For landowners

Your ground.Your terms.Your gate.

Finding someone who will pay to hunt your place has never been the hard part. Knowing who they are, what happens if something goes wrong, and whether the money actually arrives — that is the hard part. Settle those three and the rest is a calendar.

Three ways ground earns

Pick the arrangement that fits how you live on your land.

Most landowners end up running more than one — a club lease on the back tract, day access on the dove field, and the creek bottom kept for family.

Lowest effortMost predictable

Seasonal or annual lease

One club or one group holds the ground for the season. You are paid on a schedule, they absorb the booking risk, and you deal with one relationship rather than forty.

Day and weekend access

You keep the calendar. Individual hunters or small parties book specific days, which earns more per day than a lease and lets you keep the weekends you want.

Guided hunts on your ground

A registered outfitter runs the hunt; you provide the ground and take a share. The compliance load sits with the outfitter, which is where it legally belongs.

Ranges are published 2026 market guidance for the states we are opening in, not HunterPass quotes or guarantees. What your ground is worth depends on its cover, its neighbors, its improvements, and who else is bidding.

Market reality

What ground rents for, by state.

If you already lease, this is how to tell whether you are being paid what your ground is worth. If you don't yet, this is what it could be worth. Published 2026 market rates, by state.

The number most landowners leave on the table

Multi-species access, and the two weeks of the rut.

A deer-only lease at $10 an acre can be worth $18 to $22 leased for everything that walks and flies — dove, quail, hogs, turkey, and waterfowl are already on ground you hold, in seasons that do not overlap. And almost every lease in America sells its two most valuable weeks, the rut, at the flat seasonal average.

What you actually get

Nine things you would otherwise do by phone.

Set your terms once. From there, the calendar, the agreements, the approvals, and the money all run off the same record — and you can see every bit of it.

Property & tract setup

Boundaries, cover, species, improvements, and access notes for each tract — with exact location held back until you approve a hunter.

Access rules you set once

Dates, hours, party size, weapons, vehicles, dogs, guests, and which stands are in play. Written once, attached to every booking.

Approve or decline, per hunter

Every request arrives with verified identity, license, hunter education, and standing. Decline anyone, without a reason.

Calendars that respect the ground

Daily capacity, blocked dates, rest rotations, and stand-level limits — so nobody double-books and no area gets hunted flat.

Agreements and waivers

Access agreements and hunter waivers signed before access is granted, versioned, and attached to the specific hunt.

Payouts and tax records

Stripe Connect payouts on a fixed cycle with fees already deducted, and 1099 reporting from the same ledger.

Requests without phone tag

Inquiries arrive structured, with the dates and party already specified. Answer once, or set rules so most never reach you.

Harvest and pressure records

What was taken, where, and how hard each area was hunted — the inputs to next year's terms and next year's price.

Habitat work, logged

Plots, burns, and timber stand improvement recorded against the acres they happened on. Improvements you can prove are improvements you can charge for.

Getting started

What the first ninety days look like.

No listing goes live, and no hunter sees anything, until you have said yes at every step.

  1. A conversation, not a signup form

    Within 24 hours

    Acreage, state, what's on it, and what you want out of it. If we can't serve your region yet, you hear that on the first call instead of joining a list.

  2. We map the ground with you

    Week one

    Tracts, boundaries, stands, access points, and the parts you are keeping for yourself. Exact location is stored privately from the first minute.

  3. You set the terms

    Week one to two

    Which arrangement, which dates, what's allowed, what isn't, and what it costs. This is the document everything else hangs off.

  4. Legal and insurance gate

    Before anything opens

    Access agreement, hunter waiver, and coverage for your region. If any of it is open, nobody steps on your place — that is a rule we have committed to publicly.

  5. Access opens, on your calendar

    When you say

    A club takes the lease, or day access opens on the dates you chose. Every hunter is verified, approved by you, and signed before they arrive.

Landowner questions

What we get asked most

How much is my hunting land actually worth?

It depends on state, cover, and competition far more than on acreage. Georgia averages around $15 an acre with a real range of $2 to $35. Alabama runs $8 to $20. Mississippi is $8 to $25 outside the Delta, where river bottom reaches $30 to $50 and up. Texas spans $5 in the Pineywoods to $150 and beyond in South Texas. Improvements — food plots, roads, stands, lodging, processing — consistently add 30 to 50 percent over comparable bare ground.

Do I have to manage bookings myself?

No. If a club holds your lease, the club handles every booking, vets its own members, and manages its own calendar — you see what is happening without running it. If you take day access directly, you set the rules once and approve requests as they arrive, which for most landowners is a few minutes a week.

What if I only want to lease part of my ground?

That is the normal case. Properties are set up as tracts, and each tract carries its own terms, calendar, and access rules. Lease the back four hundred to a club, keep the creek bottom for your family, and open the dove field for day access in September — all on the same property.

Can I keep hunting my own land?

Always, and without asking anyone. The one request is that you book the days you will be out so daily capacity stays accurate for anyone else with access. It is one tap, and it is the same mechanism that stops two people arriving at the same stand.

What about liability and insurance?

It is the most important question on the site, so it has its own page rather than a paragraph here. The short version: most states' recreational-use immunity weakens or disappears once you charge a fee, insurance is a gate we hold ourselves to before any region opens, and it is not bound yet. The trust center says all of that in full.

I already have a club I trust. Why would I change anything?

Then keep them — that relationship is the asset, not the thing to replace. What changes is the paperwork underneath it: dues collected on time, waivers signed before anyone is on the ground, the lease and its renewal date somewhere other than a filing cabinet, and a record of what was harvested. We are the system under the arrangement, not a broker inserting itself into it.
