Just do some searches online for season long limited hunter number leases in Texas. Generally the higher the quality of the deer population the higher the price. Have seen 6 hunters on 400 acres for the season for 500 each on land with mediocre population. 10 hunters on 5000 acres with medium quality population for 6000/ hunter. Friend was on a lease of 33,000 acres with 20 hunters at 13,000/ hunter, high quality population, remote and damgerous from a smuggling perspective. Same property now has 10 hunters at 20,000+/ hunter, had too many hunter conflicts so reduced the number of hunters and upped the price. Keep in mind in Texas the main revenue from many of these ranches is raising cattle or oil/gas lease compared with the midwest where most or all revenue is row crop. Cattle will coexist with deer,turkey and hogs in the same pastures. Once the corn and beans are picked habitat may be nonexistent. Fence lines and associated habitat are long gone from most of the midwest.
As others have said, I have hunted WIHA properties in SW Kansas and have not been impresssed with habitat quality compared with properties in the same area that are leased by commercial hunting operators that sell day bird hunts. The landowner either has to be rewarded financially for developing the habitat or the operator bears that expense and charges appropriately for the investment. The state is simply paying for access to land that in many cases holds no wildlife due to farming practices.
