In Texas more than 98% of the hunting lands are owned by private owners and can only be used with their permission. You may get lucky and know someone, or befriend someone who lets you hunt their property for free, but more than likely you will need to pay for a lease to gain access to these lands. The reason behind this is that hunting leases can provide a steady supplemental income to the owners which make them able to pay their property taxes and other expenses. Another perk is they are able to have the hunters largely take care of the property and manage the species to improve the hunting. Unless the owners hunt themselves or use the property for something, they will likely lease it to you if they don’t already have it leased. Luckily for landowners, there is not shortage of hunters to let lease their land. Texas is one state that is likely the center of attention for a huge amount of hunters, many of which visit it every year for hunting large and small animals. There are more than 1.3 million licensed hunters in Texas who welcome a great opportunity to hunt big games like White-tailed Deer, Mule Deer, Javelina, and Alligators throughout the year. Most of the hunting leases provide leverage to the hunters to bring their dogs for hunting rabbits, hares, squirrel fur bearing animals, predators, and game birds (other than turkey). According to some fair stats every year $3.4 billion are contributed to the wealth of this state with the help of hunting activities out of which $1.4 billion comes out by selling the hunting equipment and the rest $2 billion is earned by giving the lands on lease. This plays a great role in improving the economic conditions of this state. Do your part by signing your very own Texas hunting lease.
