If you are looking to buy hunting land in the near future, or take out a lease on a parcel of hunting land, you need to do your research carefully before you commit to anything in writing. It isn't enough any more to know that the land is presently used for hunting. The land has to be able to sustain animals, whether it's deer or bears, ducks or coyotes that you are hunting.
So, what exactly do I mean? When looking at hunting land, check to see whether any parcels of land attached to the one you are interested in have previously been hunted, leaving a smaller acreage that may not support the number of deer or whichever animals or birds you hunt that you need to make for successful hunting seasons in the future. Does the land you are interested have sufficient cover for the animals and birds to feel comfortable? Is there enough food there for them for the whole year? Are there areas where you can build a permanent blind, if you choose, or if you are leasing do you need to use temporary blinds?
Has the land been hunted continuously in recent years? Are the number of animals vastly reduced, so you will need to restock, either by not hunting for a few years, or by introducing new animals, some how. This can really affect how you use your land, and may not be a feasible purchase if you are buying the land, and helping to pay for it with hunting club memberships, since these members will understandably want to hunt as soon as the season is open.
If the hunting land has been divided into smaller portions and sold, you need to make sure that the land you are interested in is still useable for hunting, and that your neighbors don't have all the hunting and stock on their land. Check on the numbers harvested in recent years, do they make sense for that size of land?
If you will be leasing the hunting land, make sure you know what you can and cannot do on or to the land. I mentioned building a blind earlier, but you also need to make sure you know what and when you can hunt and whether there are any restrictions. Can you change the habitat a little if needed to make for a better hunt?
Then there are the financial considerations of how you will profit from the hunting land. Make sure if you are offering memberships that you state clearly what the membership covers, and any limitations. In other words, do a thorough investigation of the land you are interested in, and that around it too. Have a look for the animals you are hoping to hunt there by spending some time watching and listening.
Check out your finances, and your business proposal for the land, and if everything looks good, then make your offer for the hunting land and hopefully you will be successful.
