I am offering a very small 1 gun only lease north of Grand Saline in the Caney Creek area. This is 17 acres of what's left of an old family homestead after the relatives carved it up. It is a wooded oak bottom with a hi-power transmission line cutting through it. The neighbors see 8 points and up frequently. Several tell me the biggest deer they have ever seen are traveling that corridor between the large woods and pastures across the county road frontage. It hasn't been deer hunted in over 15+ years. There is also a 10x12 range shack with a 100, 200, 300 yard target distance for zero or load development. $2500 annual one gun lease.

I'm gonna be genuinely shocked if this doesn't go quick. It's small, but I think that area is super competitive.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

It's raining acorns. This guy was checking out the hog corn from a guy I let harvest pigs a few yrs back. Lots of older bigger deer regularly. One gun only.

Same here!

That buck was “checking out “ corn that was a “few years old” ? Interesting

Aside from the pics being 3 years old, and the property being tiny..... last pic shows some real potential in the next few years.....

Potential 12+ point non-typical run off by old Roman nose 7.
These pics are last time it was even hog hunted 3 yrs ago.






Full year round access. One gun or bow.
Will post when leased. Thanks all.

Those are some nice bucks, no doubt

$2,500 is a great deal less than what you might pay per year to live on a place like that. I might be surprised if it covered the taxes. Plus range marked out to 300 yards. Oh man.

If I had $2,500 to spare I'd be all over it.

ya snooze ya lose

Actually, it is. Check out lands of texas for going rates for property. 17 acres around him is about $125K. If he has an ag exemption then his taxes are basically nothing. If not, he is probably paying at least 2.5% in total tax burden for county, FM, school, etc. That would put his tax base around $3125. It could be a little lower or a little higher but there are very few school districts in the state of texas less than 1.5% and then all the other hands get in there for a piece of the pie.

As a landowner, I see my side but I try to see it from the lessee's standpoint as well. I get it -- people hate paying so much to lease, but the reality of it is land has doubled and some tripled+ anywhere within an hour of a major metropolitan area in Texas -- and that's just in the last 10 years. You can't make more land it is almost all in private hands in the state of Texas.

Thanks I try to ignore the forum bullies. Those bunker forum brats are the worse though, THF Celebrity, ha! It should say THF $marta$$. Then they forget the taxman puts another $79 lease tax on us to rent it out. Then that expires on Aug 31 so another $79 to finish out his complaining season, grrrr. It's enough to prevent a man from even leasing a nice hunting spot.

24/7/365 hunting @ 5 minutes from [img]http://www.bedrockrv.com/[/img] or use their dump station. NO LIVESTOCK to worry about.
Night hunting, trapping, any legal game including exotics. Don't let the size fool you, you don't need 100 acres in East Texas when they come to you.
Proven safe leasee will be able to night hunt another 50 acres livestock conditions permitting. Guaranteed renewals if paid by lease end.
Thank you.

Night hunting, trapping, any legal game including exotics

Can you list the exotics and provide pictures please?

I know a lot of the folks in that area. I'd be willing to bet it's being hunted.....

There are some nice deer in that area.

You mean, being poached?

4-wheel drive recommended. One way in one way out.



If they get caught, you can inscribe that on the headstone. No tolerance to trespassers.

Wouldn’t surprise me if being poached. When I signed my lease this year the LO told us. “I wouldn’t put it past people to hunt this land without permission so handle business accordingly if you see it happening”! Not something you say to Military guys paying to have a good time.

While I agree, the locals down there know when your on the property....
A lot of them live by the motto -
Illegal is a sick bird and seasons are what you put on meat before you cook.

That was a good one. But that goes two ways... "SSS"...

Out of curiosity, was this the Gray family homestead? If you even have this information lol. I'm a Grand Saline native and it sounds very familiar.
