re: For a $1,000,000 buy in you can hunt deer like this in Louisiana (updated) pg 6

If you’re spending mid-upper 3 grand per acre for “premier” hunting land you’re getting absolutely shafted. If some of that value is including a nice camp/lodge then MAYBE it would be tolerable.

I can assure you, though, that 3 grand even will buy you plenty of quality if you know what to look for.

ETA: How many acres do most of you feel you truly need, btw? If it’s just me and my immediate family (I’m talking no more than 3-4 active hunters not always going at the same time) 250-300 acres would likely be plenty.

Just admit you have no earthly idea what you’re talking about and move along.

He is correct in many states, Louisiana is not one of them. Hunting property and land is general is ridiculously overpriced in LA.

$3,150/acre with massive lodge in Concordia parish

$2,950/acre without lodge in Concordia parish

$3,000/acre without lodge in Madison parish

$2,800/acre without lodge in Madison parish

$3,050/acre with small camp in Tensas parish

And that was just a cursory glance. If it’s in the the Mississippi floodplain it’s capable of producing just as well as the islands that everyone hypes. The only separating advantage the islands have had over everywhere else is herd management, and that gap has narrowed considerably in recent years.

I dont care how a man spends his money, if I had a million laying around needing to be spent, I would politic hard to get into WQ.

But if a man with a different mindset had the same million, you could have a helluva nice piece of property over that way. Yes, it would be limited, but you could have your whole family over for a party and not worry about rules, worry about guest policies, etc. This matters a lot to people.

I am not sure the poster is wrong about being able to have a great piece of property for a million buck. Certainly if you had another friend with another million you could have a helluva deal.

Your point that it costs $3,300-4,000/acre to buy quality hunting? Yeah. Those examples totally proved that. Not.

Sure, the size of some places was too much for a million dollars. I didn’t list them to prove that. Just price per acre. If the size is too large get a buddy in on the deal and split it.

To find the million dollar gem is going to take more than a five minute search through the first land site to pop up. They’re out there, though. I’ve seen them firsthand.

Lol. Has it occurred to you that I might have seen more? But it’s all good, I hope you end up with whatever property you desire.

I would be just as excited killing a basket rack 8 pernt on public land as that buck.

Here’s a deer my buddy killed bow hunting on public land in Ohio. He paid for the license and the gas to get up there

I’m stalking a buck something like that to take with my bow . If not this year , Next. Really good buck with a 22-24 inch spread .

I agree. I hunt public land and killed a nice 10 point a few years back. No bait, etc. Just attempted to figure out his route and won.
