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...

Same situation, we had to be off in April and it sold last month.
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

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 😉

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
You can't fix stupid

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.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

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.

We’ll be starting to tear down soon. 1-4 hunters. Need to be out by 1/19/25. Any upcoming openings nearby (Cherokee, San Saba County) would be welcome to simplify the move. For me alone, everything between Abilene, Red River, Texarkana and Hill Country is possible. Prefer under $2,500
