Hunting leases are a win-win for both parties.  Many landowners would like to lease their land but don't know how to go about it or how to find responsible lessees, much less what to charge or what kind of paperwork they need to protect themselves.  Many landowners also have a problem with people trespassing and hunting on their property without their knowledge.  Another advantage landowners incur by leasing their land is the lessees will post and patrol the property to protect the interests they have paid for in their lease.

In recent years, the hunting lease market in our area has boomed. There are a multitude of hunters looking for a high quality place to hunt and they are willing to pay for the privilege.  Kentucky has consistently been in the top five of Boone and Crockett class bucks harvested over the past several years. A large segment of hunters who lease land are from out-of-state.  The opportunity to hunt high quality game habitat where they have exclusive control is a very attractive option to many people.
