Need days for the cleaning crew to clean the lodge and hunters cottage and gives a day off for ranch manager who has to be available when hunters are at the ranch.
You can hunt through the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas thru new years. Should say that in the ad.

Yeah thats a deal breaker, are yall selling other hunts during the week ???? A cleaning crew shouldnt need 3 days and should be able to accomidate around the paying customers ( leasee) IMO. Id be intrested in the whole package for a corprate group if the week hunting changed.

There is no other hunts during the two and a half day non-hunting period. It worked well last season and if that is a problem then this is not the place for you. The maid service is included in the lease and the rancher needs the time off for the manager. Most of the hunters last year came on Fridays and only came out on Wednesday just one time. You will have plenty of hunting time under this lease and what is different is you will see the finest quality trophy bucks in Texas and have the opportunity to hunt guide free and shoot any buck you want.
Hope you find what you want.

It was hunted last season under this kind of lease for the first time. It is a one year lease. It was a combination of Corporate with some friends hunting for the 12 spots. The first time they had a corporate lease structure.I think it was a stretch for a few of the single hunters and they have not decided is they can fill the spots. The corporate leader is still trying to see what he can do but has not committed yet. The owner also raised the price. The 2013 season lease is now open and the owner is looking for a group of hunters or a corporate group.

Looks like the ranch manager has to guide you.

Ranch manager is there to make sure that rules are not broken and that the needs of the hunters are met. He is also the Rocksprings Fire Marshall and is well respected and all the hunters get along great with this guy.

Hope you find what you re looking for, but every responsible and good hunting lease has rules and supervision. Good luck finding a lease without rules.

One more item of information for those interested.
MLD State Biologist recommends taking at least 29 bucks annually off this ranch. The owner has High Quality 200”+ genetic doe and buck herd enhancement for 8 years.
Ranch whitetail herd consist of about 150 deer including fawns.
Research shows that the doe carry 70% of the antler genetics.Releasing high quality doe annually to breed on the ranch for 8 years is the foundation for this ranches trophy hunting program.

In one of your earlier post you mentioned the lease gets to take 12 trophy bucks and 6 management bucks. Has that number now been increased to at least 29 bucks?

No. The Biologist estimate of total bucks that can be taken under the MLD permits is 29, out of that 29 the top 12 Trophies are being taken by hunters and also 6 management bucks. The rest are normally younger bucks that we want to leave for next years harvest. Some bucks die on the ranch from fighting each season. In addition the owner releases up to 8 - 160" to 190" bucks out of his deer pens before the season begins for hunters to harvest this season. This is done every year. This is not included in the 29 bucks from the Biologist. This information is to show hunter's that there are plenty of Trophies to hunt.
Hunters hunt on there own, no guides except for management hunts. This is so the hunters do not make a mistake and shoot young bucks. Management bucks they want taken are older bucks, 8 points, etc.
Lot's of big framed typical type bucks are on this ranch.
Hope this answers your question.

Your management plan doesn't make sense if the biologist says take 29 bucks and you are recommending 12-18 ?

The owner has 29 buck tags given for the ranch. They will use 18 for the lease hunters. They will have a few extra for those who want to shoot extra trophies or in the event they see that they have more than 6 management bucks to shoot,then those tags can be used for extra management bucks. There is a extra fee for these bucks.This past season the Corporate group wanted more than the 12 trophies for some guest they had. So we had tags available for them to use.
This will be available for this season as well.
I hope this answers your question.

Again, if you dont use all your MLD tags you will get cut short the next year so without making this a argument it sounds like your selling hunts and trying to lease, good luck finding a group ok with that.

We have several real trophy hunters already very interested.
You have made it clear that you do not like this deal so move on. It's not for you.

MLD permits are issued each year based on our surveys. Those annual surveys set the number of tags. Some year we have had more than 29 some less. Again the owner releases and grows plenty of trophy bucks.If you pay for 12 Trophies you will get 12 trophies at this ranch. The owner does not sell hunts in addition to the lease to use up the tags.

Sounds like BS to me. I have never heard of any ranch on MLD getting cut back on permits the next year. Permits are issued based off surveys. Things happen that keep someone from using all the permits in some years. It has happened to me and all I did was tell them what happened. As long as he has enough permits to cover the lease then he can do what he wants with the rest. It will be his problem the next year not the those on the lease.

Thanks for clarifying and confirming what is the deal with MLD permits and tags.
These guys for some reason are trying to run folks off from getting on a great lease.

not trying to run anyone off at all, just asking questions that im sure anyone would like to know the answers to. I have a corprate group that has a budget of 150k and im looking for something to fit there wants and needs is all. I have been on many MLD leases and ranches and have seen survey numbers go up but tag issued numbers go down do to tags not being used the previous year, now that may have been a owner or managers mistake but im not totally sure of the reasoning.
