Wonder what a deer like that would cost?

Hi Jonathan and welcome!

I've been told LBJ Grasslands is probably the best place near Dallas to hunt for turkey, as several of the guys that visit this board have done so.  But, since Texas doesn't have a lot of public land (90+% of Texas is privately owned) the hunting can be a challenge.  Texas Parks and Wildlife also has draw hunts, but these may be too far for you to travel.

not to late to start. bucks still have there antlers and does have yet to start haveing fawns. mummies makes a apple flavor protien feed that i use and it does make the deer look better in the winter but i feed it year around with corn. also if there are no apple trees you may want to try tieing some cheep apple  to trees the week befor and the days you hunt deer love them and will hang around more

220, the price for the lease is $2,500.00 for each hunter, w/guest allowed with restrictions. We have both water and electric w/ the bill for the electric split evenly between all paid hunters after season. I did not hunt this lease last season because dad and I had some differences with the lease manager. I have talked with the land owner and he has told me that he is removing them due to the fact they would not abide by the lease rules and other reasons. I have hunter this lease for 4 yrs and it has plenty of game. I have seen at least 2 trophy class bucks each year that I hunted there. I need 10 hunters to lease this place and have until April to give the land owner the 50% deposit for it. If you are interested please call  or e-mail me and we can visit and I can send you a copy of the lease rules. (Mostly common sense ). You can also find more info on this lease in the guides and lease section of this web site under Crockett county lease. e-mail address ----------mekrto @hotmail.com / phone # 817-475-9723 thanks William

It's one of the better public land spots, definitely need to spot and stalk - you would be wasting your time posting.  The ATV side gets a lot of traffic from both the hog hunters and duck hunters, although, like anything else, if you're willing to walk further than the crowds you can find some "less" pressured hogs.  They move around alot on the property so try to concentrate around the bamboo patches and along the river sleuths.  Use satelitte imagery to plan your hunt and be sure to hunt into the wind, or you will be wasting your time.

Good luck
