I am afraid that I will not be able to get the hunters needed for this lease. People as well as myself just don't have the spare money's to spend on the place. We will just have to wait and see, I have until April to get the hunters required, one can only hope.

Brent,

You have a certain area your looking for?

I have a 4,200 acre lease in Crockett county near Ozona, Texas and am looking for 10 management minded hunters for a long term year round lease. Please contact me if you are interested. Thanks William ----( e-mail /  mekrto@hotmail.com )

Where's the lease at and how many acres?

STB,

There are quite a few of them out there due to the refuge and other ranches out there.  I was looking at a lease out there last year but guy turned out to be a scammer.  I here that alfalfa is good attractant.  Also if there is a lot of huisache the nilgai love that stuff too.

I won't get a chance to go before Thanksgiving...gotta work for a living.

Hate to hear your year's been tough William.  Unfortunately its been a booger of a year for a number of people...hope it improves for you.  The weather by your old lease by Sonora has been dry as a bone, so the hunting isn't going to be too good this year anyway.  We're going, but really don't expect much.

Steve, I've been to Brady many times, and the deer out there can be thick as flies.  Its also the place where I saw the biggest buck I've ever seen on the hoof about 5 miles north of there on Hwy 283.  The rut ought to be pretty close on Thanksgiving...you never know what you'll see!

i have been hunting in the same spot for a couple years on about 500 acres, last year next to are lease they started putting up a high fence right at the beginning of bow season and completed by gun season. we where dreading the gun hunt season thinking they locked up all the deer, but susprising we saw more deer than usuall. the deer turn the high fence into a road path to follow, we saw deer walking the fence ever time we pulled into the pasture. so for us its enhanced our huntting by watching them walk the fence, then coming into are feeders.

I was 18 in 1969. Oh and we had a family deer lease near sheffield Texas-----Year round hunting and fishing (About 15miles of Pecos River) 21 sections to hunt at the staggering cost of $37.75 per family per year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How times have changed. At that time us kids would go for the weekend by our selves and never see anyone else. Not the same anymore.   SAD
