$2100 / Gun

OK sportsfans, we are losing some members due to economy issues and need to fill these spots for the coming year. Would like to give all spots to one group but willing to split if necessary.

Lease Details: 23 members total w/ guest priveledges, 3 bedroom nice camp house w/ full kitch, ele, H2O, bathroom, 2800 lb flake ice machine. 12 miles off paved road through 5 gates approx 20mi NW of dwn twn Uvalde, 1 trophy buck and 1 cull and 2 does per year, lots of hogs and turkeys, Full access during Deer & turkey season w/limited off season access, Rugged, rocky, mesas & canyons, cedar & mesquite infested terraine best suited for atv access, cows are the only managed livestock on property, some exotics, good group of members , large lie tellin fire pit, occasional squabbles over the definition of a cull buck as well as how to manage lease in general, $2100 / yr no splitting fees. My opinion from the last ten years of hunting this ranch is that we have up to 140 class Max deer. Property is remote(just the way I like it) but very comfortable with most every ammenity required to grab two big handfulls of the great outdoors during the morning and afternoon hunts, , cut, clean and cooler your game, enjoy stories of great chase around a 6’ firepit,eat a hot meal, hot shower and get a great nights sleep in a warm bed (earplugs not included). Trailers welcome as this is where I and most members lodge during our stays. Very few (six that I know of) members use the house for anything more than the full kitchen.


Our rut is usually at the end of Nov / the beginning of December.

What we are looking for in new members:
Real Hunters (NOT Killers) that will commit to helping us growing a better deer herd.
Adults who know how to pick up after their selves and will commit to completing camp projects / maintenance on their own initiative.
No Jekyl & Hyde Complex - people behave just fine in their home communities yet morph into Pancho Villa type egotists once they get a beer and a gun in their hands. Pmt of lease fees do not provide land ownership status.
People who know how to tell time and commit to follow 25 mph speed limit on 12 mi incoming road that neighbor spent 400K to improve - will not drive in to lease and upset neighboring ranch hunters during deer season morning and afternoon hunt times.
People who in general know what constitutes a cull buck.(incidently it is not a 2 y/o 8pt w/ a 16“ spread unless it is missing two of its legs and in the process of attacking your child).

Sorry to be so blunt as I know that there are some real decent folks out there. We need to fill these spots for the 2012/13 season w/good ethical hunters. I will be showing this lease in March & April. I must meet candidates in person at the lease to make sure this venture will be a good fit for all. Applicants are welcome to spend the night (dont worry we have a/c) and consume adult bevereges during your visit so we can get a better idea of how prone you are to the Hyde complex.

Just wondering why people keep getting off of this place. You ran the same ad last year? It looks to be an amazing piece of property at a good price.

Very long drive for most who live in Houston area and work a 9-5 Mon - Fri work week. Personally speaking, I wouldn't want this lease either if I could not committ to min 3 day visits.

Let it be known that I do not want any of my members closer than 200 mi from the lease. This is our effort to cut down on various forms of lease abuse that we have seen from past members who live in SA and closer. Not that they represent undesirable people or anything other than ethical hunters as a whole, just playing the odds.

Any 23 member lease is going to have turnover for one reason or another. But even more importantly than the 4 I lost, I kept 18 and I would never leave unless forced to do so.

We have a camp Meeting coming up on the weekend of March 3rd. Why don't you come out and ask my members yourself.

How many acres? Read the whole thing, dont think I missed it??

What are the rules for any Exoctics seen..And limited access during summer does that mean we cant go at all..

Sounds like a pretty good deal, but this quote interest me...I get the feeling that you don't want someone that can go more than the "average" hunter by that statement. Can people go whenever they want and stay as long as they want? The OP says the hunter will have full access. Does that mean that someone could stay for 2 weeks straight?



X2 on the acreage

Is there a feed program in place since its sounds like most members live a good distance away. Is there a local feed store/ person ranch that comes and fills feeders and protein?

Are kids, age 11, welcome? If so I would image they hunt off members tag.

Where is the located? So that I can look at it on google maps.

I am mainly interested in Axis is there alot there?

i'd be interested but i live like 35 miles away... rules

--Nice..

These lease poposting get better and better every year. So this one you have to live aleast three hours away because you might hunt to much.....LOL?????

New to this forum. Just sent PM.

Yeah, I was very interested but fell victim to discrimination being a Sanantonian. I'm a Texans fan, does that help?

Looks like I have generated a few questions...

1) This is a family lease so all immediate family members welcome however, must keep up with your own kids, wife, guests etc.

2) I don't care how long you spend at the lease (1 day or 4 wks at a time ok w/me) I just don't want anyone having an easier journey to lease than other members or mgmt. / or people like 7mag or danny871.

I could be dishonest and let people who live close to the lease waste time inquiring and looking at it only to deny their access once they have already made this investment but I don't think that is fair. I don't want to waste anyones time. Fact is that it is my responsibillity to my members to manage it in a way that is best and avoid past mistakes. Allowing those who live next door to the property opens the door for abuse and I don't want to gamble on that possibillity if I dont have to.

3) Full lease access Sept 1 - Feb & all of spring Turkey season, 1st wknd only all other months.

4) 6450 acs total

5) No limit or fees on exotics.

6) Most members feed year around, some protein feed however, feed programs are an issue that I put up for a member vote on a yearly basis and to this date we do not have a majority vote to implement one.

I sent you a email and I can fill all 5 spots just let me know for Shure when you know everything for shure and I'll come see it and get you a check for all the spots thanks

Shure? Do you work for a radio company, and youre thowing out the plug?
