Catch 22. Listen to your buddies or listen to the government? Lol

55k for a section with 4 blinds ain't terrible. You can pick out the best blind and sublease the 3 others for 15k a piece (plenty of suckers with deep pockets) and then you are out of pocket 10k for the best blind. If your blind isn't the best one that year then trade with the best blind or kick them out so you can have the best blind. That's what has been happening lately anyways. Some people end up subleasing and essentially getting their blind for free or very reduced rate

30 to 55k a year! That is literally almost a grand a hunt. I'm no mathematician, but couldn't you just go guided everyday for cheaper. Not have to put in any work, no boat upkeep and a jam up lodging experience for cheaper? It just doesn't add up. What is even more nuts is the prices people in Houma marshes pay to shoot ringers and spray hyceinth and Salvania every year. SE part of the state will eventually catch up. Plenty of guys that like to pull their gator tail boat with their Range Rover or Porsche SUV to Delacroix.

You think they are doing all this work you mention. If they have that much money to pay trust me they have hired help doing all this work. They likely call their hired help and tell them when to have the pro drive ready to go. Also, I am sure they are entertaining a lot of clients and friends....A guided duck hunt is about 1K for 3 people just for a drive up hunt...most have a 3 person minimum..... so if you entertain a lot and need to pay for overnight stays it adds up even more. This is not your avg middle class person paying all this $ for these leases....and if I had enough money I would pay the $ to...lol

I was told on these school board sections you get all the rights hunting,fishing
Shrimping,crabbing,alligators. Heard some sections have very valuable crabbing and shrimping and you are able to recoup a lot of money

The crabbing and crawfishing does not go with the hunting leases. You must negotiate a separate contract for aquaculture or agriculture.

The $55k lease has some crab income on it. I was told a substantial amount to pay the lease.

One of the $30k leases in West Hackberry has crawfish income to other is just hunting.

That 55k lease has a separate commercial crab lease. 55k just for the recreational rights.

Go to Mexico and shoot a seasons worth of meat in one trip. Then go to Canada for some mounts. All without having to throw a single rock.

You are correct. I haven't been to Mexico yet but a hunting buddy went and it was crazy how the duck hunting is.

I don't see many people leasing a marsh blind for 15k

You know that Waylon Jennings song "Outlaw ****" that's how I feel about duck lease prices.

[rbertrand]

Guys with more money than sense paying these amounts!! I guess it's the 'chic' thing to tell your rich buddies you have a duck lease? That and all the 'outfitters' leasing up everythhing they can get their hands on. Good luck..

Supply and demand at work in a free market...do we need to keep beating that horse?
