That's a good price for a five year hunting lease.

That is flat out awesome. Congrats!
All she wanted was the cost of property tax. My brother had done some selective logging for her in 2009 and she was impressed with how well he did bookkeeping and that he didn't try to cheat her.
I will be helping her when I see things that need done.

That sounds ideal.
You had better check for stands.
Best of luck.

She said she was the only person who hunted it for years. She is about 70 and had hip surgery a few years back. There is supposed to be a lot of turkey on it, but I have never tried turkey hunting.

Congrats! Treat it like it's your own and you'll probably get invited back when the lease is up. Maybe gift her some game meat, if that's legal in your state.

Congrats
You'll be buying blinds, decoys, and calls.
But it's all good. Turkey season is a great time to be in the woods. The weather is warm, and spring is in the air.
I have a call that my brother gave me. I think the turkey would laugh itself to death if I tried using it.

...and the ticks are out in full force...
That's one reason I like a healthy opossum population. They eat thousands of them pesky bloodsuckers every year.

Don't take much to call turkeys. I know of folks that use nuttin' but simple to use push button calls.
......and since turkeys don't have a sense of smell, one can douse themselves with repellent without fear of spooking them.

If your brother gets that land, I’d most HIGHLY suggest looking at deer habitat videos on YouTube. You could have awesome hunting for a long time.
I’ve deer hunted for over fifty years. I’d much rather turkey hunt. Again, you can do habitat enhancement that favors both deer and turkeys.
If you have control of that much land, you should have record book deer in your land every year assuming it’s managed properly and it has potential buck bedding areas. We’ve taken three record book deer off my brother’s farm, and it’s not managed for deer. We don’t shoot anything we won’t pay to put in the wall, 140 class or better. If you kill all the little ones, you never have big ones

We primarily shoot antlerless and cull bucks. I'm hoping it pays off in a few years.
I watched a few of them, but YouTube send to be overloaded with sales pitches.
And THIS is the way to keep up a good relation with a landowner.

That's about $5 per acre per year which is reasonable. Install a corn feeder in the most secluded spot and put corn in it at least once a month throughout the year. Don't target practice on the property and don't shoot the doe because they are the bait for the bucks. Tame doe make for good buck hunting. It's not what you do just before hunting season it's what you do all year long.
I don't feed deer besides food plots and several mineral blocks.
I live 300 miles away from it so no target practicing.

That's awesome for that kind of acreage. Congratulations, I hope you kill a monster!

Land owners like to lease hunting rights to hunters who live 300 miles away because it take away the problems that happen when they lease to someone local.
I will only get out here once a month except deer season. I will be walking the property on Saturday. My main goal is 4 tags per year. If one is a buck, it's a bonus. Between that, rabbits, fish and a couple pigs, I don't buy much meat.

Better yet buy a Thermacell. It allowed me to start turkey hunting again along with early season bowhunting. It makes it enjoyable rather than miserable.
