Lost lease

[Cmk07c]

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.
