What is deer lease worth by LOW


UGUIDE

Recommended Posts

I was just curious if any of you would know what a deer hunting lease would go for on 160 acres of wooded land just south of Arnesons area (Rocky Point - Roosevelt)? My wife owns 160 acres there and we have no idea what a lease if worth. I'm thinking at least the taxes on it. The lease would include all hunting rights (grouse, bow, gun)

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Lease for taxes seems to be quite common up here. Do you already have someone to lease?

I believe it is leased for 2010 but the guys in there are not paying her Dad enough to make taxes and so we might take over leasing it out and would start 2011 but no I do not have anyone. If interested please PM me.

Thanks for the responses guys.

We pay roughly $1,000 for 80 acres near Walker, it basically covers Potlatchs' taxes.

Other thing to consider is what rights they may have to the land, as far as putting up stands (also type, perm, ladders, hangers), making food pots, clearing/maintaining trails etc. The more you allow the lesee to do, the more attractive it would be to lease.....

That seems pretty steep @ $12.50 an acre for only hunting rights. Is that the going rate in Minnesota? I could have sworn that I had seen average rates were half of that for states like Kansas, Iowa, etc.

that is true but for the most part those are very large tracts of land. There is economy to scale.

Yeah, I assumed (and took into consideration) some economy of scale on a smaller parcel, but $12.50 an acre still seemed higher than I would have expected based on my assumptions and limited knowledge/experience with lease prices.

A lot also depends on the type of land it is not just the size. A wooded 40 with game and in the "right spot" may be more $$$ than a 160 acre hayfield. So take that into consideration as well as what is allowed - trails, stands, food plots, etc. I would think you could get enough to at least cover taxes and then maybe more depending on what it offers.

Well we just put the lease together and I thought I would update this thread. It will include 600 acres of total land which is 280 wooded and balance in crop land. Rate is $10/acre + insurance or you could look at it as $4.60 acre for total. Some permanent stands are on the property and the lease is private and exclusive for all hunting rights included.

I should also mention that we would be willing to lease just 160 wooded acres.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
