Rabbit Hunting on Private Land in Greenbrier County, West Virginia

LandTrust is an online marketplace for booking private land hunting access. Farmers, ranchers, and other landowners list their property and set their own packages, prices, and dates. Hunters book exclusive access for anything from a single day to about a week, without needing to know a landowner or sign a year-long lease.

Search by state, county, or species, compare properties and packages, and pick your dates. You pay when you book. During your trip, you and your party have exclusive access to the entire property.

Start with your state or county on LandTrust to see private land you can book nearby, then narrow by species, weapon type, and dates. Each listing shows the game on the property, the packages offered, and the price, so you can compare before you book.

With a traditional hunting lease, you usually pay up front for a full season or year, often splitting the cost and the property with a hunting club. On LandTrust you book by the trip instead: pick only the dates you want, have the whole property to your group, and skip the year-long commitment. That makes it easier to hunt more places, and new places, without tying your budget to a single lease.

LandTrust mostly handles short trips, from a single day up to about a week. Some landowners list monthly, seasonal, or annual lease packages that you can book like any other package. If a property you like doesn’t list one, message the landowner from the listing to ask. Some will arrange a longer lease case by case.

About 8 in 10 U.S. hunters hunt private land, and there’s roughly three times as much private land as public land. Hunting private land means less pressure and more opportunity. Paying for access gives farmers and ranchers income to keep good habitat, which helps keep working land from being split up and developed. If it pays, it stays.
