Re: Are You Looking for a Place to Hunt?

It would have to be a lot of land or very few members for me to have any interest (and not cost a lot  :chuckle:), but what's the saying in business: you can have two out of three--pick which two.  Even best managed timber property I think you get like one elk per two hundred acres (or whatever exact number is), so to get a herd of say twenty animals would need twenty four hundred acres and you should have right ratios with at least one 'bigger' bull with that herd.  So, for a group of five guys to each expect to get one 'bigger' bull each year would be like twelve thousand acres, but then you have to add in some buffer for a couple extra herds so say sixteen thousand acres.  I assume buffer necessary because for some reason the trespassing in Washington seems to be rather popular and two or three trespassers could really hurt all your work.

Waterfowl clubs can fetch a high dollar, but you get 3 and a half months.

 For big game I am not thinking people would be willing to lay more then around  $1000 per year. Because for that price,  I will just go to idaho or Montana.

It's going to take a ton of capital to get a sizable amount of land tied up for hunting.  Statistically something like 80% of deer hunters are rifle hunters.  I would never pay $1000 to share a lease with other people for an 11 day rifle season in eastern Washington. Elk, your going to be limited by the tags. I wont pay to shoot a spike. I might pay to shoot a big bull.

In summary, I don't see it working in Washington. For $1000 a year I can apply for Wa Id, Oregon,  Nevada, and Wy, and probably get a decent tag each year. Washington doesn't have the quality or quantity of big game to comand much for money.
