Hunting and Fishing Lease - Short Form

Purchase/Lease a Plot of Land. The first step to forming your very own hunting club is purchasing or leasing a piece of property if you do not already have one. Decide on the Members. Organize an Initial Meeting. Treat the Hunting Club Like a Business. Get An Insurance Policy.

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.

Greeting and Introduction. After a greeting that uses the landowner's name, explain who you are and where you're from in the first paragraph. Mention Bowhunting, Make Your Ask. Agree to Follow Rules. State Your Intentions. Offer to Give Back. Share Contact Information. Next Steps.

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.

Limit the agreement to the people and lands involved. State the price of the lease and the kind(s) of animal(s) the lessee may hunt. Describe the land to be leased. Prevent the lessee(s) from subleasing the property. Clearly state which rights are included in the lease.

How much does Texas Parks and Wildlife pay for these leases? Payments vary widely depending upon things such as location, size, habitat quality, game species and hunt dates provided. Currently, lease prices range from about $2 to $10 per acre.
