Hunting Land in Mississippi

50-70 acres seems small to hunt on yourself much less lease for others to hunt all as well.

It really depends on what you're hunting. For deer, 100 would be a good starting point. For duck, a 10-acre pond may be all you need. It really just depends on what you want to hunt and how much you're willing to spend.

Build a small camp with appliances and bunk beds and rent it out on the weekends you're not there for 100? 200?/person per weekend with a minimum of say 3 hunters or something. A lot of people would love to have their own secluded plot of land to hunt for the weekend who can't afford getting into a lease.

Are there hidden costs?

always, especially if you're dealing with constructing a pond, camp, utilities, etc.

Besides logging the land (which I don't want to do) are there ways to make money off the land?

Any other crop you want to sell?

Maybe lease it out to some hunters?

50-70 acres maybe a little small to be leasing out to other hunters IMO. just large enough for 1 or 2 people max.

How much are you able to spend on a property?

I know someone who might be interesting in selling his place in woodville. Bout a 140 acres, has a double wide house on it... lots of fields and all.
