Hunting has been, for ages, a passion for many Americans. Hunters all have their preferences and favorite disciplines, whether that refers to wing-shooting disciplines, or deer hunting in the South.

ALABAMA HUNTING LEASES

Alabama hunting land for lease, among the possibilities, will always be popular with a great many hunters. The same applies, of course, to neighboring states such as Georgia, Mississippi and Florida, for example. The South, like other parts of America, has its loyal followers, and thousands turn up year after year for their chance at leaving with that trophy they have been dreaming about all year long.

Of course every hunter wants to know that they are offered the best lease in Alabama (and elsewhere) when they sign up, and they want to know that they do not overpay per acre, that they are offered quality buck for the hunt and that they receive the necessary assistance from the landowner in terms of which their hunting experience is made more pleasurable, for example.

HUNTING LAND

So how does one go about finding the best hunting land for lease in the state that you ...
... visit, whether that is Alabama or South Carolina, for example? In previous decades it was much more difficult. These days the industry is structured, and hunters are given great opportunities to find the hunting lease that suits their preferences, whether their species of preference is, say, deer or birds, in the state and even county they like best. A few very professional management agencies now advertise hunting leases, either in the local press or, more than ever before, on the internet. There are a few good examples of such companies, notably Westervelt Wildlife at Tuscaloosa (and one or two others).

HUNTING CLUBS

These services approach all leases in a very structured way, making the choice for the hunter so much easier. They either advertise their own leases, or they manage and administer hunting leases on behalf of other landowners in the mentioned states. One of the most popular and successful methods yet, remains the hunting club. Hunters can apply for membership of a specific club (when an opening comes up).

The agency, staffed by experienced managers and support staff, vetoes all applications so that only responsible, ethical hunters are allowed membership. For the landowner making use of such services, it means great control over the process by a service that supports all initiatives to conserve wildlife and that ensures that everything is done to enhance the experience for the hunter.

LANDOWNERS AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Of course, an approach that sees greater cooperation between management services and landowners will be of benefit for the latter who relies on visits by good hunters, hunters that will honor their efforts to conserve according to scientifically proven methods, which the management service puts in place. Of course this relationship between landowner and management consultant has to be built upon the principles of a contract between them, whereby the consultant’s services are offered to help the landowner develop their land for recreational purposes, i.e. offering hunting land for lease to the public. Once they agree on what is expected of the consultant, the rest starts falling into place.

Leases can be advertised, membership of hunting clubs can be offered to the public and hunters are given the opportunity to find the lease that suits them best. Among the best managing consultants one normally finds that they administer the leases professionally, such as, say, creating separate webpages for every hunting club, so that members log on to their club’s page, where they are offered information that applies to that club only. This is a great way of making sure that members of clubs are always informed, that they understand their responsibilities and that they are offered, too, opportunities to ask questions and even make suggestions.
Hunting land for lease in Alabama and elsewhere in the South is easier to find than ever before, especially with the help of a good website.
