been increasing the last few years. This is just my experience but after talking to folks who had been on the lease for years it has been the same thing for many years.

I used to lease from him in like 1997-2000. Ivy chapel ranch between junction and London. Ended up getting off because the guys on the lease were more interested in drinking than hunting. I heard that place ended up getting land swapped with a sister in law after his father in law passed. I never had an issue with Ward. He liked to drink your beer but other than that he was always pretty decent. I wouldn't hesitate leasing from him again for right price
