Leasing is pretty common in KY. The going rate is $10/acre, but it is pretty difficult to find a good farm to hunt. Like with everywhere else, once the word gets out that there are good deer, everybody starts stating their bid to the place. We have exclusive hunting rights on 2 farms, one we lease (500 acres) and one we get to hunt for free (2000)...ok, now before anyone says anything...it may sound like we have a deal, but we have a HUGE problem with poachers in this state
One afternoon, we were out scouting the 500 acre farm and an 8-point in velvet was shot about 15 yards away from us
