Horses are for the retirement ranch. When my wife and I first met, I adopted 2 mustangs off the range in Nevada, she broke the good one, the other broke itself, but to my wifes credit, she named it alpo the first time she laid eyes on it.
My wife spent 2 years in some upstate college in New York learning horses, until she realized she couldn't make a living at it.....she barrel raced in High School.
And I, I cut cattle for a few years after High School, I'd rather have a Harley Nowadays!
My kids 529 gets more every month at the moment than momma gives me in allowance!
When I went to College, all my Dad gave me was a handshake!

By the way, hey Ohana, stay away, I'm trying to make friends and influence people here, don't want none of ya runnin em off!

Bentex,
Well I am a hunter, but whats the deal with the hunting lease's? Do you need to be Independantly wealthy man to Hunt? or is there public land easily accessed?
Back home in Idaho, access to great hunting on someones land was easy, I knew everyone, and the "lease" thing was not common practice. Except my pheasant grounds, 6 people, 5000 acres, only allowed to bring 2 friends at a time with you. $50 a year(I did milk cows for a year for the rancher after High School). Bobwhite Quail so fat they couldn't fly! usually shot 60 so pheasants a year and never kept track of the quail. Still the best kept secret back home, as my good bud took my slot when I left, along with 3 dozen bigfeet decoys!!

It can be expensive if you want to get a permanant lease from a land owner. This is mainly becaue of the big game hunting and the privacy factor. Deer hunting is so popular here that people can charge big bucks to hunt big bucks.

I dont actually have a lease because one of my best friends' family owns 700 acres in Haskell County.

You can save money by doing day hunts or hunting on public land. You can do day hunts for all of the game offered in that area. Some farmers dont offer permanant leases, but you can pay $50.00 to hunt hogs only, if they charge you at all. Hogs are a major problem to farmers due to overpopulation.

Also, Texas has a public hunting program that gives you access to public hunting land that only cost's around $40.00 a year for the permit. Check out this link for more info

Let me know if you need any help!
