WOW!!! Thats 40.00 an acre! High even by most Texas standards!
High fence, "trophy" ranches can probably get that kind of pricing, especially with 10-15 thousand-dollar "package hunts."
The problem is that with the expanding popularity of Whitetail hunting is that "someone" is always willing to out bid you for the hunting rights!
I once had a Sonora Texas season lease that was 1000 per hunter, with each hunter having 250-300 acres to hunt! (that was considered cheap even then.) Not anymore!
I recently called about a Hill Country lease that ended up being 3000 per gun. Barely 40 acres per gun! Outrageous!
Even the East Texas Timber companies are charging 8.00 an acre now!
