Question about hunting leases

[DrNick]

Hey Guys,

I am considering signing a hunting lease....and have some questions: what do you guys pay? How much per year? Per person? How much land? When do you have access?

Where do you even find these hunting land leases? Just in wts advertisements or asking locals?

Isn't it illegal to "acquire a hunting lease"? In Alberta it's against the law to charge for access for hunting purposes. I'm sure lots of palms get greased by outfitters, but technically verbotten, at least in Alberta.

Not illegal in ON. Lots of people around here rent properties to hunt on. This is what happens when you have a large amount of hunters and a large amount of private land. Nowhere else to hunt.

But how do you find those private areas to hunt on?

Is there a place where owners advertise?

Put an ad on KIJIJI or in Ontario Out of Doors, looking for land to rent. Or go door-to-door and talk to the farmers/landowners.

I knew a hunter that started the lease game in our area paying $200 a year to hunt a 100 acre farm with a 15 acre bush. The joining farms around this property allowed anyone that asked to hunt on their property. The second year it was $100 and now it's free again.
Not much game on farm and a lot of time spent posting and keeping tresspassers off.

$500 may be a good deal until next year when someone wants to pay a $1000 to hunt that land so how much are you willing to pay?
