May as well lease unless you plan to become a farmer.

Marsh would be easier, but still has it's management costs associated and risks of no birds. I kick myself for not buying 20+ acres of marsh by Klondike a few years back - I was one of the first to hear about it by chance by striking a random conversation with the owner. I scouted it and saw ducks frequenting it too, hunted a lease not far from the land... Just wasn't in a position to buy it, could have, but didn't due to tunnel vision. Hindsight

Duck hunting is not deer hunting (petting zoo) where animals can be tied to trees / fenced in until they are shot or brought in and feed all day...:work:
Most peeps farm their land or have a farmer plus you need access to water...canal to pump from.....there is more involved than you think.

As I was day dreaming about teal season today I remembered this thread. I told yall I would come back here and post how many birds we killed out of our blind leased from reggie Knowles, so here it goes.

Including teal season we killed somewhere around 250 birds. We had a miserable second split. But it was such a bad year for most people last year that it makes it hard to tell whether I had a crappy blind or if that was just the norm last year. Anyway, we thought it was good enough to lease the same blind again this year.


Come on September!

Maybe so.....but you haven't duck hunted long if you haven't heard of at least a dozen leases being taken away by someone offering more money. Everyone wants to hunt the hot spot.

Oh I've heard it, but you really think he would've posted it for the guy if he wanted it? I guarantee he would've leased it in a second if he thought it was better than any of his other spots

Might even get to hunt Neus' s "old" blind with casey if you keep playing your cards right Meaux. Me I dont have to drink the cool aid or tell him how his behind doesn't smell. He has you for that Meaux.

Call the Cameron School Board office. Get on the email list. And get with your loan officer cause those *****es aren't cheap anymore.

I would assume if they come up for lease.....99% of the time is because the lease is not nearly worth the $$. It seems majority of the time when the good blinds come open they do not even hit the open market for bids or lease.
