| I've recently gotten back into shooting after a really long time away. The more time I spend at the range, the more I wish I had a small bit of land where I could go shoot (target practice) and possibly even go after some game. I was thinking that it would be a nice weekend getaway place to take the family and even to start doing some clearing and permaculture planting. Utlimately, we could even possibly build on the property. So, my thoughts were to buy a small bit of acreage (5+ ac) to do all of that. Then, I heard some stuff about "Hunting Leases" that I didn't know before. Originally I pictured them as run-down cabins in the woods where guys go hangout on weekends a few weeks before and then on weekends during deer season. LOL! I've since learned that many leases can offer year-round recreational opportunities for the family and for a fraction of the cost of buying property. Other than the lack of long-term ownership and homesteading on the property, it sounds like a hunting lease would meet a lot of my other "needs". So, here I am asking for more information on hunting leases. I like to target shoot (small caliber - .22 and 9mm), hike, camp, and kayak fish. I'm considering getting an ATV or 2. I have a wife and two daughters. The ideal "hunting lease" for me would: -Good Hunting (Umm, yeah... ...that would certainly be nice, huh?!)
-Fishing where I could launch my kayak. (Lake, Pond, Creek, River)
-Have a cabin/trailer with electric, running water, plumbing for occasional use.
-Have good trails/roads for hiking and ATV'ing. Am I dreaming or do these exist with some frequency. Where can I go to find out about what is to be expected and what might be available in the area? Thanks!

I would keep a close eye on Craigslist and other websites that are area specific and check the local papers including the Tallahassee Advertiser and Democrap. Make certain that before you commit to any lease you go see the lease and have a copy of the rules/regs so that you understand what is and isn't accepted. Some leases are geared more towards hunting only and don't like to have any extra shooting, some are geared more towards riding, which interrupts hunting, and some have a fine balance. You'll have to see quite a few to find your match and may have to miss this season in order to get invited to a few with some friends to get some ideas. Good luck!
