Submit Your Property Information

Starting your hunting lease evaluation could not be easier. We just need some basic information about you and your property, including your name, email, phone number, the name on the property deed, the state and county the property is located and the number of acres.

We also ask if you could provide a brief description of the property. For example, you might say, “The property has a two-acre pond, several access points, and is adjacent to a national preserve.

Once you provide this information, it will be sent to your local agent and he will be equipped with everything to evaluate your property.

Digital Evaluation By Leasing Agent

Based on the information you enter in the landowner form, your local leasing agent will have the ability to locate your property in the county GIS system online. When combined with the details you provided, these mapping tools and their professional expertise, our agents will be able to develop a preliminary estimate of the annual revenue you could generate by leasing the hunting rights to your property. While this is only a first estimate, it is common for our agents’ initial quotes to closely align with the final price.

Below are some of the common characteristics leasing agents look for when evaluating a property.

Contact From Your Leasing Agent

Once your local hunting lease agent has finished the previous steps and determined your initial quote, you should expect a phone call from them. When you receive a call, it will probably come from an unfamiliar phone number, as it will not originate from the corporate number (866) 309-1507.

Therefore, we recommend saving your local leasing agent’s phone number (which you will find in an email sent to you after you submit your information) to recognize when they are reaching out to you.

In this phone call, our representative will discuss our program in much more detail and address any questions you might have. Our objective is to make you feel assured in our process and supply you with all the information needed to make an informed decision.

Your Decision

Now that your hunting lease agent has supplied you with all the essential details and addressed your inquiries, you can make a confident choice to join Base Camp Leasing and list your property with us.

FAQs

The property still belongs to you. You are allowed full access to the property even during a lease. We just ask landowners to be mindful of when hunters are on the property. They are paying a premium price to hunt your property and deserve to have as few interruptions as possible.

No, all hunters who will have access to a property must be listed on the lease. Anyone who access the property and is not listed on the lease will be consider as trespassing.

The leasing agent will suggest the number of hunters that could comfortably hunt a given property. The idea with limiting the number of hunters is to provide a better experience for the hunters. Also, to ensure the property isn’t being over hunted with too many people having access.

Pricing for a lease is determined by the leasing agent for the territory. Their experience and knowledge of the going price is how they determine a quote for a property. Many factors will be taken into consideration when an agent is determining the price. Some of those include, the amount of timber, age of the timber, food sources, water, terrain, and population of game in the area.

The name of a hunter on a lease can only be changed prior to hunting season starting where the property is located. Once hunting season begins, we will not remove/replace any hunters on a lease. However, you can still add additional hunters to a lease at any time, given you have not reached the maximum number of hunters for the property.

Once the property is leased you will receive the hunter’s contact information. You will be able to reach out to them at any time during the lease.
