What do you think about this lease?

[LuBowhunter]

I have a chance to lease 2000 acres in the mt home area the lease has box blinds feeders feeder pens turkey feeders and alfalfa feeders in place already have to add bow blinds it has a house with electric gas and water with my spot i would be allowed 1 wt buck 1 wt doe 1 axis buck and doe 1 sika buck and doe, 1 black buck and doe, 1 fallow buck and doe, 1 ram, 1 goat, unlimited hogs and 2 turkeys all low fence looked at the property this weekend i saw over 40 animals and i seen at least one of every kind of exotic on the place it hasnt been hunted in 2 years they are asking for 4000 a spot with out corn or alfalfa what do yall think?

[LuBowhunter]

forgot to add that they only want to put five hunters on the whole place

If you add up the values of the exotics PLUS having a good whitetail lease, I'd say it's a bargain.

You could safely figure $1200 for each male exotic and $200 for each female exotic. That's already $5600. 1 ram @ $500, 1 goat at $400 ... you're up to $6500 ... and you haven't even touched the native animals.

Sounds pretty good, hope your good freinds with a taxidermist!!!

Those 7 shoulder mounts ... about $2850.00

Sounds like a good value to me. More than most people can pay for a lease, but then again, you're getting a lot more too. There's a lot of folks paying $1,200-1,800 for the deer, turkey and hogs only and stacking one hunter per 100 acres. You're at one hunter per 400 acres! So you throw in the exotics and ALL THAT ELBOW ROOM and I'd say, heck yes, it's worth it.

If I could afford such a place I would jump on it. Sounds like a dream place. My only concern would be the quality of white tail on the place.

For that cash I would hope to be knocking some big deer down.

[LuBowhunter]

while we were looking at the property i saw several nice wt for the hill country the biggest one i estimated in the mid 140's

[Rattler]

If I had the Cash it would be a no brainer for me!

[Chance Love]

Man, that was a long sentence...Anyway, it sounds like a really good deal. Whole lotta bang for the buck. And a mid-140's is pretty good anywhere. If you've got the pocketbook for it, I say jump on it. TT broke it down pretty good. The only thing I saw he had wrong was the price of the seven shoulder mounts, should be closer to $3600.

Lubowhunter,

If cost is an issue, and they will let you split of the fee and game taken, I am moving to Beaumont real soon and would be interested in going in it with you.

Sounds like it would be fun year of hunting.

Good luck.

[Chunky]
