Got out of the Navy, and moved home to Houston. I am now looking to get on a lease within about 2 hours of Houston for the 2010 season. If you or anyone you know could use another hunter, please let me know. I am 32 years old, and management conscious. I appreciate any leads.

Probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but you're probably not getting responses not because people don't want to lease it to you, but because there just isn't much within 2 hours of Houston, period. I looked in every direction when I was buying property, and list it out:
Not much at all within 2 hours if you head down I10 towards SA, because most of it is really, really expensive family land that has pretty weak populations of deer. Almost no one leases property heading down towards brazoria, though if you ever find something, jump on it because the deer are awesome. Heading towards LA, you'll start running into stuff, but again, within 2 hours? Not much good hunting land that you aren't going to need to drive a little further for.
Your best bet, in my opinion, would be to find something in the Woodville or Grapeland area. Maybe some timber property? Buffalo/Centerville is another area, or you could hunt the public property in Sam Houston or Davy Crockett National Forests.
Best of luck and thanks for your service. I know it can be tough.

head up 59 and your chances of finding something grows exponentially.

I would be very happy with something in Cold Springs or Point Blank. If you know of anything available there.

ATF issued a ruling on 1/12/09 that states:
"Any person who is engaged in the business of camouflaging or engraving firearms as described in this ruling must be licensed as a dealer, which includes a gunsmith, under the Gun Control Act."
