I hunt some free places also and I hunt places that I lease. Anything free is great but I don't have a problem paying to hunt. I just like to hunt something different each time I hunt and not burn the places out. My pup [Sally] says she prefers places that have shade and a tank to cool off in.
Good points sallysue , I've got a place to hunt for free in Royce City with my X boss ! Heck I remember back in the 70's & 80's while growing up in San Antiono as we would pay $10 for day hunts & others fields for free !
We use to pay $125 for a one field lease in Hamilton from 2000-2005 but the land owner would not plow or plant, dove where hit and miss & it would burn out quickly.We still had some great times there with Jeff and lots of friends but we depended on the tanks to produce mostly!
Started networkin with texas hunting friends and found out about a $200 lease with 6-7 differnet fields near Graham, Olney, Woodson, etc with sunflower thanks to my friend Brent 
We Just love it now so I Figured I'd share it with folks on here as some like it & want more info, and some don't!

Dove hunting has always been the icing on the cake for us. We have a couple different species of dove, mourning, white wing and a species with a black ring around their neck and big like a pidgeon. Nothing better than fresh dove on the grill wrapped in bacon and jalepenos. We have dove year round they nest here.

One thing's for sure........get ready to pony up a lot more for ammo. It's up to about $6 per box now for the cheapest shells AND there's another increase coming in September. If you're one of those 'five shells per bird' boys this is going to get expensive.

There are quail, there are bird dogs, there are shotguns. It's too perfect to be random.

Yup I heard the same thing about the increase.
I guess it's a good thing I still have a couple of cases from last year.

I still have plenty of dove loads from last year.
If they are around $4 in August I'll buy a case. They are usually pretty competitively priced then because of the volume that they have purchased.

I called the sale last year and it never happened. Two years ago their sale was $2.89 a box. Last year it was $3.89 at the lowest. Now the regular price is $5.99! $3.89 was the regular price last year.

Awesome sounding place. BTW where is this and do you have the contact info or web site???? 200 bucks is just unheard of, in todays cut throat dove hunting world. You really need to put this on the outfitters and guides forum if there is openings
