Built by a local hunter, for our local community

My name is Casey Cutshall, and HuntLease.co wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born in a tree stand, right here in the rolling hills of Frederick County, Maryland.

Like many of you, I've spent my life chasing whitetails and wild turkeys through our local woods and fields. I've experienced the thrill of a crisp November morning, and the frustration of seeing "No Trespassing" signs on land that used to be open to a handshake agreement.

For years I saw the disconnect. On one side, dedicated, respectful hunters struggling to find a safe, private place to enjoy the season and make memories. On the other, landowners with beautiful, under-utilised properties who are hesitant to lease — worried about the hassle, the liability, or dealing with people they don't know.

The big national websites didn't help. They felt like impersonal, overwhelming databases, more like a cattle call than a community. I knew there had to be a better way: one built on trust, direct connection and local knowledge.

What we are trying to be

The mission is simple: the most trusted, direct and straightforward way for landowners and hunters in our region to connect.

For landowners

A completely free, easy-to-use place to list your property. You should keep 100% of your lease profit, so we take no fees and no commissions. More importantly, you should be in complete control — communicating directly with the people who want to be on your land.

For hunters

A curated collection of local leases rather than a giant database of unverified listings. Somewhere you can find your own private spot and deal with landowners who value respectful stewardship.

This is more than a business to me. It's about strengthening our local hunting heritage, supporting our landowners, and making sure the next generation has the same chance to connect with the outdoors that we did.

Whether you own a five-acre woodlot or a hundred-acre farm, or you're a hunter looking for your next season, I'm glad you're here.
