does anyone have another lease that's open for next season with a reasonable price (under $1000) and within an hours drive?

Guess we'll see if Dak's got it now

I loved DJ Farms up until 2 years ago when I got on the lease as a single when a few buddies dropped out. I was working at the time so I couldn't really hunt much during the week. They started to try to manage the huntable ponds and only allow a certain number of hunters on each on certain days. I like the attempt to manage, it's good for trying to keep the places from getting shot out. My issue was I could not say 4 weeks in advance if I could hunt this Saturday or that Sunday. Everytime I called and asked to hunt a "good" pond, I was told I couldn't. I'm by no means an expert, but I've been on the lease a few years, and as a single with that in mind, I figured even if a group was on a pond I would be allowed to join the hunt. Needless to say I was only able to go a handful of times and shot ZERO birds. I now work from home so I'd consider rejoining as like I said before in previous years the hunting was okay. Not great, but an hour from Plano was worth it for me to freeze my [censored] off and chunk a few decoys. you also get to dove hunt too which I've yet to do there, but hear good things if you go in the first couple weeks. Vernon on here and David who managed the ponds are both great people.

You are wasting your time at DJ's for duck hunting, Probably the Frisco DU too. If you have access to Dorchester and Van Alstyne don't screw those up.
