New to hunting(bass fisherman all my life), just got my .270 a month ago. Wondering what the process is to get on a nice lease or a newcomer lease? I understand most of Texas is not public and all that, so I will have to pay. What can I expect? How can I set myself up good for next fall or even something sooner for some pigs? With that being said, I have a dream of shooting a doe or buck this next rifle season for deer and would love to shoot a pig before that. Any direction helps. Keep in mind, I am relatively completely new to hunting besides growing up in bass fishing. Thank you, Mike

I would go on a $200 doe hunt or pig hunt just to get at least one experience. On a doe hunt (or management hunt) you will have a mentor. Some ranches still have doe or management hunts because of MLD status.
If you join a lease, you are usually assigned an area and on your own.

1. Where would I find something like this? 2. what is MLD status?

There is a posts in the guide section that is located just above this section (lands and leases). That is a great place to start looking.
If I'm not hunting something I must be dead.
