Lease My Land for Hunting

This article from the University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service explains what hunting leases are, how they can earn you income, and the importance of having a lease to address liability concerns.

Texas A&M Extension developed this hunting lease checklist of items to include in your hunting lease.

The Michigan Farm Bureau put together this example hunting lease as a guide. It pairs well with the checklist above. Note: even though this sample provides contract language, it’s always a good idea to have a lawyer look over your lease agreement before everyone signs.

Although you can lease land directly, it often helps to work through a leasing company that can help you find hunters, develop lease terms, and provide insurance coverage in case something goes wrong. Hunting Lease Network is an example of one of these leasing companies.
