I've talked to a couple of great guys on here that have contacted me about this thread, and I've got a couple of feelers out, but nothing "fitting like a glove" just yet. Thanks for bumping it up fellas. It's nothing that has to happen, this year or the next, but it doesn't hurt to keep searching.

What’s wrong with Panhandle?
I would also consider the right MLD Texas MD lease for 10k.

Pitchfork is a better WT lease than Mule deer. Not a historical high producing mulie ranch.

Bobo, I asked what was wrong with "Panhandle" not "Pitchfork". You had mentioned Transpecos but not Panhandle.

Sorry, I have a ranch in Panhandle, and have mule deer, just seldom have any thing over 165. Transpecos has ranches that are consistent 190+ producers w/ much higher densities. There are a few ranches in the panhandle that have a very special situation where they are a winter/rut destination for protected mule deer herds, such as Dkerson charity hunt

Id entertain sandhill areas also

'Thought I had a lead on a place in true, No Country For Old Men country. But, if my friend on here didn't misquote the acreage, it sounds postage-stamp size for out there and, I doubt the land manager contact will ever get back with me. Interesting history though of a place that it looks like someone thought they'd try to create another Luckenbach...in the middle of nowhere.

Creekrunner, if it's No Country For Old Men country, I think you should throw any suitcases of money you find in the nearest river. Don't want to meet Anton Chigura!

Creek, did you see the one listed in Panhandle? both MD & WT ... (probably a silly question)

If I’m gonna pay $10k for a muley and have to drive to the panhandle I’m just gonna keep going another couple hours and go to Colorado or New Mexico

That’s the trade off on a mule deer lease. At some point the cost factor on a lease vs. a package hunt has to be considered since the season is so short.

Its not short if its MLD.

True, but I can’t ever remember seeing a mule deer lease offered that was MLD. I’m sure they do exist.

Most of the mule deer properties I’ve seen were either hunted by friends and family or the hunting was spoken for by an outfitter.

Good, consistent mule deer hunting in Texas is very hard to come by. It takes a combination of proper location, habitat, and hunting pressure/managment.

Maybe if you look in the classifieds in the mule deer foundation publication you will find some ads.

One can only imagine what kind of information is packed inside those pages….i wouldn’t know though….

Nor I. TWA hired that old goober, by the way.

Ill see him at the next TWA conference handing out pamphlets on CWD…

Again, prefer mule deer only country.
