I'm basically in the same situation. That's pretty much how it is on E. TX leases. And if you happen to be a new guy on the lease, youHAVE to takewhat's left over, or what someone else is giving up. There are some things about leases that just sucks. Ya just have to keep trying! I have not taken a deer with my bow off this lease, YET. Maybe this year though! I've seen a few, nothin big, but decided to pass at the time. Not this time, I'm out of venison!
