[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2583990, member: 122313"] That's pretty high for parker, Palo pinto, wise or jack county. 150 acres can be hunted in 3-4hours walking. 150 acres is not enough property to "manage" especially if there is another larger lease right on the other side of the 5 strand. Are they running cows on the property? There is one area that I know of in the DFW area that has big deer and it's public and archery only. Yes the convenience of being an hour from the house is nice but it aint worth 6k for 150 acres in my opinion. Plus a 150 acre place an hour from FW has a much higher possibility of being sold out from under you at any time. Big tracts of land change hands less often. There is nothing more frustrating than managing a place for 3-5 years then having it sold out from under you when you finally start seeing good deer on camera. Personally I'd stay on I20 till you get over Ranger hill or at least across the Brazos. Our lease is 196 miles from my house one way and I wouldn't have it any closer. We have 6,000 acres that backs up to the Wagner where there is zero hunting. We have water and electricity and quail and audad and ducks and geese and cranes and dove and hogs and deer.....see what im getting at? You would be paying $40 an acre and not have anything to shoot at from the end of January till September and we pay less than $3 an acre and hunt quail till the end of February and snow geese till March and hogs 12mo out of the year. Just by driving another 2hrs! The hunting lease "brokers" are the scum of the earth in my opinion. They pay the land owner $1500 for the access and charge 6k to let 2 guys hunt it so stay away from the hunting lease websites. If they are running cattle on that place the person leasing it to run cows is paying less than you would be to hunt it and be turning a profit on the place....potentially. My advice is.... get farther away from DFW or... take that 3k and go down to the hill country and shoot a few exotics. There are plenty of $1k axis deer hunts down there. Do that until you find a better place/price. [/QUOTE]
