While I realize that leasing a ranch for the usual Sep1 - Jan 2 Texas main hunting time can be expensive, a group can easily establish their own code of yeas and nays about how they hunt. Some weekends, if few were going to come and hunt, I'd take my wife and maybe a friend to just meddle around the 7,000 acres for the casual fun of it. Long time back, when leasing fees were more affordable.
We had a topo map of the ranch with all the stands marked. Each hunter had a stick pin with his name on a little flag. During the evening before a morning hunt, each guy would flag a stand. No problem, since we had more stands than hunters. Most folks left a stand an hour or two after sun-up and began walking hunting.
