What can you tell me about the deer population? Poachers, thieves, etc. I just got on another east Texas timber lease. After the last one I was on I was reluctant to do it. But, my wife wanted to spend a bunch of money so she and the girls could go visit her dad in Vegas. That left my lease budget hurting. My hunting buddy Josh found a place near Center. Dues are only $550. 10 members hunting just over 1200 acres. The other members are all older gentlemen that hunt on logging roads and pipelines, they don't go IN the woods. The manager told Josh and I all the hardwood timber bottoms are ours to hunt. This property has a lot of deep creek bottoms. After walking the place for just a couple of hours I'm pretty excited about it. We found several rublines from last year and the main creek through the property still has water. I felt particularly good about a high traffic creek crossing with a great tree 15 yds away. On our way back out we jumped up a buck that looked to be 3 1/2. hard to tell with him in velvet and running the way he was.
The lease is 8 miles from Josh's house and 2 1/2 hours from mine Oh well, it looks promising. I'm glad I got a new camper that is selfcontained. No water or elec. in camp. Glad I have a generator too!
Oh, and tomorrow morning I'm going to the bank and opening a savings account. It will get all of my side job earnings and all other miscellaneous earnings. next year i'll try again to get off a timber lease and on to a place with deer and turkeys.
