    Going in on a High Fence Coop?

    Has anyone here done that? If so, how has it worked. We have the opportunity to do so right now and are contiplating the advantages/disadvantages with something like that. We've already had some discussions with the landowner who asked us and it seems like a good deal to pursue.

    Any comments?

    sounds interesting, do you have guaranteed hunting rights for an extended period, how old is the landowners are his family that will inherit on board? Every time I got into a improvement system with a landowner it went south after all was done to his advantage, lodges, permanent blinds etc. be careful

      He just recently bought the property. He has already said that he would put a clause in his land contract that if one day he ever sold it, it got inherited, etc, that the person could not high fence our adjoining fence. Really, its just a way for him to get more land for the deer to roam I guess, and we help out with getting breeder bucks, feed, etc.

        I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has experience in this type of situation?

          Do you own the land? What are the relative sizes of the two places? Will one designated biologist oversee/manage the harvest numbers? With the right people those things can work. With the wrong ones you could hate it and be legally locked in. Worst case scenario is that a new heir/owner day hunts it mercilessly and you are both legally obligated to leave the dividing fence alone.

            See the other gentleman is the one assuming more risk, he has the bigger piece of property than we do but he heard from a family friend that we are good hunters. It would be about 1100 acres under high fence with our piece only being about 1/5 of the total land. We do own our land FYI.

              Sounds like a good deal. Get to know the potential heirs WELL. It really sounds like a win/win for everyone if you guys get under a serious management program. In five years you could be culling 140's and showing us trail cam pics of 170's.

              BTW, get that "no fence out" clause in writing and the value of your land just jumped a thousand dollars an acre.

                CC, that's exactly what we intend to do this weekend is make sure that thing is in writing. Not to mention we will hash out all of the details about how this thing will work.

                I guess one other reason why we are going to do this is that if we don't do it, we will have 2 sides of our property high fenced. Couple that with some yahoos across the county road who shoot everything on sight, and we would be in trouble (they have a blind and a feeder on our bordering fenceline...isn't that a bit messed up?).

                  Would the no fence clause really hold water in court? Could you live with your piece being completedly fenced without access to the bigger place in case he clause didn't hold up? If the answer to question #2 is yes, then I do think it's a good deal for both. However, it wouldn't take much to "ruin" 1,100 acres if someone gets a litlte off track and decides to "get their monies worth".
