LOOKING FOR TWENTY HUNTERS
Lease Details: Family Lease, 32 members total w/ guest priveledges, 3 bedroom nice camp house w/ full kitch, ele, H2O, bathroom, ice machine. 12 miles off paved road through 5 gates approx 20mi NW of dwn twn Uvalde / 12mi SW of Concan, 1 trophy buck and 1 cull and 2 does per year, lots of hogs and turkeys, Full access during Deer & turkey season w/limited off season access, Rugged, rocky, mesas & canyons, cedar & mesquite infested terraine best suited for atv access, cows are the only managed livestock on property, some exotics, good group of members , large lie tellin fire pit, occasional squabbles over the definition of a cull buck as well as how to manage lease in general, $3000 / yr. My opinion from the last twelve years of hunting this ranch is that we have up to 140 class Max deer. Property is remote(just the way I like it) but very comfortable with most every ammenity required to grab two big handfulls of the great outdoors during the morning and afternoon hunts, , cut, clean and cooler your game, enjoy stories of great chase around a large firepit,eat a hot meal, hot shower and get a great nights sleep in a warm bed (earplugs not included). Trailers welcome as this is where I and most members lodge during our stays. Very few (six that I know of) members use the house for anything more than the full kitchen.


Our rut is usually at the end of Nov / the beginning of December.

What we are looking for in new members:
Real Hunters (NOT Killers) that will commit to helping us growing a better deer herd.
Adults who know how to pick up after their selves and will commit to completing camp projects / maintenance on their own initiative.
No Jekyl & Hyde Complex - people behave just fine in their home communities yet morph into Pancho Villa type egotists once they get a beer and a gun in their hands. Pmt of lease fees do not provide land ownership status.
People who know how to tell time and commit to follow 25 mph speed limit on 12 mi incoming access roads & will not drive in to lease and upset neighboring ranch hunters during deer season morning and afternoon hunt times.
People who in general know what constitutes a cull buck.(incidently it is not a 2 y/o 8pt w/ a 1O inch spread unless it is missing two of its legs and in the process of attacking your child).

Sorry to be so blunt as I know that there are some real decent folks out there. We need to fill one spot for the 2018/19 season with a good ethical hunter.

I will be available to show this lease on April 7th & 8th. No members accepted sight unseen, I must meet candidates in person at the lease to make sure this venture will be a good fit for all.

Applicants are welcome to spend the night (don't worry we have a/c) and consume adult bevereges during your visit so we can get a better idea of how prone you are to that Hyde complex I was talkin about.

How many acres?

Need 20 are just 1 hunter?

lol, I'd fit right in with this group but too far for me! This is also now my favorite lease ad of all time!

All of the info except the one relevant piece of information ------- how many acres. Makes you wonder. 32 members with guests ------- I cant imagine. Apparently 20 of the 32 hunters from last year quit ---

Believe it’s around 6k acres if I remember correctly. I think the lease was taken over by a different group a couple years ago but looks like the lease manager got it back. Ranch was nice just too many ppl for me. Plenty of deer, hogs, turkey and there were also auodad on the ranch.

That is a great ad

Post on Facebook lease pages. There's about 500 folks looking per ad there. Where did the 20 folks go and why?

Sorry for the typos & omissions. Lease is 7500 acres looking for 20 hunters with a maximum of 32 hunters total so more than 200acres per hunter.

i might know some good guys for this. I will pass along the info
