GUEST HUNTING LEASES
 
Social Leases: Leases for preserve access are called social leases. Guests wishing to use the preserve primarily for summer activities like dog training, for short hunting stays, to take wing-shooting lessons and shoot Sporting Clays or join our continental shoots get social leases in order to participate and make reservations. Social leases pay a higher cost per hunting activity than hunting, wild wings, and corporate leaseholders. The fees are indicated on our schedule. All social leases have 6 rounds of sporting clays on our green course pre-paid. In addition they pay leaseholders rather than true guest rates on additional Sporting Clays rounds after the first 6. This makes the hunting lease very affordable for those wishing to shoot sporting clays at Whaleback.
 
Social leaseholders may also purchase Put and Take Pheasants, Chukar Partridge and at higher prices than our Hunting, Wild Wings, or Corporate Upland leases.
 
The fee for social leases now is $200 if paid by Aprill 30thth 2003, there after $250 per year in 2003, 2004, & 2005. No Pro-rata is available on the social lease. Those upgrading to full hunting leases receive credit of the Social Lease payment against the up-front lease fee.
 
Guests
 
Guests are most welcome for non-hunting activities, but must be accompanied by a Leaseholder to visit. Contact us at the office to make an appointment for a Preserve tour for your family or friends. All Guests are considered in the leaseholder’s care at the time they visit and the leaseholder is responsible for any fee costs that their guest may incur.
