Looking at a lease he has in Haskell Co. by lake Stanford. Does anyone know anything about him? How about the deer numbers out that way?

Needlessly we didn't lease any property from him.

I know Mike and I couldn't ever see him acting like that. My experience with any lease broker is that they don't negotiate lease prices.. These guys charge what they do because people are willing to pay it. It is just the same as any other business, we just take it personally because it greatly affects our favorite past time. This is how most of these guys make a living. Im not supporting it, this is just the way it is. I try to my find leases on my own. However, the majority of these guys are from some of the areas that they lease. The farmers feel more comfortable dealing with them than the hunters.

With all of that being said, I am absolutely not a fan of third-party leasing(politically correct). This is one of the main reasons our sport is so expensive these days.

I like the 350 acres with 4 hunter ads.
It would be entertaining to see him get a 5000 acre piece of property. That would end up being about 57 hunters if my math if working for me. :d

Mike D, I'm sorry. I was not trying to discredit your experience with, but instead just trying to give him a fair shake.
