His name is Shane Roberts ...we leased a part of our property in carbon tx
ToSHANE ROBERTS for hog hunting and this scum went and is leasing our property as a yr deer lease to at least 9 people that we know of which he has no rights to lease this property so these poor folks are out $1200 each.. The game warden has been noticed and is looking for him for fraud charges
So beware if leasing from a guy in carbon or gorman tx
Message me for more info or if your looking in these areas I can confirm this is our property

Anyone...Can you send private messages on here to an individual and if so how? Thank you

I called Eastland Co Sheriffs office ...

He is in custody for something else that isn't related to any of this. But game warden has enough with all this to make his new housing a much much longer stay. Just hope everyone that was taken by this guy files charges and that eastland county pursues it to its fullest.

We had a situation where an adjoining land owner's SIL leased on one of our satellite timber tracts. It is a mature timber tract what doesn't need much managment and is several miles from the majority of our property, so I guess he figured we'd never notice.

The worst part was the man he took advantage of. The GW told me the guy had saved all year to have a place to take his son hunting. They had worked together to put in green fields and a couple of shooting houses, and then found out he had no rights to hunt. I met with him to see if his storie was legitimate, big ol guy starts crying about letting his son down, 10 yr old boy who had worked with his daddy every weekend to get the place ready and practiced his shooting all summer.
As mad as I was at the guy that leased the property, I couldn't bring my self to crush that little boys opportunity to make those memories with his dad. This will be the third year they have hunted the property for just the cost of an insurance policy.

Maybe I'm getting soft, but i was not about to take away their place to hunt, talk, and build a relationship they would cherish for a lifetime. Those who grew up hunting with their dad or granddad know what I'm talking about. I'm 40 with 2 degrees, but can promise you the most important lessons I ever learned were from my dad in a deer stand or sitting on the tailgate of a truck after a hard days work.

When I was a kid in high school my parents leased their land to a guy who the first year was solid. I think it was around the third year that he took all the hunters money but didn't pay any landowners. Parents property is out by Lake Daniels in Breckenridge and he had land "leased" from Abilene to W'ford. I think it was the mid/early 90's and I don't think the guy spent a day in jail over the offense but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the heads up. This guy sounds like J D Cox reincarnated but just my personal opinion.

heck, this made me start to tear up and I am just reading it. good on you sir

Has anyone done business with Courvillesoutdoors.com? I've seen a few deer leases they have posted online and was just curious if anyone has had any experience with them? Was it good or bad?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the heads up. This guy sounds like J D Cox reincarnated but just my personal opinion.

What should someone do to verify they are entering into a valid lease? If I was to meet someone like this man Shane Roberts on the property, he showed me around, I paid him and unknowingly signed a fraudulent lease.... what could I have requested from him to validate that he owns and has a right to lease the land? (which obviously in this situation he would be unable to produce)

Hey Guys, I'm fairly new to the group but I've been reading all your posts and it seems like a really good group of guys. I know there are other threads about good leases on here but it doesn't seem like anyone answered this guys question. And I have the same question, I'm new to the area and don't know anyone to ask and not sure where to look. The last thing I'd wanna do is actually find something and have no way to know if its a scam. Is there any foolproof way to verify before you sign and pay for the lease?

Hey,

I'm new to THF and am looking for an annual lease about 2 hours from Fort Worth. I am management and safety minded, and a father to a first time hunter that I'd like to continue making memories with. Please let me know if y'all are interested in helping me find the following:
- deer, hogs, dove
- about 100+ acres (for me)
- family friendly (me and my daughter)
- electrical for a small camper
I'd like to find a lease west/north west of Ft Worth; east of Abilene; south of Wichita Falls.

I know I'm getting in a little late in the game, but any help is appreciated.

Jason
