Leasing the Hunting Rights to Your Land Of course, one of the easiest and best ways to make money on your land, in our opinion, is to lease the hunting rights. There is a large market of people out there who want the flexibility and lower costs/responsibilities of leasing hunting land versus buying their own.
But it's a long-term investment, which is typically attractive to the buyer.Unlike a stock certificate that sits in a safe for 30 years where its value is completely out of your control and can lose, gain or completely shed its value, land can be used as it appreciates in price.
Most Alabama hunting land for lease ranges from $10 to $20 an acre. Sometimes the market price will fall or rise above that mark depending on the location and amenities. Things like cabins, lakes, duck ponds and power or gas lines can add to the price of a lease.
A hunting lease is an agreement between you (the lessor) and hunters or anglers (the lessees) that allows them to visit and hunt on your land for a specified time period. Your lessees pay you per acre or per lessee for their hunting experience.
A RESIDENT landowner who possesses an Alabama Driver's License or other proof of residency may hunt on their land without having to purchase a hunting license. A RESIDENT landowner's immediate family may hunt on the land without having to purchase a hunting license provided that they are RESIDENTS of Alabama.

Land appreciates at a yearly average of four to six percent. For this example, let's say the rate of appreciation is five percent, enjoy this hunting property for five years before selling it.
If your sole target is hunting then leasing definitely has benefits. You could potentially buy land that maybe is so great for hunting. Even if you make it "better" it still may never hold the animals you want it to. With a lease, if the hunting is not what you thought you can always look for another lease.
