fly Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Just wondering if anyone knows what land is going for in central/western IL.? I may have an opportunity, but I don't really know if I want to go down the leasing road or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy28 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have been looking all over and IL is very expensive. I have seen a lot of places at $30 an acre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have been looking all over and IL is very expensive. I have seen a lot of places at $30 an acre. So say a farm was 200 acres. 150 of the acres were crop fields and 50 wooded. Would the cost of the lease be for the entire 200 acres or just the 50 (huntable) acres?

hoosierhunter Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Unfortunately I've had the same thing happen and the lease if for the entire 200 acres regardless of "huntable" acres.. I would say a person is flat out crazy for 30 bucks per acre for a lease. I would say 10 bucks a acres should get it done. Most are 5-10 here in Indiana...... Heck hunting land in that area is about 3500/acre so I can't see how it would generate 30 bucks for the lease...Just doesn't make sense........

Mach1 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 In our area, my cousin's husband pays $10/acre (I think) for an 80-acre tract that is wooded with a few small open areas for food plots and some small CRP-type spots.

MUDRUNNER Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Anywhere but Pike county 10-15 bucks/acre is what I'm hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 The rate will very depending on the land. I have one lease that I am part of in Southern IL that costs us $3600 for 350 acres. 100 acres of that are field and the rest is woods. It is actually a pretty good priced lease. If you get up to Pike or Brown County plan on spending double that if not more. You will notice more leases start to come available this spring due to the economy the way it is alot of leases are not getting renewed. Good Luck....

LLBUX Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Many leases in Pike, Brown and Adams are running $40-75(or more) per acre. All acres in the parcel are included, not just timber. Can hook you up in Scott or Morgan (next to Pike) for less. Pm if interested. Good luck! LLBUX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ildrhntr Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I have a neighbor that was charging 100.00 per day and you could hunt any of his ground. He has around 2,000 acres and one piece has around 700 acres of timber on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
