Eliminate any surprises by developing a lease contract that outlines responsibilities of the seller and the buyer. Some ranches or farms are large enough and have sufficient number of game to be independent. When land areas are small and when game populations roam unpredictably over several properties, cooperatives or partnerships among landowners are best. Write contracts among or between landowners to ensure thorough understanding of how the operation will function and the responsibilities of each party. Usually one or more people within the cooperative run the operation.
Cooperatives are useful when animals feed on one property then leave by the hunting season.
Profits from access to some partners' lands are shared with partners' whose land helps feed and maintain the game animal supply. Recreation Granting access to private land to fish, hunt, camp, or any kind of recreation is an unselfish act by the owner that provides welcomed experiences for recreationists. Guidelines Access to private lands is a privilege respected by most visitors, but when some abuse the privilege access is often denied to all. Access to private land can be dealt with in a positive way. If you choose to have recreationists on the property, know who you have and communicate the rules.
