Looks like a very family friendly place. Im sure some will jump in. Im curious you stated MLD tags were 15-20 a year and its 1400 acres--is that about normal for that area?

It was nice speaking with you earlier Cajun!
Freerange, I've only been there for five years and that's what we average. All the property owners have to do spotlight surveys to comply with their MLD rules. I don't know their exact numbers, but I assume that they are all seeing healthy numbers too as the biologists seem to be happy with everything.

Wish I had the cash. Lane is one heck of a good guy and that place looks like paradise.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I appreciate the kind feedback everyone. I can't believe we were able to get on a property like this in the first place, and I have truly enjoyed the last few seasons of hunting and fishing out there. I've gotten to watch a lot of youngsters shoot their first deer, which has made it that much more special. I know it's not cheap, but my goodness we have a lot of fun on this lease. It's close to home and with the hunting season being so long, a person can really enjoy some quality stand time and be picky with what they want to harvest. When February comes to an end and spring starts to roll around, the fishing and hog hunting really gets good.
I plan to run down next weekend for some frog gigging and trot line running, so I'm hoping that goes well!

Looks like a great opportunity for the right hunters - the price is certainly right for a place with the amenities it has

Lol, I’ve cooked in that kitchen! I’m surprised by those pics, they’ve heavily managed for a long time. I would have expected larger. It is a great ranch.
