Thanks SlaminEm, I havent ever hunted one before - I appreciate the insight. My mind isnt completely made up, but that's the way it's rolling right now.

Well damn.

We never got the email. But turns out we lost our lease from Marshall, too (we were on the ~600 acres San Saba Peak Ranch). It was only our first season, but we put a damned-lot of work into that place in a very short time. Now, we get to spend more time and money moving our stuff (lots of stuff).

Thankfully, one of the guys on our lease was also on another lease near San Saba, and he checked and they had 2 extra spots available for next season, so looks like I've got a place to land next year. Unfortunately, one of our 4 won't.

Oh no DeadRooster - I'm very sorry to hear this. We always saw your camp and wondered what it was like there.

How is the deer hunting a few miles east of zephyr I mite have a opportunity to get on a lease next season thanks.

Great and the Processor in Zephyr makes some mean jalapeno cheese summer sausage.

What are his prices like, and do you know if you get your own deer back?

I have never asked, but I have never had a reason to ask. Go in with a young doe and the meat sseems like it comes from a young doe. Go in with an old buck and the meats seems like it comes from and old buck.

im getting ready to go back to the lease to do repairs.also thinking about starting on my food plots is it to early for that? is there something you can plant that will last the whole year from now thru deer season.if so let me know what it is and where to purchase it.

Well, we found a new lease. Unfortunately, they only had three spots open (we had four on our lease on San Saba Peak Ranch), so one of our guys is still hanging.

We're on a bigger lease (2300 acres) in San Saba County, a bit north of Richland Springs (just south of the Colorado River). Our three guns makes it 10 guns total, all season, family friendly. Hate that I have to do all that work again -- moving and setting up camper, feeders, blinds, cameras, scouting, etc., but we have a 4 year written lease contract on this place, so hopefully we'll be set here for a while.

The big plus is a 1.5 acre tank in camp, with good fishing, and another 5 acre tank about 1/2 mile from camp, with more great fishing.

I pulled into camp Friday night to see many trucks and trailers loaded up preparing to leave. Saturday looked like I-45 with feeders and blinds being trailered away. This morning I was one of 'em.

So you shot a nubbin head?

been off for 2 days now i sure wish i was at the deer lease working on some stuff that needs repair oh well i guess i have plenty of time.
