Jason, due to potential liabilities from injury, etc I doubt that a corporation would allow it. There is very little upside for them.
I guess its worth a shot. There are lots of big corporations that own timberland around me that lease their land for $8-12/acre for hunting purposes. Do you think that a pond is higher risk than putting 5 rednecks on 100 acres of land?
They generally make you carry a hunters/sportsman's liability insurance to reduce or eliminate their risk. When I make contact I will probably offer to buy insurance. Thanks for pointing that out.
I guess in the absence of any reference points I'll just start with 2 or 3 times the hunting lease rates and try to offer as much incentive as possible....improving fishery(they probably don't care), mowing banks, etc....
