On Rick’s bucket list is an archery elk in New Mexico or Montana.   One of Rick’s goals was to get a mule deer in Arizona this year on a spot & stalk.  After 3 hours of stalking, Rick just missed over the mule deer’s back at 52 yards.  He hopes to return this year for another go at it.

Well done Rick, and thanks for submitting a photo to the Base Camp Leasing photo contest.

ARE YOU READY FOR A HUNTING LEASE?

By Sean Ferbrache COO.,
American Hunting Lease Association

The article that follows is the first in a five part series of informative articles written for hunters of all experience levels and expectations.

From your first thought of a hunting lease to the moment you send an arrow or bullet in his direction, this series will guide you through the entire process of finding, securing and enjoying a quality hunting lease.

I have a mantra. When executed properly, the ‘hunting lease’ works for everyone involved.

Ok, yes it’s my job to say that. I get it.

But, it’s true.  When hunters and landowners share expectations and there are fundamental levels of both courtesy and stewardship, the hunting lease arrangement delivers the goods. No other arrangement provides hunters with access to quality wildlife habitat for a tiny fraction of what it would cost to purchase land of their own.

Further proof, most hunting leases are written for one full year. That means you get full access to your lease/property all year long. That makes a lot more sense than spending $5,000 to hunt with an outfitter for 5 days.  You have the opportunity to hang cameras, plant food plots, scout the pre-season, shed hunt and even hunt other game.

But, is a hunting lease right for you?  It really comes down to two topics. Money and expectations.Read more.    

A career Firefighter/Paramedic of 28 years with the Nashville Fire Department has given him the advantage of free time when off duty to be in the timber. You can rest assured that his listings provide a lot of detail on the property.  He believes his job is to paint you a picture in his assessment of your Tennessee Hunting Lease, and so you practically know your property even before you plant your foot on it the first time.

Since 2008, when the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency implemented a 3 buck per season limit, Tennessee has seen a rise in the numbers of mature deer harvested each year. Many hunters know what it takes to manage their property to grow and hold big bucks; they just need a place to do it. With the decreases in hunting opportunities on private land in the last few years, and increases in many cases on public ground, increasing the numbers of Tennessee land for lease is Daryl’s top priority!
