    Poor man’s lease question

    If you were on your first lease and only had about $1200 to spare, what would be your first priority? Cheap camper or cheap atv? I already have feeders and cameras set up and a nice pop up. The place is small and i could get by hauling corn, equipment and game on a cart, but cutting longer trails into the place would be tough. There is a cheap motel 9 miles away. Tenting is also possible later in the fall. But a dedicated living + storage spot also hold strong appeal.

    Camper if I could make it close to the feeder in my truck. If not, atv and sleep in my truck.

      I’d buy a nice tent and good game cart. More than likely you can get your vehicle close to any area you need to get to. I have spent 30 years on 400 + acres with out an ATV.

            I would go for whatever keeps me warm and dry.

                Depend on the size. How big is it?


                If its too small, a living quarters is going to alert every game animal on the place if you need electricity and make a lot of noise. I've seen that make a place that had game on the cameras all the time to them going awol on the weekend when the camp is active.

                  No way I’m wasting money on hotel. A poor man spends his money on something tangible and takes great care of it. Nice tent with heater/stove would be my choice, occasionally an inexpensive running 4 wheeler comes across the green screen and then you can have both a place to stay and some wheels for the lease. We aren’t dirt floor poor but after blowing through a bunch of money on useless crap I’ve had to change how we are spending.

                    Buy a nice tent and enjoy. Put the rest of the money aside and not waste it. Sounds like a savings/investing opportunity is more important

                      It's becoming more about the campfire the older I get...hotel wouldn't cut it & will just add up over the season.

                        A place to stay warm, dry and away to have electricity. Water storage is next.

                          I’m in this camp. Staying on the place if it’s very small will soon have most of the deer being a no-show once they get your pattern down.

                            Something to sleep in, you can get by with your vehicle and cart to do what an atv will do.

                              This! I’ve never understood all the people that have to put light bars and radios on UTV’s , every critter on the ranch see’s and hears them coming from a long ways off.
