What to offer on a hog lease

Well I see 2 sides. I don't have a lease so forced to hunt public unless something comes up (oh so painful not enough public land) so I'd pay a small fee. 1000 is way too much, public is cheaper but much less convenient. A couple good ideas above, but If I'm feeding corn it wont be much.
If I had a lease I'd only do this for free, however I would supply some corn to get it moving and maybe keep it going.
Just depends on your situation.

This was my confusion. If it’s crazy to even consider paying for a hog lease then why tell the OP it’s worth a couple grand?

I think you would be suprised to know you dont have to pay for a “lease”.
Get to know a landowner. Create a relationship with them. Thru trust and understanding, as they realize you are not a risk to their property, a lot will allow you to hunt for free.
Offer up to so some work to improve the place. Set them up a place to hunt if that is something they would appreciate. Take then a nice bottle or something as a gesture of thank you in the holiday season. Lots of ways to have a place to go and maybe creat a new friendship out of the deal.

This is how it’s done. Then word generally spreads pretty quick to other landowners if you are responsible and kill a lot of pigs. Just make sure to leave places better than you found them. Close gates, don’t throw your trash out, drag dead animals out of the field unless they say otherwise, etc. Lot of landowners aren’t a fan of hunters tearing up their roads when it’s muddy either.

Depends. Are you just going to casually hunt the hogs or actually try and control them ? I controlled hogs back when I hunted them , I didn’t pay anything and had more country then time. If you are going to just hunt them with a bow or gun off feeders then a few grand a year for access would probably be good.

I don't hunt much anymore and I was never a "hog hunter". Killed several in the deer hunting process, mainly to protect the deer hunting. Back when I was hunting regularly landowners would beg you to kill as many as possible. Had a few who provided traps. Seems now it's a money making proposition on the land owners part. Pay for a hog lease or pay extra to kill hogs or pay for a day/guided hunt. Not for me.
