Neb, I'm no expert by any means, but my personal take on this is it depends on many factors. One is potential for big bucks to be taken, size of parcel to some degree, location, type of cover- (can it hold deer without them having to leave the property i.e. does it have bedding areas as well as ample food areas and water?) and a big one to me is if it is being grazed by cattle or not and how much. I had a guy once try to lease me a pasture.... not in a bad "area" of the county, but when I got there, there wasn't much if any cover left as he seriously over-grazed the place. It was near bare. Wasn't worth a nickel to me in that condition. Like I said, for me it's a personal preference, but I would think maybe $5 to $10 per acre isn't bad, with premium places being premium prices.
Speaking of which, if anyone runs into a nice lease down near Durant, Atoka up to near McAlester, please let me know. Or close to home for me would be Carter or Love county area and around Texoma.
Good luck Neb.
