Looking to put together a group of 5 bow hunters on 4000 acres. This is part of an 8000 acre ranch that has not been hunted in 16 yrs. Other 4000 acres will not be hunted at this time. If things work out well owner will consider opening in future.This will be managed for trophies only. Places like this do not open up very often! 4000.00 a gun Pm for details or call 817-360-1076

$4000 a gun for "no gun hunting" seems to be a little steep...

You get yr round access. We are just not wanting guns. There are 170 inch plus deer walking on this place! It's a matter of choice

Someone is trying to pay for 8k acres by sub leasing 4000k to bow hunters is what it sounds like.

No sir nobody is allowed to hunt the other 4000. This ranch has not been hunted in 16 yrs. The owners were tree huggers who hated hunting. They have wild horses on the other half and don't want any hunting in there. At 5.00 an acre it would be impossible to pay for it all. No need to be negative or skeptical. This is the deal I worked out with owners and if it doesn't work then it will stay closed. Just know a good peace of land and would make to be one of the best spots up there. If I were trying to mislead anyone I would have just called it an 4000 acre ranch ;-)

Saying you are looking for 5 bowhunters for 8000 acres is a bit misleading the way I look at it. Calling it what it is, 5 bowhunters on 4000 acres, is probably a better approach.
Good luck on filling the spots. Even at the price and pending viewing and other details I would be interested in this lease if it wasn't so dang far away.

Will they allow crossbows as well?
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

This ranch has not been hunted in 16 yrs. Can only tell you what I've seen with the cowboy.

Why only five bowhunters on 4000 acres? Do the owners want to limit the number folks on it? Five dollars per acre is cheap but $4000/hunter when you only allow five hunters is a pretty good chunk of change.

The owners are very shy about opening up the ranch after 16 yrs of non-hunting. I've tried for two yrs just to get him to agree to just bow. And two really good land owners up in that area spoke up for me. The number of hunters is my call. I've seen some bucks over 170 on this place and would just hate for it to get shot out.

Dang, that sounds like it has potential, it's just too far from Houston. Wish it was closer.

Not for next year, but if all rolls well and we get to open the other half of the ranch then maybe yes. You are allowed your does

Is 5 hunters your rule or the owners rule? Sounds to me like you could but quit a few more bow hunters on 4000 acers and lower the price for everyone.

This is the number we would like to go with for now. That area holds a mature deer per 700- 1000 acres. I a lot of hunters I know rather not be crowded and worried about the next guy. Pice is not that bad when you look at the amount of land you get
