Some of the guys have cut pine trees down through the years. The paper company got enough. Some of the guys have been on that lease for 50 years. I’ve been on there for 15 years. Damn shame, it was 90 miles away. Good deer, too many damn hogs, but a fun place. I got on this lease when I lost the 1000 acres I had to myself in Coleman County It was sold after the owner died. I had it for 25 great years. I have to get all of my stands, feeders, etc. I hate picking-hauling all that crap back.
I have another lease in Burnet county, so I still have a place to hunt. It’s 4 hours away.
Anyone else ever lose a good lease?

Sorry to hear that. Some people just do not know how to not chit in their mess kit.

I've lost permission to hunt due to what other people did. (Trash and cut fences) farmer kicked everyone out, but I've never leased a place in my life.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

hanco, One of the reasons I left Louisiana almost 34 years ago. Very little government/state land, near impossible to get a good lease.....unless you’re a doctor/lawyer/Indian chief. Oh.....or a crooked politician! Plus......Louisiana is way too crowded! memtb

Never paid for a lease. 99.9 percent of the time I’ve hunted public land. I’m sure they’ll take tat away someday.

Nope, never had a lease so never lost one. One reason I'd never want to move to Texas or any State that didn't have plenty of public land. I'd never be able to afford the rediculous lease fee's so would never be able to hunt

Been on some good leases over the years. I tell everyone nothing lasts forever.
You might go and talk to the paper company. Tell them you had nothing to do with this problem. And with you retired and running the lease it want happen again. Hasbeen

Happens often in Louisiana in big buck areas. Folks get outbid mostly.
Sorry to hear that Hanco.

I'm on pins and needles right now over our lease. It has sold and we are waiting for word on whether we're going to be able to continue hunting. My family started hunting there in 1971.

All of that hassle is why I quit leases years ago. It’s much easier to pay for a guided hunt. I get fed, waited on & don’t have to get my hands messy.

It’s hell waiting to find out. I’ve been on four leases since 1976. Ozone in Crockett County, Coleman County, Woodville in Polk county and Burnet in Burnet county. The Burnet lease is in trouble, owners died, left land in trust. Some of siblings are trying to break the trust.

Lost the last one several years ago when the paper company gave it to the wildlife people to turn it into game lands. 7500 acres and 5 of us. Oh well.

Ok, shooting. It sure beats sweating to death in August dragging all that junk down the road & setting it up in the Texas humidity.
