Deer Lease < $ 1000.00 - $ 2500.00 .. Poll - 12/05/07 09:40 PM

Just wanted to know a few things from you Hunters, So please answer my Poll. From what i can tell everybody wants a Deer Hunting Lease for $ 1000.00 but i have joined "The Hunting Pages" and "The Texas Lease Connection" and ther seems to be no such Lease.and ya'll laugh at the guy's who post for a lease for $ 1000.00.and tell them no way!!
How Much are you really paying ( not what you tell your wife )
How many acers do you have ?
How many hunters on the place ?
Do you have a Cabin on it , Water , Ele. ?
How many years on the place ?
How much was it when you first got on?
What county is it in ?
What have you Killed on it? ( post pictures )
Does the land owners friends & family hunt it too ?

Now that you have my questions i will go first !!

I pay $ 3200.00 for a season .
We have 1800 acers
we have 12 Hunters
We have a cabin ( central air/heat , full kitchen, shower , and sat tv. )
It is in Medina County
We have had it 3 years
* * Along with the 12 PAID Hunters we have the landowners Family hunting and the Drunkin ranch mgr and his drunk kids hunting ) I am getting tired of it.It is not part of our agreement.But i do not mind paying extra for the aminities.

Thanks

well i dont have a lease but used to lease our ranch out and this was what it leased for 600 per gun max 3 guns, we didnt mind if your wife or children hunted with u... it was 100+ acres on the jim wells duval county line, all stands were already on property and maintained, feeders where on property and in good working conditions, ( we filled them up before season and hunters took care after that) we planted oats and wheat and peas on 25 acres of it for our cattle after hunting season, had 2 ponds, caliche roads that were well maintained, water , electricty, and a 40 X 60 paviliaon where u parked your campers around, that was coverd and had cement slab underneath with wall on north side to block wind, also had small bunkhouse with kitchen and full bath.......... all hunting regulated by state of texas, good working hog trapps that they could use, year around lease, that means had it for dove, turkey, deer, quail, and what ever else they wanted to hunt ,,,, i one spot reserved for me but if they were hunting we had a deal they would put a flag on gate and if it was there i would go back home with out entering so not to mess there hunt up.........thats bout it..

I did a poll a while back and for the most part everyone that replied paid less than $1,500 a gun. Basically it is who you know if you want a good lease or another means besides the lease subscriber services. Those ads seem really crazy for what you get.

My old lease was $1,250 to $1,500 a gun less than 2 hours from DFW. You got 80 to 120 acres a gun and camp with water and electricity. Still same price this year.

750 Acres Gillespie/Kimble Counties(split the land)
5 hunters - at $1000/gun
5 deer limit - 3 bucks & 2 antlerless, turkeys and all other game. Year round
Cabin, electricity, water all paid

Landowners and their relatives do not hunt the land but a small tract across the Hwy only. That is in our agreement. Great folks and have had the lease since 79...back then it was $500/gun.

Best deer has been a 12pt w/23" inside spread scored 172 back in 2005.

Several large 8s-10s with 19-20" inside spread...we feed year round protein except for Aug-Jan.

Re: Deer Lease < $ 1000.00 - $ 2500.00 .. Poll - 12/08/07 03:58 AM

I have a family lease of 100 acres in Young County, 2 blinds, 2 food plots totalling 20 acres, a stocked tank (bass & catfish), year round access. It is mainly just me and my oldest son, could also hunt my younger son when he's a bit older. The landowner hunts opening weekend with me and his uncle who grazes cattle there hunts around Thanksgiving in payment for planting the food plots. I pay $1500.

It is my first year on this place. My boy took his first deer - a forkhorn opening morning. I mistook a spike for a doe the week of Thanksgiving so we've both filled out buck tags. These are the only 2 deer we've seen and I've hunted every weekend except for Thangsiving weekend. There are plenty of deer there showing up on the cameras at night, and plenty of hogs. I found it through posting a Want to lease add on Craigslist.

I might let it go after this year though. I've gotten to know 2 hunters that stay at the hotel in Graham where I stay. They've been on the same lease for 10 years - 450 acres outside of Graham, they usually have 4 hunters and have an opening. There are 2 of them plus one other hunter who has not even hunted this year. They invited me to join and I probably will. Families are allowed so I could still bring my boys. They allow you to hunt in one anothers blind - just leave it as you found it. That gives me access to more land at cheaper price (less than $1000). And allows me to go from a place that you pull the deer in and get transient deer to one that can hold them - awesome terrain too, a prominent mesa with the deer bedding down on the sides of the mesa.

I had the same thing in Hamilton county. The acreage wasn't big, the deer population was good and we had been letting some of the deer grow for 5 years and starting to see some good ones. The biggest buck killed there was killed by the land owners drunken buddy. The land owner kept increasing the off limits "family area" of the lease and hunting in our blinds too leaving the beer cans and cigarette butts for us to clean up. He went up on price and we left, not because it was too much to pay for the quality of the hunting, but too much to pay for that a-holes crap. He even would come into our trailers and take food. I would advise you to leave 'cause for that money you can do much better. BTW, when you find a good place, call me, I'm still looking.

Allready has 3 stands and feeders setup, with a mobile home to stay in. Not been hunted in a few years, noone hunting on properties directly around it either. Lots of wild life with a fishing pond, that has deer coming to it to drink while fishing it in the summer. I sure hope this deals works out !!

Hunt 4400 acre high fence for does, spikes, and fork horns. Light on the pocketbook at $0. Get to see some HUGE bucks on regular basis (huge to me--130's and 140's common). Coolest part of getting to hunt is just to see the big dudes. Stephenville area

Bowhunt 55 acres in Menard between me and my dad. I've taken 4 deer and a turkey with a bow and 1 8 pt. with rifle. $0.

Who knows though...landowner of high fence place may ask me next year to cull an older deer that doesn't make 130. Their culls are my trophies!

I have a place in east Texas, 120 acres that is free. I have helped the owner out with some fencing and caring for animals. Biggest expense is the gas to drive out there. Seeing lots of does, few small bucks (none so far outside AR rules), and the occassional road hunter drive by. Thank goodness for the rains, as it keeps them away from the huntinf area, road gets slick and ugly to manage then.

I guess I win the idiot award so far. Mason county first and last year 07/08. 200 acres, 150 huntable ( due to 50 around her house off limits ). 4 guns at 1450.00 each. Small block cabin with electricity, has water 50 feet from cabin. Buddy paid 2000.00 so his daughter could hunt, I got another friend to pay 1000.00 at the last minute. I pais 2800.00. It was the landowner from hell, she stole our toilet paper and paper towels. We went down before season and spent two days cutting tree limbs and mesquite away from all the ranch roads ( she wanted to charge us to stay in the " accomodations" since it wasn't deer season. Yeah right we did all that free labor for her as a favor. Alot more to tell, but this year was our last there. So we're looking again for 08/09.

Re: Deer Lease &amp;lt; $ 1000.00 - $ 2500.00 .. Poll - 01/07/08 01:15 PM

We also built 3 80' diameter feeder pens that we left. There were 15 cows on the place when we looked at it by the season start there were about 40 and 10 or 12 angora goats. We killed 5 bucks and 3 does between the four people that hunted, all were typical Mason county deer. Alot of rain put some good weight on them though.

well we pay $1000 to hunt the lease we are on
its about 1300 ac with elec. no runnig water but we do have a wind mill
we have 10 hunters and the rancher has about 200+ ac around his place that he hunts
your wife and your kid can only hunt with you if the kid is under 18 on are lease and no guest during any seasons
we have been on this lease for about 11 years and we have taken some nice bucks off of it. the first few years we didn't see much but now they are getting better. the best buck taken off was a 150 class buck,but the rancher found a skull that was a nice 12 that was 175 class.
if you want a $1000 lease you have to find one that doesn't have much on it like elec.,water,and a cabin.

920 Acres, 4 guns, $7000 for all year ($1750 gun). Stephens county, Level 3 MLD. We get 4 mature bucks, every spike we see, and doe harvest is set by TPWD for the entire ranch in September. We usually are supposed to take between 4 and 8 does each year. We do have an old house and electricity, but the house aint much.

There is an alternative to high lease prices.

71.5 acres in Montague County, about 1.5 hours from the metromess. Currently, the drunken landowner (that would be me)has decided to part with one of his places.For a cool $200K, you can do just as you please. Lots of deer but none actually shot off the place in the last 7 or 8 years. I also own the place next door. A couple of idiots, RICK O' SHAY and his BIL Del, sometimes come by and stay up all night acting as scarecrows to keep the hogs away from the stock tanks, feeders and creek.

Has about a 10 acre food plot that I always plant so the nocturnal deer and hogs can eat well.

Halfass barn and bass and bluegill in the 3/4 acre stock tank.

OK, getting serious; it's a neat place. However, I just turned 65 and am pulling back on some stuff.
