Owning a farming lease/hunting property
Posted on 12/8/23 at 3:09 pm

Anyone here own property that they manage for hunting and also lease to be farmed?
I'm looking into some properties in the southeast and looking for any general advice, warnings, stuff that is a huge pain in the arse that I might not have thought of, etc.
My ticket right now seems to be south Georgia or south Alabama.

I don't but I know some and listening to them, it's hard work tending to a piece of ground. The tractoring, the fence mending, water issues, cutting, etc.

Just spell it all out in the lease. Many times, the farmer is allowed to hunt the property.

Or lease the property, rice farms around here usually have the farmer controlling/collecting the duck blind leases because usually it's the farmer's pump and fuel pumping water so the blinds will have some.

What kind of farm? Do you expect the farmer/rancher to be involved in the hunting side? If it’s livestock, do the hunters need the animals out of the way? Then there’s the fencing/gates/water/repairs aspect.
It’s doable. There will be issues that come up. Have at it.

Your pockets better be deeply., anything good is going to be astronomical.

I do..lease 200 acres to a local who plants beans and the entire tract of 500 to an out of town hunter. They get along well, which is crucial, and lease set fees to both.

It really depends on the lands location, the crop that is being planted, and how intensively it is being managed for hunting. Many, many variables come into play. I manage about 8000 ac where I am also farming/planting about 1800 ac of rice annually. On the same property the land owner runs a large commercial hunting operation

He is saying: you manage 8000 acres, he’s your new best friend and your are going to put him in the best spot on the 8000 acres.
If you didn’t get that, you don’t really manage 8000 acres for deer hunting, because if you did, you would know about all the people who aren’t your Friend but they want to be.
People are selfish and self seeking. Surely you understand that!
PS - I’ll come help you with habitat management if you let me come shoot your biggest buck!

Trust me I understand! Land is managed for waterfowl! If it was deer I would not entertain anyone! I kinda selfish when it comes to deer!

We have land that has a mix of grazing tenants and hunting leases. It’s really all in the contracts and what you’re willing to allow. Good lawyers cost money but go a long way. This is in Texas but if you have any specific questions I’m happy to answer.

I manage properties for both and if someone tells you that you can rent to duck hunters and farmers with zero overlap they are lying.
It can be done, but a number of things need to be spelled out clearly.
Much less overlap with deer.
