Hunt clubs often do a better job of posting and policing the property than the landowner can. They have a vested interest in discouraging poachers and are willing to spend the money it takes to keep others out of their leased land. Another way to increase the income from leased land is to add such amenities as a cabin for the hunters or provide for their meals during their use of the property. An innovative way to increase the income from forestland is to strike up a deal with the local bed and breakfast inn to house and feed the hunters while you provide a guide service of your land. In some other parts of the country these birds include pheasant, chuker, and a variety of ducks.
Most preserves offer guides, bird dogs, meals, lodging, game cleaning and packaging.
Shooting preserves in most states are required to be licensed. However, preserve operators enjoy a longer hunting season than that allowed for wild game. Public waters are receiving heavy fishing pressure to the point that it is difficult for beginning or even average anglers to enjoy a quality recreational experience. Landowners who want continued business will help to assure a quality experience for their guest by keeping their waters stocked with fish. The most popular fish involved in these operations are largemouth and smallmouth bass, panfish, catfish, and trout.
