Between 1979 and 2001, I did my whitetail hunting on acreage I owned in Webb County. For 20 Years before that, I leased hunting rights like most other Texas deer hunters. I sold the property in 2000 and suddenly found myself without a place to hunt. This didn't trouble me for the first season, and my wife and I got nice invitations from ranch-owning friends, so we didn't go without venison.
