supply/demand
as long as the US/TX population keeps rising, people will need places to live. less land, less access, price increases.. that said, i bought my own land 5 yrs ago... only 150ac, not big deer at all, but my wife and daughter love it... i no longer hunt horns, i pig/dove hunt and drink/cook while they hunt. i do coon and rat eradication. we still eat plenty of wild game, but don't put 'em on the walls anymore

Man, I am always surprised when someone here ask a question like yours. Everyone on here has an opinion but the only one that counts is yours. It is your money, your time, your investment and no one posting about your question is going to pay it for you!!!!! Do what you feel is right and don't give a hoot what anyone else thinks.

I don't think its the hunting lease as an institution in Texas that will harm hunting. It's been around here for far too long, many generations, without doing any harm. The problems are coming from high fence operations and good ol greed. Before too long hunting will be a sport for the landowners and wealthy if some kind of correction doesn't take place.

I hunted a place in what I would call coastal south texas, south of Beeville. It was a large ranch 45000 ac or so divided up into 2500 to 3000 acre pastures leased by different groups. I was strictly managed by the ranch and the hunters, including a game biologist. When I started hunting it was about the start of the strict management, there were hardly any quality deer.
Here's the kicker, after nine years of letting deer walk that you would have killed anywhere else because they weren't o.k. to shoot in the management deal, the ranch goes way up because the deer quality was so much better now than 9 years ago.
So we passed deer, fed protein year round and then got priced out because the "ranch" could get a better price because there were better deer. Go figure.
