I quit hunting Texas leases years ago due to the rise in lease prices and the difficulty finding the smaller acreage places acreage that the group I hunt with could afford. Last Tx lease I participated in was on 2000 acres of land near Ft. Mc Kavette (sp) Tx. The owner high fenced it in 2009, so the group I hunted with never even considered leasing it after that. We hunt only free range. A person I know very well has the hunting lease on that place now. The cost now is a whopping $80,000. That is almost 4X what we paid 8 years ago.
