I have returned to Texas after a 20 year stint in Georgia.   My wife and I both hunt.  We live in Denton area and are looking for a lease.  We would join a club and were very impressed with the Big Bear Hunting Club in Southeast Texas but really would rather hunt Hill Country or North Texas.  At this point we may have to take something around 300 hundred to 500 hundred acres by ourselves.   We are set out of state this year but would take a lease now just to get established.

Deer hunting is important but we both likely have now taken the biggest Whitetail we are ever going to.  We have no problem passing on young bucks.  They deer shot last year were 5 years and 7 years old.  We know how to pass the young and small deer up.   We do want a couple of deer in the freezer each year however and that mean management buck or doe.  Doe tag availability is a must if we are going to pass on the young bucks.  Hog, turkey, and dove are the next priority.  A place to park and camp in our rig is important also.

The problem we are finding here ( and on this site) is that it is just so commercial.  We do not want or need guided hunts and aren't interested in the big buck prices as we have ours.

Where do you start looking?  I have had no luck on this site.   Have looked on bulletin boards in local feed stores and sporting goods stores as well.   Just someone please point me in the right direction.  

Any help is appreciated.
