LOL, my normal joke here is I would do it...if someone else wants to do treasurer.

I would be glad to help someone, but you need someone who can devote a good amount of time to it. Especially when you are first getting started. A retired guy or someone with more time would be better.

But thanks for thinking of me as a stand up guy.

OK I'm reposting as I discovered the second page.
Duh.

I agree with a lot of the comments above in terms of a lease manager.

For $2,700/bowhunter Chunky's question as to whether they have that many trophy bucks or not is really valid. I might also add these:

1. What does he consider a cull? I know one lease that called any 8 pt a cull. They had some 140 class eights.

2. Is this a year round lease? By that does it include hog? Javelina? Dove, quail, etc. Is it ok to shoot predators (bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions)

3. Any accomodations and other amenities?

4. Also I think that Chunky raised a good point about the term. Would this be a year to year lease or would he consider a longer term like five years? I know that many ranchers don't want to commit too long, but if the ranch has been hunted hard and after a few years of bowhunting big bucks start appearing, someone might chase the bowhunters off with big bucks of their own. The deal has to work for both.

If it's a good lease with a fair chance for a trophy buck and with a chance for long term management it could be a really good deal. Leases in Dimmit are not cheap. To me it depends though on the items above.

All those questions and concerns would have to be worked out between the owner and lease manager. Which is where I need to go from here by trying to find one for him. I may have to come back and ask if anyone has heard of the person I find.

Do you know Chris Brown and his father Mike? Last I heard they were looking for a lease and I think they would be good.

I don't believe I know them. But then I find as I get older I need to meet someone more than once to recall I DO know them!

If you think they would be interested I will PM you with this owners info.

Chunky · 06-27-2008, 11:18 AM

I will send them an e-mail as well.

NDNRoger · 06-27-2008, 12:30 PM

PM sent! Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation guys, however I picked up a new lease a few weeks ago.

Dad is still in the market, so I will tell him to check this thread.

Thanks,
Chris
