Whats a good price to charge for a deer lease on a 28 acre plot? Also about how many people would be able to be in there at once?

That all depends on the area, what the land looks like and when it was last hunted...Like said that is not much land but for one maybe 2 people it would work...Seems a few years back there was a moster killed on a lease that was only 15 acres....

Wow. 28 acres? It really has little to do with the 28 acres, but what's surrounding it. We have 17 hunters on our lease, but we all have our own areas of about 300 acres a piece. And even then it sometimes seems a little stacked with hunters.

Which amo should I use for the 30-06?
Have a box of each.

Monarch SPRG 150Gr Softpoint

Remington Express Core-Lokt 180Gr

Good luck everyone. I'm sitting in the open at 28 degrees.

You're gonna freeze! See anything yet?

10 does and two shooter bucks. One came up and sniffed me. I was afraid to roll over and look behind me. All I heard was a snortwheeze.

I waited and looked back to see a group of deer behind me at about 350. If I would have had some reloads and more trigger time I would have drilled one. I let them walk.

I just can't shoot unless I know its going to die. A lot of peope drive deer here but I don't. So they will all eventually funnel to my land. I've got until the 11'th to put two does down.

Heading back out tonight.

BTW 2000 gram boots and carhart arctic bibs and coat and some thermals I'm good for -12 degrees. I can get a hour before I start getting to cold.

28 acres surrounded by woods open wooded land, It's in pearl tx. I was thinking about maybe 1-2 people for the season. There's a lot of deer in the area, and now hogs are starting to fill in the area too.

wow that's WAY down south of Dallas

well we have 4 hunters on 200 acres and we pay $350 a gun... opening weekend is the only weekend that we would ever have all 4 guns there though.. usually it is just 2 at a time just because of everyone's schedules.

350 for the entire season? or just the weekend?

We went last weekend to my brother's lease and it was nice! He has a 5th wheel set up with electricity and everything so that made it much more bearable for me and his wife while the boys were hunting. Satellite TV, coffee and peace. It was glorious.

He has about 330 acres with exclusive rights to it so it's usually just him.
