Medman7 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Good luck Tiger. You are on a hard persuit. All that I can tell you is to contact the Timber Companies and ask them for contact numbers on known leases on their lands. Otherwise you can start asking around and try to get on as many waiting lists as possible unless you can find some privat land and that is geting harder and harder. A few people showing out or poaching on private land has about stopped that for all hunters. Most of the Timber company lands renew in May or June as far as new leases and new member goes. Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOME GREAT STEWARDS OF LAND IP TURNED OUT TO BE.They are now investing heavily in BRAZIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medman7 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 It is really getting scarry what is going to happen to all of the hunting land the way it has been sold off the past couple of years. It rumored that some of these companies will start dirving the prices us into the $10-$15 per acre range over the next 5 years. They seem to be trying to run the common man out of a place to hunt. The future is getting blique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future is getting blique! Boy thats the truth. The high fence shooting farms have and are destroying the true hunting experience.Needlessly say I have a problem it. when those places are charging $5000 to $ 6000 per animal.to big city slickers who have know idea what the hunting experience is all about. the other land owners say why not me.To me hunting is more about the joy of the outdoors and joy of the hunt.Shooting a animal in a feed lot where it has no true freedom of the wild is not sport . Sorry did not mean to ramble just venting.no telling where prices are headed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medman7 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 The only other option is public land and going into the National Forrest this time of the year is a death wish. Make sure your life insurance is up before entering. There used to be a lot of Type II land in East Texas but about 10 years ago they dramatically cut back on that. You have to drive a good distance to get to any of it now days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I have never even had a semi scary situation. Well once I got lost but... Anyway, not only have I not had any bad experience I have never known, talked to, or even read about anyone being shot(much less killed) in the NF. What gives?

Medman7 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Maybe you were in a good spot. I do know of someone who got killed and know of the person that ended up in TDCJ for killing him. I also personally had the bark blown off of a pine tree in front of me while squirrel hunting a creek bottom. I bet I crawled on my knees for nearly 300 yards before I got back up. It is no rumor from my end. I have seen or delt with this personally. It gives alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrott752 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sam Houston National Forest. Sounds like you were in Baghdad National Forest. You look nothing like a squirrel.... Im assuming.

Medman7 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I was in the Davy Crockett in Houston County. I guess they though my brown hair was a fox squirrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
