A few years ago there was a camp with two buggys in the Cypress that sold for $75k I believe. I'm still kicking myself for that one but money wasnt there at the time.
I remember that. I had someone who knew 3 guys that were buying a camp for $80,000 that wanted one more guy for $20,000 ask me if I wanted in. At the time I had about a dozen different contractors going belly up on me. He called me every other day for a week. I thought long and hard but decided with the economy crashing around me that I needed to keep my cash handy. I really screwed up. When I hunt the Cypress I'm always close to that piece and regret not getting in.
$8,000 is a lot of change to plop down in one lump sum. I figured I'd look for something in the 4-6000 range if I was gonna do it. For me it would have to be 2 hrs or less. If I had to drive 3 or more it would defeat the purpose. My last lease in Florida was 5 1/2 hrs from home and only cost $1,300 I think.

Living so far south, can you make it out of Broward in 2 hours :devil j/k
2 hours from Homestead will get you to maybe Ft. Myers on the west cost, Immokalee on the northwest and Ft. Pierce on the east coast... and Okeechobee. I'm not sure how much choices you'll have in that area.
There's lots of choices. Trust me everyone is looking for a lease.
M12gunboy,
please go to Ga and hunt ,I have seen hunters bring in 90lb deer in Ga and north Fl leases
I know that I am not the cheapest lease at $6600.00 a year,but we have 4000 acres next to a game preserve,
800 pd ice machine, 10X16 walk-in cooler, covered and lighted skinning area, 150 yard shooting range,
30 and 50 amp camper plugs, deep well with a water softner,hog hunting all year,wife and kids are not considered as guests, three treestand and feeders per member, you can bring 2 extra guests at any time, we dont hunt with dogs
like leases in Ga and North FL
I could go on and on about this lease but the best part of this lease is that is only 50 minutes from my house
to the front door of my camper
M12gunboy I dont want to start a pissing match with you, me being a new member here but, I might pay more
for my lease but I know that I got a heck of a better deal
Btw you might want to check your figures I do believe you are slightly off (BY A LOT)
I also see a lot of leases thruout florida that are very costly and some are reasonable ,so if you dont like the price
go elsewhere instead of trying to rundown the lease cause you think it is expensive
BTW with the nice attitude that you have ,I think that the interview for this hunt club would last 30 seconds before I told you go back to GA hunting we dont need a member like you
