One suggestion...If you only care to deer hunt...Find another local that likes to turkey hunt or squirrel or whatever. Give up those rights in return to keep poachers off/keep an eye on the place.
In my situation, I didn't get up to hunt except for twice a year on my land. A local essentially hunted my land with me. He actually paid me a lease fee and got the trespassers off. Win Win!
I like this idea. I'll have to visit with some of the locals. We normally deer hunt and not much else.
