The price of Quality Deer Land makes me SICK.... The Average to even Above Average Joe can't afford land.. I don't undestand how some people afford this shit.
I'm in the WRONG BUSINESS.. lol

I was just looking at 200 acres of deer hunting land in mid-GA asking $1,795 per acre in my latest GON magazine.Depends on what state your looking at.
Well then, get your check book out Robert. Then you can invite me down to kill stuff! LOLI was just looking at 200 acres of deer hunting land in mid-GA asking $1,795 per acre in my latest GON magazine.
If it were around me, it would be covered with 1/2" of water in dri season, and only accessible by plane here in Ohio. I don't think you can touch bare ground for 3K an acre. Around me those willing to pay for leased hunting in most situations were making the payments for most leasing it. Good luck folk's, but don't look for it to go down, as long as folks are willing to try and buy their success!

It said select cut with 20/30 acres uncut heavily wooded. At that price it is a deal not being totally clear cut. In prime deer country also.If it were around me, it would be covered with 1/2" of water in dri season, and only accessible by plane here in Ohio.

For some people that is certainly true. Others want that certainty that it's always going to be there, no one is going to horn me out of land that I've heavily invested in. No doubt leasing is cheaper in the long run but you don't build equity either. Leasing works for some, owning is the answer for others.IMO... Makes NO sense to buy. When you buy, you are stuck.
I can lease a lifetime supply of land, way cheaper than I can buy it, in the same quantity.
I can also leave the area at any time and have the same amount (more or less) somewhere else.
No sense in buying. Not for hunting.
Several years ago my wife and I looked at property in GA and VA. Nothing in our budget.I was just looking at 200 acres of deer hunting land in mid-GA asking $1,795 per acre in my latest GON magazine.
Amen Brother....I feel your pain! I'm an old "sneak hunter" from way back here in Philly and the surrounding burbs. Back when ya HAD to sneak around even though bow hunting was legal in many of the spots I hunted. It was just easier so as to avoid the hassle of people who lived next to those wood lots from calling the police, who were clueless about PA Game laws and would harass me and tell me "You can't hunt in Philadelphia"...SMH. I miss those days, as the excitement of knowing that a P&Y buck could likely be seen and maybe even harvested on any given trip on any given day, was certainly a rush. Then Lyme disease became very prevalent in those areas, I tore my rotator cuff and had surgery, and many of my spots got developments built on them,which pretty much ended my vertical bow days and thus my suburban deer hunting ventures. Definitely seems like all the Anti-Hunter's and tree hugger's bought up all the farms and woodlot's in Bucks. Montgomery, and Chester Counties. You have a better chance of seeing Jesus than you do of getting permission to hunt a worth while property anywhere in those areas anymore. Public hunting land close by...That's a joke! You will see way more people than deer, and you stand a good chance of getting arrowed by some of the clowns.Perhaps one day I'll be able to afford some...not in the cards in the foreseeable future. I'm tired of begging and pleading for permission, especially here in the 'burbs of Philadelphia. I've even mentioned leasing a few times at a reasonable price (for me anyways). Hate having to rely on other people in order to pursue my hobby/passion.
No real public land that's close by and if it is, it's packed to the gills with all "sorts of people" doing all sorts of things..and not all of them hunting related.
Put 2 or 3 small 1/4 acre food plots out on your dad's 15 acres and the deer will be there.I'm sitting on 4 acres of land and my Dad has 15. One day his will be mine and that's plenty to keep up. His isn't hunting land but deer walk across it every night. I'd LOVE owning 50 acres of land but don't really want the expense and upkeep of owning it. I hunt private small parcels of land behind people's houses and I kill all I want each year with nothing but crossbow. The landowners pretty much give me the full run of their places so I put in food plots and permanent stands where I wanted them. In return I try to give them plenty of crappie fillets all during the spring and early summer months. Both them and myself are happy with our arrangements.
For sure! We bought 80 acres with cabin back in 1992 for $400/acre. Now heavily wooded hunting land in this area with road access goes for around $4000/acre...in fact I know a guy that just sold 40 acres for $167,000. Taxes over the years have never been over $700/year. So yeah, quite an investment I'd say!For some people that is certainly true. Others want that certainty that it's always going to be there, no one is going to horn me out of land that I've heavily invested in.
