Looking for a lease, centrally located

[Neohighlander]

Hi guys,

I have three other hunting buddies. I live in Dallas, one lives in Fort Worth, another lives in Austin, and the fourth lives in Brenham. We have been hunting together for over a year now, and we have been talking about finding a lease to go in on. Ideally, we'd like to spend maybe maximum $1000 a year per person...less if possible...since we're not millionaires lol. However, the lease would have to be more or less centrally located, since two of us live up north and two of us live down south. Do any of you guys have any ideas as to where I can find a lease like this? Or perhaps of a website that would help us find one? We are mainly hunting hogs, then deer during deer season, and anything after that (turkey, small game, exotics) is just gravy. Ideally, the lease would have hookups for electricity and water, so that we could park an RV there or something similar. Does this place even exist, or am I dreaming? LOL Thanks guys!

Close and centrally located for you guys will be a little tough in that price range if you want any amount of acreage. The further west you go the cheaper it gets. Just need to decide if you want to pay up front or pay in gas/time down the road.

Go East or Far, Far West.

Other option is Far, Far South = Mexico

6 guns on 5500 ac at $3000/gun

Good luck!

the price of hunting is what is killing the sport, in 5 yrs youll be lucky if you will be able to afford to hunt anywhere

You can find some great stuff to hunt in East Texas... you have to spend time finding a good property and when you do, you have to spend a lot time in the woods to harvest a mature Buck in those woods. that's the only part of the state you'll find stuff for 1k or less

I think a thriving economy and an increase in demand for property is what's driving up prices. That and land prices have increased. I know a lot of landowners that do this to keep the riftraft away and to make it worth their while to deal with people on their land.

Public land is free... APH permit is only $48and opens up thousands of more acres

Greedy landowners and the amount of money that people who have money will pay is what is driving the cost of hunting up so much! Hard to find a good lease at a reasonable price anymore!

Extremely hard to find a lease just about anywhere for $1K.

How about a hog only hunting lease for under 1K? Anyone know of anything out there in central Texas?
