Typically a lease gives you more options than Public land. A $1200 lease fits a budget better than trying to buy 10,000 acres of land. Unless your Rich 2:
first off, you will never own that land..and ya dont get 10,000 acres for $1200, lets be real. and how many deer do ya get fer $1200? even at 4, which is rare, its $300 a deer, which you can buy deer meat cheaper than that. public land is way cheaper and there is allot more of it. a couple million acres here in texas.
2nd there are rules..when ya can go, who ya can bring, where and when ya can shoot, what animals ya CAN harvest
3rd ya never know who is and is not supposed to be on the property at any given time. check the forums, people get there stuff stolen all the time...i know i know...even on private property, but when there are more people around, the more yer chances go up to becoming a victim.
finally, time to pay another $1200, or go take down all yer equipment and bag it up and take it home.
