I’ve been on this forum for a long time and have offered season leases through the bow hunting page on our ranch in San Saba for 20+ years.
Last year I did a couple weekend lease hunts with great success. The 2 hunters that booked opening weekend this year have had a medical issue come up and I let them out of the committment. I have opening weekend for 2 hunters on 400 +/- acres in Bell county. I own multiple properties in Bell County that range from 100 to 500 acres that are loaded with deer. There will not have been any deer shot off these properties before opening weekend. It would be one buck and 3 does and I don’t care what is shot.

Every property has numerous bucks in the 120 to 140 range and every property has produced a buck over 150.

It would be a Saturday and Sunday self guided on the property. The properties have stands and feeders and I’m happy to share pictures. These are basically my private hunting properties and I just have more deer than I need even after taking 4-5 kids hunting later in the season. On the last day of season last year, one property had 260 are in 100 acre Wheatfield. 55 of them being eight pointer or bigger. Several of these properties are on the edge of the city limits with zero hunting neighbors.

Basically, I’m looking to offset the cost of new stands/feeders, Feed, food plots, and other improvements we do to the properties.

$1850 for 1 buck up to $140 and 3 does. $500 additional for bucks over 140. Opening weekend is always the peak of the prerut in Bell county and the best weekend to hunt.

These are all average deer that will be seen.

These deer were shot on that property last year. [img]https://hosting.photobucket.com/f1a...jpeg?width=0&height=0&fit=bounds[/img]
