My wife and I lease 3000 acres just south of Aspermont. This is our fifth year there. The first three years we were there by ourselves. Last year we got five nice guys who hunt deer to join us. They are back this year. Our deer herd is improving. It was decimated by previous hunters. Patsy and I haven't killed a deer yet, but may this year. At least the deer are back. We've seen some really big bucks. We've been feeding year round. The southern border of our lease is the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River. The other guys pay $1600. each for year round access. We have a couple of great bass ponds, plenty of dove and quail, some turkeys, and a small population of deer. What deer there are do seem large compared to central and south Texas deer. The camp area has water and electricity and we keep a travel trailer out there.

Hey Slammy -

sounds like you die and go to Heaven each time you visit that lease!

Hey ICMCummin,

It's even better than that. My hunting partner cooks all my meals for me, makes sure I have clean sheets to sleep on, and provides other "comforts of home". Yes I do have it good. She does cook some really good meals. We've been spending Thanksgiving out there and she has it all. Turkey, dressing, giblet gravy, and always some sort of sinful dessert. I don't take it for granted, but I do have to say I really enjoy it.

I almost feel sorry for those other fellows when I look out the window and see them eatin beenie weenies out of a can...I said almost.

I'll bet some of the guy's would like to know where we can check in on you on Thanksgiving day. I know I wouldn't mind. ;D

Hey Slammy......this beannie, weinie eater wants to know if she has an older, unmarried sister who is also a hunter!! ;D

You are a lucky man!!

Good Hunting,

Bob

Got off a East Texas deer lease last year and hunted with drop-tine outfitters. Took a nice 8 pt. It went 132 1/2 B/C. The East Texas lease was 1100 acers. It went about $650.00 a year with 10 our 11 hunters. It did not have power nor water just land. I didn't get on a lease this year I wanted to go on PM's. hunt in Jan.

Sorry Bob,

Her older sister is married. She likes to hunt and fish too. I am the luckiest guy around. Patsy is outside organizing the Suburban so we can leave tomorrow to go to the place in Aspermont.

I'm pretty sure I would have been a refugee from a Hells Angel love-in laid up under a beer joint on stilts at the beach near Rollover Pass if Patsy hadn't straightened me out. I'm not sure, but that may be where she found me. Oh well.

Hope all you guys have a great time hunting this weekend and good luck gettin that big buck!

Last year I went free range Aoudad hunting twice, deer hunting twice (day hunts), hog hunting once and then the usual dove hunting a couple of times. This season so far Doves, Will try to get out in the Quail bush this friday with my Brittany puppy. got whitetail 3 day hunt scheduled for thanksgiving, if have more tags left after that may go somewhere else if i can find something reasonable priced. exotic does in jan/feb at West Kerr, sheep/goat/predator hunt in march with TexasDoc and the crew. Looking into a hog hunt sometime this winter too. Hopefully Jims invitation for a Turkey hunt nest spring still stands. I'm always game for hunting oportunities if they fit the budget. I recently moved to the Lower Rio Grande valley from Houston. Steve

Sounds like things are working well for you in the RGV, Steve. Keep us posted on your hunts.

We pay $800 for a year round lease in Palo Pinto County just north of Gordon. Theres 500 acres on the place with 5 hunters, the way we're spead out we don't crowd each other and we've been on this lease for 5 years and have done some passin up so now we're seeing some better quality bucks around, I passed on a couple of decent bucks this last weekend. We also have lots of turkey and hogs. We can shoot doves there but no one does. I've been leasing from the guy that owns the place for six years, but only five seasons on this lease. I normally shoot one buck- one doe - many hogs - and turkeys. Plus any varmints that we catch up with, three yotes for me there last season.

I don't have a lease,but may try to get up with Sabre2th. That is close to home.
