You can't rob someone of something they don't own.

He is providing at least $1000 just in corn and seed plus planting food plots and providing feeders and stands. I think $4-5k is a great deal for someone with good quality deer.

Wow....attack mode. You outta TP maybe

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate opinions from both sides pro and con.

It’s 100 acres in Cass County, not Webb County.

2400 lbs of corn is 48 50lb bags at $7 a bag. My math says $336, idk where the $1000 came from.

Plus seed and fertilizer for 3 food plots....and all the labor/tractor work...easily $1000.

It’s still Cass Effing County.

It’s still Cass Effing County.

What is effing, if it's profanity why is it needed to answer the OP question??????????????????

Is money not worth the same in Cass Effing County?

Is corn and fertilizer and seed and labor and tractor work that much cheaper in Cass Effing County??

Mr. T,
Don't let one asshat's opinion have an effect on whatever you want to do with your own place.

I ask same minded people the same question all the time.

If you owned property how much would you charge to let strangers have basically all access to it?

Idiotic answers or crickets...

Nice place for sure. Just small. I won’t hunt small property anymore. Doesn’t mean my hunting is better, but I do like to look a different scenery every now and again.

After a couple of years of maintaining 3 feeders, blinds and cameras by myself, I think it's reasonably priced.

If you figure about $1,500 for each blind/feeder setup, corn, labor, and even food plots, it's a great deal for someone who just wants to hunt.

What hourly rate for labor is considered reasonable???

I hope a good person takes you up on it.

You left out the most important factor ------------------- what is around it ???------- if it borders a 2000 acre ranch , that is one thing,,, if all the plots around it are 50 and 100 acres, that is a totally different situation.

The OP did answer & explain that question...

The guy who does my tractor work charges $55 an hour...that's for bush-hogging, disking, tilling, spreading, food plots, etc. For my three 1-2 acre food plots it usually cost me about $750.

Did either of you even open the link that showed the property, improvements, super nice blinds, feeders, food plots and the description of adjoining properties?
Did you see the amount of deer, quality of bucks? Cass county can produce some Monster bucks especially with large neighbors with little to no pressure.

Please tell us about your setup, how many acres, how much do you pay? Show us some pictures of the massive bucks you have taken off your place recently

If I remember correctly once the season hit, there were not many deer sightings on the place. What's a person going to do after spending that kind of money and not getting a deer? Just something to think about on the pricing of you want someone to stay multiple years and not expect a big buck like the one in the pictures. I pay $1,700 for way more land so not getting a buck is not as painful. Just take doe for meat and enjoy the outdoors plus tons of turkey and other stuff to do with water and electricity. Its tough since you are providing the blinds and everything. Good luck to whoever might lease it.

I guess I missed where the OP made mention of not many deer spotted after the season started
One would think since he has a buffet (food plots with mixed greens and corn) for the deer to eat year round, he probably draws a lot of deer from surrounding properties year round?

FYI I still think it is a little pricey for me, but thats just me! I can see where it would be a very good value for someone else


(Three food plots have been carved out of the dense trees. There is a 4-acre food plot, and two 2-acre food plots that have been planted in winter oats/Austrian winter peas. They are a magnet for the big mature deer that Cass County is known for. The property is situated about 7 miles north of the City of Hughes Springs on county road 2932. It is truly a hidden gem when it comes to Deer Hunting. The property has been well managed and I think that the photos speak for themselves when it comes to the quantity and quality of the deer on the property.

The property is AG Exempt, (Timber) and Taxes for 2018 were $238. There is a 2-acre duck slough that provides water for wildlife, however the entire north property boundary is Kelly Creek, which serves as a major travel corridor for big bucks and other wildlife throughout the year. Almost always you will find Wood ducks on the year around water holes in the creek and mallards on the duck slough.

The property is surrounded by large neighbors, two of which do not hunt. A mulcher was brought in last year to enlarge the ATV trails allowing great access to every part of the property. Unlike other small properties, this ranch actually has deer that live on the property, not just passing through it.)

If it was close, I'd do it. It would cost me that much for my son and me to lease just about anywhere and probably have 10 other people on with us to boot. To have a place to yourself is worth something also. A lot of work has gone into the property that requires both machinery and manpower. This doesn't include the cost of transporting the equipment to get the job done. it would serve the needs of a lot of folks but maybe not all.

I would do it in a heartbeat IF I was not already on 3000 acres in west Texas, and already own my own 85 acre farm in Kansas that produces brutes (so small land doesn't bother me). The hog hunting and spring turkey is worth it for two people, even if you don't shoot a deer. Turnkey is hard to find, and hogs and decent deer in daytime pics ! But thats me .....

That place looks awesome and since I don't have my own, I'd love to lease a place just like it for just myself and my youngest who's 10. Partly just love a place to go shoot. But no way I could justify $5K. Not knocking it at all, but I could see $2-3K maybe.

looks like a well cared for place in a good location. I would not want to lease it if it were also leased to another hunter. though the place looks to have a lot of good quality game, 100ac is just not big enough to lease to two people who don't know each other. and then also share it with you on the weekends sometimes. For one hunter, or maybe a father/child, father/wife/child...people who wouldn't be competing with each other. $5000 still sounds like a lot, but i've been pretty fortunate to have some decent places to hunt that didn't cost me nearly that much. For someone who could afford to just buy the place it'd be a heck of a small farm/ranch with some good hunting as a bonus. Even though the game looks really good, its been my experience that folks who are willing to pay several thousand dollars to hunt are usually looking for what i'm going to call a "large property experience"...they don't want to shoot one on a smaller HF place, or on a smaller backyard type place.

I just went through the pics again. Those aren't multiple pics of a couple of good bucks, they're different bucks, looking at their browtines. Really good quality mature deer. Beautiful place.

why would anyone pay 5-6K for 100 acres in east texas, when they could get on a very nice lease for that kind of money that gives you probably 3-5 times more land to hunt?


the problem with small acreage is that you don't hold any deer, they just pass through. We see bucks traveling 1-2 miles a day during non rut times. during the rut, all bets are off. They'll travel miles and miles.

Probably because they live fairly close and have the $$ and do not want to drive 4 + hours each way to hunt.
