First off I completely understand that the process of finding a lease is a headache among other things.
Last year I was very fortunate to find a small lease a reasonable distance from where I live. It being my first time ever leasing I offered to help move timber during the off season, and actually got a little bit knocked off the price (which was a surprise). Recently I called the lease owner in regards to beginning payment on the new year. He told me he was planning on extending my lease to connect with some new land he had bought. The price he is looking for is way over what I can afford. I'm still hoping to maybe move my lease location to something that suits my price range, but I'm still preparing for the worse.
I am not asking for a handout. I understand first hand that having a lease is something you take pride in. Having someone who may not have put the amount of time, work, or money into the land hunt it isn't ideal. I completely understand that. My question is for people that may know of any land opening up in East Texas that I could hopefully contact an owner about.
I'm not in any way against having a lease with others, I've just never been able to work that out with anyone. With that said if there is anyone within 100 miles of Tyler who would like to possibly talk about something like that I'm very much interested. Worst case scenario I can hunt public land, but I'd still like to try my hand in getting out there and finding a place.
Any help would be much appreciated, and if anyone could point me in the right direction i'd be grateful. I've check every classified I have access to and have a membership to just about every lease website there is.
