“ Leases can fall into two basic categories : short-term ( for a particular season , deer , turkey , pheasant , quail , trapping ), or long-term ( one year or more for one or more species ). The type of lease you offer depends upon the type of wildlife you have on your land , how hunting may affect the daily operation of your farm or ranch , and what services you are offering the renter .”
In the article , they list five questions you should ask before diversifying your ranch with a hunting business . These questions include :
• Are you willing to let more people on your operation ?
• Are you willing to manage for wildlife as part of your operation ?
• What are your long-term objectives and sustainability goals for your natural resource base ?
• Are you willing to find the resources necessary to get the enterprise up and running ?
• Is the leasing program compatible with your other land management objectives ?
There ’ s much to consider when opening up your farm or ranch for agri-tourism or hunting enterprises , but with ample planning , it can be a strategic way to diversify your operation and earn more per acre .
