Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lost my East Texas Lease

It [bleep] is now, it’s posted here.

Eat a snickers urethra franklin, jeeeze!!!

Never understood the satisfaction in lease hunting? You really feal like you’ve accomplished something?

From what I've seen, shooting is about all folks do on a lease.

I guess sitting in a heated building with cable tv makes it nice..

God didn't love you as much.

Sorry to hear hanco good luck on the other lease. Always the few ass hats that ruin it for everyone

I never been on a lease, not even as a guest. I hunt huge chunks of public land . I am too poor to pay for land , so public it is. It is very tough hunting but is all I have. As for the lease you lost, how much was it? and you still have a place to hunt.

Yeah but there's no beer, so tell me how easy that is, and even if it's heated, when you open the window to shoot it gets cold.

If I lived in a state that had huge chunks of public land, I probably never would have hunted on leased land. I envy those of you that live in areas like that. But, sadly that is not the situation where I live.

Most of Texas is private, you pay or you don’t hunt. It is what it is.

Yup. Was on mine for five or six years, then last fall was told we had to get all our stuff off by 26 October...about a week before deer season. Land got sold.

Jeez,
Kinda the opposite of California.
Y'all can own all sorts or firearms we can't, but unless you pay someone you really can't use them.

Those of us here can't own a whole bunch of firearms (legally?) but we can't hunt in a whole lot of places for free................even in SoCal and just a 90 minute drive or so from metro San Fran and Suctomento.

Maybe if some of you Texicans moved here when you lose your leases we can up the pro 2A vote and turn this state around. We'll trade you some antis!

All joking aside hanco, sorry to hear about your situation. Hunting leases, like renting a house long term only to have the ownership change really sucks at times.

Glad you seem to have some options.

Good Luck,

Geno

When you lease the hunting rights on a piece of ground, the only thing you know for sure is that you will lose it at some point. We lost our Mule Deer ranch in the Big Bend about four years ago after having it for about fifteen years. Then about three years ago I lost the Whitetail pasture I had leased for twenty five years here at home.

Change in ownership was the reason in both cases. I didn’t get outbid, they just quit leasing.

I have about a quarter section I can hunt about three miles from the house. My two kids heired it from their mother so I’m likely to keep it.

If hunting is not important enough to you to pay what it takes to lease good property.....that’s fine. But it is chickenshit to badmouth those of us to whom it IS important. Even when I go to another state to hunt, I pay to hunt private land.

I tried public land hunts in N Mexico and Colorado years ago and killed deer both times, but knowing there were idiots prowling the same area I was hunting took all the joy out of it.

And yeah, Hanco, I feel your pain having to move all that stuff. BTDT.

It will take a few trailer loads to get it all. It’s a pain in the ass.

Good. We prefer you idiots stay on private.

For someone that’s use to hunting public land, and then go with someone that’s hunts private, it’s pretty comical.

Unaware of surroundings, don’t GAF what’s behind where they’re shooting. Can’t shoot past 75 yards... my 7 year old kid makes them look like an amateur

Hanco, sorry to hear you lost your lease. BTDT.

You know its comical reading the post about some of the fellows that hunt only on public land. They're the ones that can out hunt, out shoot, out fish, out drink, out fug everyone else. Some of them kinda remind me of AOC..... haven't got a fuggin clue. Lots of folks that hunt on public land are good land stewards, good hunters, etc., but not all and that gives everyone a black eye. if your fuggin up on leased land, your gone, ASAP. Land owners wont put up with it. But hell, us fellows that lease dont know what were doing. The very reason I wont hunt public land is because of the idiots that show up there.

The reason you don’t hunt public land, like most of you, is because you can’t get it done.

I’ve hunted public land in Texas, it’s scary as hell.
