Deer Lease Value

[Bocephus123]

Haven’t looked at the costs for either resident or non-resident hunting licenses in a long time. That is crazy expensive! Got my lifetime combo license a little over 30 years ago for a grand total of $400.

Me too best 400 i ever spent

hunting lease---just throwing this out there. A few years ago I decided to buy a little land. Probably cost me less than a car payment. I bought some fairly crappy land (80 acres) that was not good for hardly anything but *hunting*. Large creek that may flood nearly 75% of it at times. But its a 'critter highway'. Besides hunting I was wanting a 'hide out' if the SHTF ever (built a small cabin). Myself, son, and son-in-law have taken probably 7-8 deer out of it thru the past 3-4 years and have not even touched the population. Turkey and hog are there as well. Have my own private 100yd shooting range set up.....not fancy but it works. You might look into something like that. The problem is there is a lot of 'Chinese land buying' in our state right now, which may drive up the prices. This will be a family heirloom in my opinion. Kids don't want the home I've lived in for 35 years nor any of my 'stuff'. But I think my sons, grandsons, granddaughters will appreciate this for many years after I'm gone.

Good move!
If you want to make sure it’s passed down to family put it in an irrevocable trust with stipulations that it can’t be used as collateral to secure a loan or anything like that.
Put enough money in a separate account to pay the taxes on the land for many years so the sheriff doesn’t sell it for delinquent taxes.

Yes. I did put it in a trust along with my home. My son and wife are co-trustees. The taxes are only about $60/year. LOL. If they can't come up with that they deserve to lose it !!!

Speaking of trusts.....when I purchased my silencer I got one of those NFA trusts for it. With my son and wife again as co-trustees. I have since put ALL my firearms in that trust so when I go.....everything still belongs to them and avoids a lot of paperwork, etc.

Lifetime = zero dollars except for bear I think. Crane/HIP is free when you're an old fart.

AFTER you purchase the $25 Lifetime SR Hunting License

 

[jackary]

HIP is free even if you aren’t an old fart just have to get it online from the wildlife department and not at a store.

Lifetime is 775.00 that is paid for in 2 seasons at your total. No brainer. Have mine finally and will never look back!

No brainer, depending on age. I am 65.
Sounds great for 20, 30 year old; until you get transferred out-of-state.

Can be a great thing, for some people, but necessarily the end all to end all.

Got my lifetime hunting in 1981 when I graduated college. Best $125 I ever spent!! I have filled a lot of deer tags in the last 40 years and hope to keep filling them for another 40.
