I'm glad I have 110 acres of my own to hunt on.
Yes but the problem with most clubs now is you're competing with other members for spots. Gotta reserve a spot online, can't hunt a spot you want cause another couple guys have all reserved up before you got a chance to. Can't risk setting up stands, feeders, cams etc for the simple fact other people get to go on that land and you might not even get to hunt it if and when u want.
Plus a lot if these clubs now make you check in your kill and where you got it. So if you find a good little spot, it won't be for long....
Nothing but glorified public hunting you have to pay for.
Leasing a private spot on your own, it's yours to come and go as you please and you don't have to deal with anyone else that you don't want to.
I gave up leasing years ago when land was still $150/acre in Harmon County... Had to live life close to there since.
To be quite honest though, I'm having to hunt some extended family land this year. Local rancher needed pasture to graze cattle, made me a $12/acre offer on 1620 acres... Couldn't resist it. I can still shoot down there (as per the lease agreement, I wouldn't give up the 1600 yd range) but I gave up hunting on it as it's not a good producer of deer.
The last time a landowner leased the grass on one of my spots, the leasehold locked the gates on me and ripped off my feeder.
You can lease grazing rights without the hunting rights.
All Indian trust land is leased that way. A farming lease on Indian land doesn't come with hunting rights.
