Hunting and Recreational Leasing

Income without selling trees

In today’s economy, everyone is looking for a way to earn a little extra money. Opening up your property to hunting and recreational leasing opportunities is a relatively simple way to do just that, but is often overlooked by private landowners.  Timber sales, oil, gas and mineral leasing, and agricultural leases overshadow the thought that income can actually be generated simply by making available your lands recreational benefits for others to enjoy.

Hunting and recreational leases offer many benefits to the landowner as well as lease members when they are properly developed.  Landowners; how comforting is it to know there’s a set of concerning eyes policing the land in your absence? At the same time, you realize income from leasing to help offset property taxes which plague landowners large and small. Hunters; how many of you have invested countless hours scouting a favorite hot spot only to find someone else is in “your spot” on opening day? As a lessee you secure an area as your own private reserve, with opportunities to strategically locate tree stands/ground blinds and sometimes even food plots (with permission from the landowner).

FORECON, Inc. offers everything you need to enroll your property into a hunting and recreational leasing program.  We work with the landowner to customize a lease according to your objectives, from the terms and conditions to the pricing.  We advertise the potential lease in newspapers, at outdoor expos and most importantly to the members of our hunting lease network. It is our commitment to find reliable lessees, draft lease contracts, secure payment and maintain suitable insurance requirements.   Our leasing program allows for a very inexpensive and hassle-free way to lease your property, and lease it quickly!

Enjoy the benefits of supplemental income while having peace of mind knowing your property is posted and patrolled by a respectful lessee.  All the while it is still your property, and no lease will keep you from utilizing your land when you want or how you want; this includes conducting timber sales when your woodlot permits, and recreational leases won’t disrupt opportunities to lease your land for oil and gas rights or even agriculture development. Know also that maintaining and controlling deer populations on your property benefit the overall health of the forest by minimizing the herd’s devastating effects on forest regeneration and/or crop damage.

There are many benefits to leasing your property, consider taking advantage of the value of your recreational resource now. Visit our full HuntLease page here or join our hunting lease network to keep up to date with HuntLease news, new leases and more!
