What would be the going price for a lease in Brady with 150 acres. I understand that it can vary, just wanting to know some prices. Thanks

150 ac.s in the middle of large leases(1000ac.s) would be premium ...150 ac.s in the middle of small leases(20-100ac.s) I would not pay some of the prices that are now asked. However, if the premium area hunter density is one hunter per 30 acres I would not consider for any price. I don't know the price for premium leases with a hunter per 150 ac.s. Depends on your bank account..lol. The average price depends on where the lease is located. I'm a little tight ..however, I love to hunt..I don't know what would be the top price for me today.

IMO if it is for lease in this day and age it is not worth much or it would be leased right now.

The common landowner that has a smaller parcel like 150ac is likely going to advertise it for 2-3 hunters (believe it or not) and ask $2000 per gun - I would estimate $4000-$5000, minimum, for the Brady area.

At that rate it would be season-only access and have no water, elec or accommodations.

As absurd as that scenario sounds when I typed it out, it is what finally motivated me to buy my own place.

Don't know if this will help you or not, but I came across a couple hundred acres a few years back that the lady wanted to lease. 20 min door to gate from my house, right on the edge of the San Antonio metro area so proximity was about as good as you could want for being close.

She offered to lease it to me so I thought about it and offered her $12/acre for year round access which equated to $2400/year and I kept the property compliant for the Wildlife Exemption for taxes.


They way I figured it she could have leased it to a couple of guys from pretty much anywhere and doubled and tripled her money at least, but she was more than happy with the arraignment.

15 to 20 bucks an acre minimum is what he can get.

I could see 150 acres in Brady going for $2K-2.5K per gun for 2 guns or, $25-$30 per acre. Lots of critters in that area, not necessarily the biggest though.

As always ---------- what is around it? ------- no one seems to ever address that issue. 150 acres is useless if it is all 50 acre tracks around it. On the other hand if it borders a couple 1000 acre tracts it will probably have loads of game. How hunters can ignore this issue is beyond me. It should be the FIRST question asked, before discussing price.

I completely agree, if he is down to evalutaing a particular tract, but that is not the question he asked.

I suppose we could come up with dozens of due diligence points to consider, but I don't think he was asking about a 150 acre tract next to a TXDOT concrete batch plant that he was about to pull the trigger on just because it was a good price. I don't frequently see a herd of bumbling idiots with leases next to motorcross tracks on this forum complaining because they aren't seeing any deer.

I agree with all that is being said here and that it just all depends where the place is at and what it has around it.
I don't believe you will find anything that size though for less than $20/acre anymore.

If it has 50 acre tracks around it, your hunting where the worlds biggest dinosaur was walking.

If it’s 50 acre tracts, then depends entirely on hunting pressure.

The above mentioned 200 acre tract has a few 2 acre tracts, a 500 acre tract, a 30 acre tract and a 40 acre tract that adjoined it. Hunting is excellent and killing a mature deer is no issue.

Completely dependent on hunting pressure. Being surrounded by 1000 acre tracts where they hunt the piss out of it isn’t gonna be a better scenario than being surrounded by small unhunted properties

family leased 300 acres in Marble Falls last season - beautiful place - 4 guns total at $2500 a gun - had a large cabin on it with tons of brush, stands in place, a pond, and a year round creek running through it - all LF and we killed a 160 inch buck off of it - I thought it was a pretty fair deal

$25-$35 an acre for smaller decent hunting acreage including a cabin sounds about right to me. Nice buck off that size place too.

It was worth every penny Last guy we did not shoot

Wow.

smaller leases in desired areas are really hard to find these days. As others have mentioned, what area of the county and what types of properties are adjoining plus hunting pressure are all key questions. But in this day and age, something like that I could easily see going for $2000-2500 a gun for 3 to 4 hunters in that general area, $6000-10000 total lease.

If you got lucky and were dealing directly with the LO, you might get a better deal as they may only be looking to cover their property taxes plus a little bit more IF they like you (likely those deals can still happen although very rare). Could be more depending on amenities (cabin, water, elec., etc.)

a co-worker's family has a place NE from Brady, same group of hunters for likely over 30 years, less than $1000 a gun because the family liked the group and tries to keep them happy, plus they take care of the place & keep watch over the stock, fences, family, etc. I've been trying to talk my friend into leasing to me for at least 20 years but they said not for lease to anyone else as long as that same group stays.

hope you get lucky and get on for a reasonable price to you.

Show me the county map of all the surrounding land owners, with the size of their properties and I can tell you what it will lease for. Is that simple enough?

$500 to $20,000.... Everything is being broken up into small properties these days to have a campfire on and roast a weenie. We used to use public land for that....

So many variables. We leased a small 140 acre place east of San Angelo last year. Cabin, electric, and water. On the river and borderd by large ranch. Stands in place, year round access. We paid $4000 for the year total. Plenty of game. No huge deer killed, but a great get away.
