Any of you have experience leasing your farms for hunting? It's still kinda uncommon around here, but a few guys do it. A few years ago, I was approached about leasing my farm for deer hunting, for both bow and gun seasons. We never got around to talking dollar amounts, as I have a fairly large group of extended family (as well as my kids and myself) who hunt here...leasing for the gun season wasn't going to fly. Last week, I was offered $1500 for leasing my farm (550 acres; about 230 crop acres, balance is woods, swamp, creek bottom, and building site) to three guys (I know 2 of them - good, trust-worthy types) for bow season only. I had to say no, at least for this year, as a few of the "regulars" have already gotten permission for this fall. My wife thought that for that kind of money, I should go ahead for this year, but I'm not going to renege on giving the other guys permission to hunt. The down side, as I see it, is getting the guys who have hunted here for years upset, and limiting the number of deer taken. (I'm feeding WAY too many) But $1500 cash, and not having to DO anything to get it, seems like a pretty good up side to me. My Dad's land (80 acres abutting my farm to the west, minus the building site, and 60 acres abutting my farm to the south) would still be available to the other hunters. Your thoughts? If it works well, a bear hunting lease might be an option, too.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
