all of the hunting lease sites i've looked at (base camp leasing, hunting lease network, and a few others) all seem to charge around a minimum of 20$ an acre, regardless of what type of land it is, more if it looks like high quality hunting ground. If you wanted to lease it out yourself, i would think somewhere in that neighborhood or a bit less would be a fair price. I believe there are liability waiver forms on the DNR website, so that really makes the point of paying someone for the 3 million insurance pointless.
I know on a personal level, i would much rather lease directly from the landowner rather than through a company.

I've also noticed a site that leased from one site (that i'm pretty sure was base camp), then listed it on their own site for more money.

You should get plenty of interest at $10-$15 acre range.

Harryman if you are still looking to lease. I'm your man! My nephew and I just found out we lost our lease I Switzerland county today due to property being sold. We carry lease insurance and have never left one single rut on the property. I would love to talk to you about it.

I first thought the law didn't cover if money was exchanged, but after rereading it I discovered that it does. Just a thought. Give it another read: IC 14-22-10-2.5 Restrictions on landowner liability to hunters, fishers, and trappers IC 14-22-10-2.5 Restrictions on landowner liability to hunters, fishers, and trappers Sec. 2.5. (a) A person who goes upon or through the premises, including caves, of another: (1) with or without permission; and (2) either: (A) without the payment of monetary consideration; or (B) with the payment of monetary consideration directly or indirectly on the person's behalf by an agency of the state or federal government; for the purpose of hunting, fishing, trapping, or preparing to hunt, fish, or trap, does not have an assurance that the premises are safe for that purpose. (b) The owner of the premises does not: (1) assume responsibility; or (2) incur liability; for an injury to a person or property caused by an act or failure to act of other persons using the premises.

That changed in 2011-12.. The Indiana Gen-eral Assembly in 2011-12 enacted law (IC34-31-9) titled, “Limited Liability Arising from Agritourism Activities,” the Web address for which is goo.gl/43XsIY This law tightened areas where a landowner who allows a person on his or her property as an invitee can be held liable for inherent risk associated with the activity. Although the name might be misleading, lease hunting is specifically listed as an agritourism activity.

I do not completely agree with the lack of private land for hunting. It only takes a little research and effort. I was able to get 3 new private properties to hunt this year alone. I either went to their house and talked to them or called. The problem is everyone just wants to hunt the land for free (not talking about money). Maybe people should just sit down with the owners and spend sometime with them or help them out around the farm. This is how people used to do it. Most of the time these landowners, in my experience, enjoy and look forward to the company of others. I am only 30 years old and this is how I was raised. Offer up some help to the owners and you would be amazed at what could happen. Not knocking on people from the cities, but where I have from people still look after their neighbors and people in the community. I just don't see this in the urban areas where I went to college. I wouldn't trade the country living for anything.

bonecollector23, I hear ya. 2 years ago I worked on a friends Dads tractor for a few days. He couldn't get it running, and I did it just for the heck of it. Electrical problem is what it turned out to be. He wanted to pay me and I said no, your money isn't any good. This year when my friend heard that I was having a hard time seeing deer he offered to ask his Dad. Nobody has hunted the farm for a number of years, and it's slightly over 300 acres. Dad said yes, no problem.

Things have just changed so much from how I was told it used to be. I don't like the fact that the whole sport is becoming basically a business controlled by who ever has the most money.

Things have just changed so much from how I was told it used to be. I don't like the fact that the whole sport is becoming basically a business controlled by who ever has the most money. Couldn't have said it better. I live out in the country, and the neighbors watch out for each other. One night I pulled around behind one building that I have at night to unload meat from an out of state hunting trip into the chest freezer. Less than 5 minutes later I see 2 flashlights round the corner of the building and hear a "Hello?". My reply was "Hi Brian!". His reply? "Oh good, it's you, now we don't have to shoot you." My neighbor's wife saw the headlights go around behind the building, knew I was out of state and besides that isn't usual anyway. She told her husband, and he and a buddy hurried up and walked over to check things out. If you lived in a big city, that usually wouldn't be the case, at not in the big city that I grew up in. Brian and his buddy both got a bunch of elk meat to take home with them that night.
