There comes a time when it is cheaper to book several hunts with a guide over paying the money for a lease.

True but i you have one blind and even if the price is 8k...3 ways is not bad. Plus if you hunt 20-30 times counting teal season and you have a son (now paying a guide for 2 hunters) you will be paying a hell of a lot of $......most guides are at least 200 bucks pwer person for a drive up hunt.

Didn't mean it is not worth the price of a lease. Some things, like hunting with the family, is priceless. There just my be a time when it comes out better/cheaper for some people.

Even looking at the app 2700 you pay, at $200 a hunt for an individual you can have 19 hunts. If you hunt every weekend, it would almost be a wash price wise.

I thought I was going to have to do the guide route this year. However, I rather have my own spot, that way my son and I can hunt whenever we want. Seems you can still get on a good deer lease for decent money but duck leases are getting crazy expensive.

You are right on the deer leases, but they are climbing in price also.

Alot of the piney woods leases around Beauregard parish are getting up around $700-800 now and your lucky to see a deer jump the road, much less from a stand. And the timber companies wonder why they can't get all thier money come hunting season.
