How to Lease Hunting Land in Alabama

Learn how to lease hunting land in Alabama.

Hunting is popular in Alabama, and many private and corporate land owners profit from selling or leasing their land to hunters and hunting clubs. Public land normally has many land-use and hunter restrictions. Some of the same restrictions can apply to private land, but if you hunt on privately owned land you're likely to see fewer other hunters and more game. When searching for hunting land to lease, inquire about restrictions in and out of the hunting season. You might want to use the land for camping or other outdoor activities at other times.

Instructions

1. Choose an area in Alabama where you would like to find hunting land for lease. Your hunting preference should dictate where you want to look for the land. You can find deer hunting all over the state. Boar and duck hunting is generally found in the western to southern regions of the state.

2. Look for local resources to locate hunting land for lease in the chosen region. Search online or in the yellow pages to locate local hunting clubs in the region. Hunting organizations typically have a lease agreement with a landowner, and can direct you towards available hunting land elsewhere in the region.

3. Ask about leasing land with Alabama hunting outfitters. Outfitters and sporting goods stores usually have land directories showing available acreage for lease. They also have bulletin boards with contact information for landowners leasing their land. And if you know other hunters in your area, ask them about leasing hunting land.

4. Conduct an Internet search for Alabama hunting land for lease. Among the resources available online is the Alabama Forest Owners Association, which has listings of hunting land for lease.

5. Check the North American Land Network website and reference Alabama for listings of hunting land for lease and for sale in the state.
