Understanding laws, regulations and rates. First and foremost, do some research on leasing laws and regulations in the state you are looking to find a hunting lease in. Dive in to see what the state’s liability laws are have an idea of what’s expected of the lessee and landowner. Next, you’ll want to research lease rates and breakdown a cost-per-acre figure.

HLRBO doesn't charge you anything unless we find you a lease that you like. Zone in on the property Once we send you our available properties and dates, it’s up to you to make the best choice. Do you want the owner living on the property or off-site? Do you want a large or small lease? Each of these requirements has their own set of pros and cons, so it depends what kind of hunt you are hoping to score. The absolute dream scenario is a small property next to a large property that doesn’t allow hunting. The big property will act as a sanctuary for deer that you’ll be able to hunt on the neighboring small property and we can help you find just that or whatever you are looking for.

Exclusive access Once you’ve found your last-minute hunting lease, see if the landowner is open to letting you hunt exclusively for the entire deer season. That’s one of the true benefits of a deer lease, you get to hunt without bumping into other hunters. Perhaps the owner is booked up for other weekends, if that’s the case try to work with their schedule and agree not to hunt when the other leasers will be there. You’ll want to alert the landowner about how many stands and trail cameras you will be putting out as well as how often you plan on hunting and what your hunting goals and objectives are.

Check your expectations Once you finally find your lease and close the deal, remember to keep your expectations in check. While it’s amazing and exciting that you found a property at the last minute, remember that you are hunting somewhere that’s new to you. Also, just because a property is privately owned, does not necessarily mean it’s going to be a gold mine filled with gigantic bucks. Also remember that working farmlands get worked, landowners drive roads, cut weeds and spray weeds among other things. Remember that you are a guest of their property and to stay cordial while you are using their land to hunt.
