Huntier Guide
—Huntier is a hosting platform between landowners and hunters. It is a “virtual handshake” between the landowner and the hunter, sportsman, or birdwatcher. Huntier is the new frontier for hunting and all things outdoors.
What is a hunting or land lease?—A hunting or land lease is an agreement between the lessor (landowner) and a lessee (hunter) that allows the hunter to hunt on a defined land for a specified time period.
Types of leases—There are many types of lease formats available including species specific and time periods (daily, weekly, seasonally, yearly). With Huntier, the landowner, has complete control of the time period(s) that the land is open for hunting as well as the species that are available to hunt. For example, land can be set up for lease of duck and goose hunting while protecting your upland and deer populations.
Average hunting lease cost—The leasing price varies based on game available, exclusivity, acreage, additional amenities (such as availability of duck blinds, decoys, hunting dog use, camping grounds, availability of private guiding services, etc.). Average cost ranges between $10-$50/acre per hunting season. For example, 1 section (640 acres) would net $6,400 for exclusive rights for the duck hunting season (at minimum). You could expect a higher income with implementation of above-noted amenities. For single day leasing, the recommendation would be between $50-$100/day for waterfowl, $100+/day for pheasant hunting, etc.

If you have multiple sections available, your potential income could be much higher.
7. Do I need to be present during the hunt?—No, you are not required to be present for the booking. The hunters will be given GPS coordinates to the property. Once a property is booked, a secure in-application messaging system will allow you to communicate with the hunter directly (without giving out your personal cell number) to provide them with any additional instructions.
