To high?

[drew02a]

150-170 regularly. Very very doubtful in that area.

Agree

Have hunted that area for the last 3 seasons and the deer top out around 120

[4_Fingers]

Nope

[AntlerCollector]

It's made me decide to NOT lease it out. I'll let friends hunt it.

I want to be your friend too


Sounds like you have a great place. Congrats. To answer your question $4k is not too high on a place that took the deer you're talking about last year.

Good luck to you Clint! I know they are there!

Too high?

Then you dont hunt around my area.

a 147 and a 172 off a 50 acre place is amazing. Do you mind sharing pics of these?

Very hard to do on such small acreage

Saw the big one during bow season but couldnt ever make it happen. He was taken about a half a mile away during gun season. Can you just take my word for it?

You know, I think you've got 2 chances to EVER see any pics of his deer, SLIM and NONE... I don't think you understand plainly written English or something...

Lol. I've hunted with the OP a few times and seen deer on his wall that have come this property and other places he hunts around there. Just because you can't believe it doesn't mean it isn't true.

So the 172 was seen but not taken on the 50 acres?

Now im stirring the pot. Took a 150 12 the year before and let my friend shoot a 145 10.

Would anyone pay $4000 for something like this?
Almost 50 acres south of Brownwood with very large neighbors. Has quality deer every year (150s-170s). Goes from Oct 1 to Jan 15. Has stand in place and feeders been going all year. Oats and peas are in the ground and growing. No lodging but Power and water are there. Rvs allowed. No guest unless its immediate family. No livestock. Price is $4000. Nobody but leaser will be on land during the season.

If you are guaranteed a 150s-170s buck, or at least a shot at one, then yes, it is worth $4000.

Brownwood is a very popular hunting area, but the bucks are not adnormally large. I'd consider them to be average compared with the rest of the state. That being said, with proper management you can get nice bucks anywhere. To have proper management, you would need about 400 acres minimum low-fenced. The point in saying this is that if there are 150s-170s bucks on the property, the property is too small to keep the bucks only on that property without a high fence.

My family owns several small parcels, and this has been the case for us. In 2013, my father harvested a buck grossing 158. There was another buck on the property scoring in the 160s that was taken in 2015 by a hunter on an adjacent tract. This is a 200 acre tract with adequate food, water, and shelter. It is surrounded by neighborhoods and cattle farms, but 200 acres is simply not large enough to prevent a buck from leaving the property.

Correct. He lived on it all summer and during bow season. He decided to leave during gun season. My neighbor got him.

Not as good as other years. The river was up all the time and made it hard on us.
