Ok, a guy I know asked me and a buddy to get in a lease in Christian county Kentucky. I hunted the lease last year and saw a good many does and a couple small bucks and my buddy saw a nice buck around 130", but couldn't get a shot. I heard Chad and Dana Wall originally had this lease and actually filmed a show where they missed a nice buck called the highway buck and they actually got pics of the highway buck last year and he survived as far as we know. The lease is a little over 500 acres and 80-90 percent is planted in corn. All the stands are already hung and feeders in place. The only expenses on top of the lease fee would be filling feeders and seed for small food plots, split 3 ways. There is a small camp to sleep at and a skinning shed in place also. Should I jump at this chance? The lease fee will be between $2000-3000 and my best friend and neighbor is getting in so we could travel together. Thoughts? Advise? Last year they killed a 10 that probably scored 145", a 125-130" 8 point, and a cull buck between 3 or 4 people.

Just a few pics I will post more, but photobucket is acting up for me. A couple of these are from farms a couple miles away, but most are from this lease.

I have heard that CC, KY is booner capital of the country per capita.

Had a friend from mandeville hunt up there for a while next to the drury tract. They bow only and killed wall hangers every season. Had I think 1200 acres.

Being a little ignorant on northern hunting, my question would be what's the surrounding property look like, is it mostly corn field too?

I'd jump on it if I were you. I'm taking a guided gun hunt to Kentucky during the rut this year and can't wait to get there. I even bought a new rifle for my trip (T34L now).

Total or per person?

8 hrs is a good haul, but if you can make it worth your while go for it.

That might be a stretch

If you are a trophy hunter then I'd jump on it. If you're gonna shoot the first 120" 2 or 3 year old you see then don't waste your money. I'm in a lease in crittenden county and it's great hunting. Kentucky is becoming the best state in terms of how many b & c's it's producing

I live in clarksville Tn, and hunt in Christian county. Lots of good deer. Hunt on a small tract of 250 acres. Lots of does and some good bucks. Didn't kill a buck last year but passed on some nice ones. It's worth it in my opinion.
