Using a hunting lease to make money?

[Boss Buck]

I all way think if I'm or we as group are leasing. We or I should be able to charge a stranger to come and enjoy. With that said I feel I did a lot for the property.I all was treated It as if it were my on!!!!

Only if you presented it to the land owner and he approved.
I have a 26 year relationship with my land owner.
What i am suggesting is this. I ia ma a firefighter with a lot of extra time)
having about 6 weekends booked with preferably a family at $150-200 a weekend. only on weekends i could actually be there with them and monitor activities. Basically a guided weekend in the woods.

Interesting concept and would probably make money but who is responsible when something bad happens?? Accidents will happen and with the wrong people you and/or the land owner could be in court fighting civil damages...

[Boss Buck]

And we never did!

I have given that some thought
insurance would probably be a must and I'm sure would effect the weekend rate

Basically i'd like to help my land owner make a little extra money and help myself with the lease rate as well. There are plenty of people who would like to go camp but may not be able to find a state part spot they like on a weekend they like. People pay good money to do things and i love to be at the lease so a win win in my book. But i realize there are many variables to its success

Good thinking... I am certainly not trying to be negative but it seems like people are out of control trying to make a quick buck on more and more frivolous lawsuits... Good luck and I might be interested in taking my nephews camping if you get it going

It takes more then 200 bucks for me to be away all weekend.

I think I wouldn't do it just because of the liabilities. If someone gets hurt or gets snake but it may all come back to bite you.

you would be welcome any time...as would any TBH member who just wanted to get away for the weekend with the family.

just so long as i was off work and able to accompany the group.

Let me translate to English for him.

"I always think if I, or we as a group, are leasing, then We or I should be able to charge a stranger to come and enjoy. With that said, I feel that I do a lot for the property. I've always treated it as if it were my own"

I guess its not about making money as much as it is about opening up a true outdoor adventure to ( some ) folks that may not be able to find a place otherwise or who would rather be in the country rather than a state park

[sharkhunter]

I would think the landowner would get upset.

X2 if the land owner wanted to start a retreat I would think he would. Many a person has lost a lease because of subleasing be careful.

I think that if the landowner is on board, you are willing to manage it and you cover yourself with some liability insurance then it would be fine. Sounds as if your heart is in the right place and you're wanting to do this for other's benefit. Good guy!

Not something id even consider with out a long discussion with my land owner.
I am to close to them to do anything to jeopardize our relationship.
