Hunting lease question

oldbeeman said:
Long story short, looking for a deer lease, but having zero luck. I've hunted private property the last few years, talking 2-5 acre tracts. Now my son is hunting and that's just not enough land. I used to hunt Lewis county, and I thought I'd just go find another lease - well it is harder than I thought.

I'm open to anywhere in TN, KY, or VA.

Apologies of this is the wrong forum.

I sang the same song. 7 years I looked for leases, hard, really hard look. Not useless but nearly so.

Unrelated...Finally decided to buy small acreage for new home and Wife stumbled across 24 acres in Fayette County at not only the right price but you could say cheap.

Place is crawling with deer. Trail cams reveal very healthy numbers does and bucks. Even has ten-bird turkey flock.

Find a place and buy it. Right now finance charges will hurt but when Trump is elected we should see some relief. So start looking. and looking. If the asking price is stupid high, offer what you can afford and be prepared to walk away. Use this

http://tnmap.tn.gov/assessment/

tool to select a county and then look for land with issues, like in a flood zone or landlocked. Be prepared to spend some time
and gas evaluating sites. Use the real estate web sites so you can get permission to walk land and then correlate that look in the assessment program with that of another piece you are interested in. Also look for foreclosed or bank-owned property. If you find one...PM me and do not dawdle.


As a suggestion.....be prepared to act quickly. Get your financing in line and secure. Guess what--some banks don't lend money on undeveloped land. You will need 20% down. I don;t know if you are a veteran.....or if vet benefits cover undeveloped land.

Best of luck. Stay in touch

Did the same, had a sweet set up at a buddy's place that was 15 minutes from home then his Wife decided they were moving from his oasis. Went so quick I had to leave three buddy stands behind! Searched and searched for a lease within a hour drive with no success. We saved $ and set a budget for the right property and have literally been searching for several years. Finally found what I was looking for and should close on it this Friday. Seller has it set up for turkey and deer and I am super excited to learn a new area.

Today, I talked to the guy that brokers the largest number of leases for deer & turkey in western KY, Micah Seavers. Micah owns Southern Red's BBQ in Pilot Oak, KY, just a short distance from the TN/KY state line. He's an honest, hardworking guy that tons of landowners pay to arrange for their land to be leased. His leases are mostly in KY but he's had a few in TN. This year, he's had leases as low as $16/acre, which isn't too bad these days. I think he still has a few farms to lease for this fall. I don't know any details but you can message him on FB or call him at 270-970-2268 or 270-970-4107. Good luck!

^^^This^^^ I've known Micah for about 15 years and I don't think you would be able to find anyone that is more friendly and honest than Micah.
 
I don't know if it's still available, but:
