Kinda restating what others have said, but Kerrville, Junction, Roosevelt, Leaky, Rocksprings, etc. You get a little of everything in those areas.

I made a phone call to a guy that has a place with a ton of axis on it. I get it I will let you know. Be nice to find a place big enough if it happens our whole group from Red River can go. You guys are a great group of guys.

Finding what you're looking for in the $3-4K per hunter price range is the hard part. If you can find one for that price, it will likely not allow you to shoot exotics without additional trophy fees. Add in the feed bill on top of the lease price, and you're getting way on up there. Lots of landowners require you to feed protein all year.

But yes it is hard to find for sure. I looked most the year this last offseason and though I found a few most had lots of rules and stipulations and just not what we were after. I do have a lead on one with another TBHer that I am really hoping comes to light. If I do it will require the whole group.

Originally posted by bowhuntertex View PostMost leases in the Junction/Telegraph area I have been are were around $2500 per gun and usually included 1 axis buck and 2 does. there were always 1 or 2 exotics off limits because the landowner liked them, but everything else was fair game.

Originally posted by Shane View PostThe one I'm on in that area now was originally priced at $4K with 1 axis buck. I looked at a BUNCH of leases in the Junction/Sonora area last year, and most of them cost more than that. We negotiated a deal with the landowner to put fewer hunters on the lease and pay $5K each to get 2 axis bucks each. Of course, that made the feed bill higher for each of us too.

Originally posted by bowhuntertex View Postthe places I looked at were through friends whose family had been leasing the places for over 20 years. That may be why they are much less. Long time landowner/hunter relationships go a long ways. Heck all you need is about 30-40 acres in that area to kill exotics.
