Austin the last year or so.

Well actually I did lose money. The three different trips to the lease, and one taking and leaving my motorhome there. Now that's alot of gas @ $3.50 a gallon. Plus most of the fencing material can't be reused. And I still have to go there and move my motorhome, more gas. I found out alot more today. He had been caught day leasing some hunter's annual lease during the work week. These hunter's went to their annual lease during a weekday to hunt, and there were people in THEIR stands who paid John/Steve to day hunt there. There was basically an armed standoff until the game warden showed up. Basically double and triple leasing properties without telling anyone.

Rob - get in touch with the county tax appraisal office, they can let you know who owns the property, then look them up in the phone book or internet.

Sure hope you get your equipment off, no reason why the landowner wouldn't allow you to do this, he had a problem with the manager/agent, not you.

Good Luck!

To find the landowner, just go online to the Young County Appraisal District's website. Type in the property address, or at least the name of the road. Then it should give you the name of the real owner of the property. After that, look up that person's name on the Yellow pages website. Their phone number's out there are usually listed. If you can't find the owner that way, look up all the landowner's in that area and call them one at a time. Someone will know the name & number of your landowner. That's how I found the owner of the property that I was on.

OK, Steve replied back with landowners name and number. I called him up and he's nice, just said things didn't work out with Steve. I have some time to get my stuff. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and help.

Fantastic!

A/C man, I was nearly scammed by Steve Thornell aka John Steven 2 days ago while searchimg the internet for deer hunt for my husband. We talked, texted and emailed back and forth all day. Some things were not adding up so I decided to do some research on him. Thanks to your post on here, along with some other information I gathered, I was not another one of his victims. He is currently operating under the business nameTexas Hunting Network. Still goes by John Steven, and is in the Austin, Tx area. He just resently got a new phone number 512-517-4373.

I went years ago to look at a place south of Clarendon that Steve had listed. The story and details I got from him when I got there wasn't the same as what we had discussed on the phone. My sensor went off quickly so I passed. I later heard that the landowner had booted him after the one season. Didn't surprise me at all.
