Deer Lease for 15-16

Staring up a lease? Looking for members if so?

Those piney woods not the best, but some ok deer have come out of that area from time to time.

Last and worst case scenario. Starting to run out of options... Didn't know if anyone on the board had gone that route on a small tract with maybe 1-2 buddies, versus 30-40 others.

Hunting has been limited or absolutely non-productive the last 4 years. (seen 2 deer and 2 hogs on over 30 hunts between Jackson and Spillman, LA last year)

Ideally 150-300ac west of 55 south of the Homochitto River.

More looking for someone with info or experience messing with that... Is it worth it?

Joining an established club is really what I'd prefer, but I've been trying to find the right one for 4+ years.

I live in Madisonville and would pay well over $1,500 to hunt somewhere, but don't think it would be between Covington and Slidell. I am certainly looking for somewhere to hunt this next season. I've got money in hand to join the right place tomorrow. I won't let another hunting season pass with me not being in a lease somewhere.

I'm all ears for a good opportunity.

I put this camera up about 200yds behind my buddy's house in Madisonville on Dec 21. Loads of does and this spry feller 3 days later

4 and Rattle, that's the info I was looking for, thank yall. It's over an hour away for me just seems like I'd be going to wrong direction for what I want to accomplish.

For those of yall that live between Covington and Slidell, would you pay ~$1500 to hunt around there?

probably not. I am thinking about joining a buddies lease up around Franklinton for $1500. I think they have around 2000 acres between 6 members currently

I have property about 15 miles NE of franklinton. I'm in my stand right now. I do not have 100s or 1000s of acres, only 40 but it's just me and the wife hunting.
The woods I hunt is all locals and their property - no clubs. The locals shoot anything that walks. I try not to. We have only killed 1-2 deer per year. This is our 4th year hunting it. I constantly have only 4 bucks on camera and about 6 does but the deer here are very nocturnal due to the amount of locals shooting all day and constantly making noise addition to every thing else. I get a few different bucks on camera during the rut but it's all night time.
I don't hunt first light because we have never seen a deer before 8am. There is no pattern to the deer here, I think it's due to the amount of human intrusion.
I started hunting here bc it was family land but I'm starting to look other places because it is a 2.5 hour drive for me.
Da Hammer is from the area and is on a club here, he can speak from a hunting clubs view point.

My wife's cousin is from franklinton and he is on a club here not far from my property. He does better there than on his family land. I wouldn't join a lease unless it has some acreage to get away from the locals. I'm looking for a lease too, so if yall find one and need some members : seapickle09@gmail

What's the name of the lease you are talking about?
I'm also looking for info on timber companies
