Manulife Hancock Forest Lands in Oregon to become Fee Access only!

I'm not understanding what you are trying to say I don't think?

Paying $3500 to be the 8th guy on a 500 acre lease in west central Texas with a chance to have two box blinds designated as yours and MAYBE shoot a 135-140" buck every other year is a hard no for me. Not how I like to hunt, and not a good value.

Yeah, we all like free stuff.

At the risk of trying to rationalize with a stranger on the internet I still don't get what you are saying?

When I lived in Texas I hunted on the National Forest in the eastern portion of the state and spent money on western hunts every year. I perceived a lot more value in spending 2k and going to Montana on an archery elk hunt on millions of acres of public land than being constrained to a small parcel closer to home for nearly twice as much and shooting a deer coming to a corn feeder.

Do you own a lease and you think you provide a good value? Maybe for your tenants you do! They don't have to drive, don't have to walk, can drive right up to what they shoot, and get to be home for supper. No shame in that. Not my cup of tea.
