Glad I've never had to pay for hunting land...I'd probably just fish and book a hunt or 2 if I had to pay for a club or lease

Glad I've never had to pay for hunting land...I'd probably just fish and book a hunt or 2 if I had to pay for a club or lease I’m seriously considering just booking a yearly trip to Texas or some other state and just hunt close to home maybe public land. The cost of a quality lease way to painful these days,

The cost of a quality lease way to painful these days, All this season change bs, along with the popularity of the traveling hunters these days, Texas itself is a harder nut to crack than you think. When you do find a quality place (there’s plenty that will take your money and they are t quality) the price is getting higher every and higher.

When you do find a quality place (there’s plenty that will take your money and they are t quality) the price is getting higher every and higher. Evidently, a lot of folks are using this train of thought. I hunted Kansas 5 consecutive years until about 3 years ago. It was almost a foregone conclusion you'd get drawn. I talked to the outfitter about a month ago and 25% of his booked hunters failed to draw. He is changing his business. He is booking fewer hunters, repeat only, and is staggering them every other year. One group will hunt this year while the second group buys preference points. The second group will hunt next year while the first group buys points. Paying for and preparing leases then losing the hunters hurt him pretty bad.

I think you can plant the right rotation of food, and cut your costs. For instance. If you plant some form of clover, you basically have food year round. Then in the fall, plant cereals and brassica's, and some annual clovers. The cereals will decompose in the spring and feed your clover, and the clover fixes nitrogen which helps your creals and brassicas.
It may take a couple years to get there, but you shouldn't have to fertilize as much, and if you lime and get your PH right, its even easier. I started switching to clover 2 years ago, and really hit it hard last fall, and have really good stands established. The deer wear it out too.
