Just got word the landowner sold the place out from under us (wilhunt and I. He’s been there 23 years.)
Need to vacate by Jan 19…so looking to get on lists for next year. Hopefully be able to move our crap before then
2-4 responsible hunters in the Hill Country/ San Saba county now. Open to all the counties bordering it. Maybe more. No far west or far east TX.

It is tough after being on the Hunting lease that long. Was a nice place with very good owner, We do get to hunt this season which is a plus. Not the best of hunting but still a nice place to go whenever we wanted...

At least you got a few months notice. Gonna be filling your tags this season?

that stinks!!! had it happen a few times but the new owners wanted everyone gone before season started, at least you have a little bit of time to hunt and get your stuff.

Good luck finding a new spot!

Probably not.

Same situation, we had to be off in April and it sold last month.

Feel your pain, unfortunately for me I was hunting with my dad and his buddies when it happened and years later I'm still trying to find a group I fit well with. Best of luck.

Lease went back 40+ years of my family leasing the land. They didn't sale, just built new homestead and stopped leasing.

Not likely. Too few deer there. Maybe with pigs 😉

40 years wow! that would really be a tough one. Maybe this is the year for things to go your way.

I feel your pain - my Dad was on one back in the 1950's to the mid 1970's -

we have been on our place 17 years now - unfortunately it is the way of the world today - grandparents or parents own a ranch and once they pass away the kids have no interest or connection so they sell it - you will find a new one - you have to work at it but something will come along

Low deer deer count in the Hill Country? Guess 1 hunter per 100 acres has its issues.

I've experienced it too, but let's not blame owners or their heirs too terribly much. Afterall, it is their land. Sometimes the heirs have plenty of connection to a ranch, but selling is the most equitable (and I daresay the smartest) way to distribute the inheritance. Our 4 have been told they WILL sell the place as soon as feasible, if we don't sell it before we cross over. And our kids get along!

One thing about losing a lease - you learn real quick what you will and won't put on the next one. Best of luck to y'all and I hope you find an even better place.

Happened to me twice a LONG time ago. I bought my own little 133 acre POS place that isnt good for anything but hunting, fishing, 4wheelering and raising grandkids.

More like 1 per 50 actually.

I would check www.leasehunter.com several times a day - leases pop up there

Good thought. The only problem is those are available now…and we”d need to pay for 2 places at once for this season. I’ll bring this back up in December when someone might be dropping off. I know some managers keep a waiting list for that pirpose.
