Fresh Texas Hunting Leases This Week: 8,500+ Acres Just Hit the Board
September 16, 2026
Deer season is bearing down on us — bow openers are just weeks away — and this week's batch of new listings is one of the strongest spreads we've seen all summer. Seven fresh leases landed on the board, covering everything from South Texas brush country to Hill Country creek bottoms to the Piney Woods, with acreage running from a tight 5-acre family setup all the way up to a 5,300-acre managed trophy ranch. If you're still looking for a place to hang a stand this fall, keep reading.
310 Acres in Zapata County — Year-Round South Texas Lease
South Texas brush country, the way it's supposed to be. This ~310-acre ranch sits right off Highway 83 between Zapata and San Ygnacio, split into three adjoining sections of roughly 110 acres each — plenty of elbow room for a hunting group. It's partially high-fenced, laced with wide ranch roads, and holds a pond with year-round water (weather permitting). There's even a designated spot for a hunting camp and BBQ pit. The game list is pure South Texas: whitetail deer, hogs, Rio Grande turkey, dove, and quail — and because it's an annual lease, you can enjoy it all four seasons.
260 Wooded Acres in San Jacinto County — Near Lake Livingston
Piney Woods hunters, this one's for you. A 260-acre block of mature East Texas forest near Lake Livingston, with a clear creek running through the middle and a road system that makes getting around easy. San Jacinto is a two-buck, two-doe county, and this year-round lease covers all legal species plus recreational use — the landowner welcomes family activities, and the property will comfortably host four to five hunters or more if you've got a crew.
Two 600-Acre Properties in Scurry County — Deer and Quail Country
Out in the Rolling Plains near Ira, two separate properties of roughly 600 acres each are up for grabs — take one, or take both if your group wants serious ground. The landowner reports strong numbers of both whitetail and quail across the two tracts, and each comes with RV hookups so your camp is sorted from day one. Your group gets exclusive rights to the property, and you can run it year-round.
1,500 Acres in Northern Blanco County — First Time Available in 30 Years
Leases like this don't come around often — literally. This 1,500-acre Hill Country ranch hasn't been on the market in three decades. Cypress Creek runs through the middle of the property, high hills rise at the far end, and the topography changes constantly in between. There's a two-bedroom hunters' cabin with bunk beds, and the neighboring properties see little to no hunting pressure. It's a working cattle ranch with a serious management flavor: hunters can set stands and run protein through the summer while horns are growing, and the harvest allowance is five mature bucks (four years or older) plus all the long spikes and hogs you can find. Capped at six hunters.
5.2 Acres in Lamar County — The Perfect Father-and-Kid Setup
Don't let the acreage fool you. This small, heavily wooded tract sits in the center of a 1,000-acre block of timber northeast of Paris, where three dry creeks come together right on the property. There's already a stand in place, and Lamar is a four-deer county. It's limited to two hunters, which makes it exactly what it sounds like: an affordable, low-pressure spot to get a son or daughter into the deer woods this season. Bring an ATV or a 4x4 for wet weather.
One Spot Open on a 5,300-Acre MLD Trophy Lease — Duval/Webb County
Here's the heavyweight of the week. A single spot has opened on a 5,300-acre managed (MLD) trophy deer lease straddling Duval and Webb counties. This low-fence ranch typically produces bucks in the 150–170 class on wet years, with a ranch-best 190. It's about as turnkey as a South Texas lease gets: all blinds and feeders provided, electric and water hookups in place, and cottonseed, protein, and feeder corn included — just bring your travel trailer and your throw corn. Beyond the deer, you've got quail, dove, hogs, and javelina, and the lease runs year-round. Family friendly, guests allowed.
Also New This Week
A seasonal deer lease just ten minutes from the Toyota plant has hit the board with six blinds and feeders already in place — bow hunting starts October 3, rifle runs November 6 through February 28. If you want a close-to-town spot with the infrastructure already done, this is it.
Every one of these properties is listed now on Texas Hunting Lease Listings, with full details, maps, and how to get in touch with the landowners. Openers are coming fast — if one of these fits your group, don't sit on it. The good ones never last long.
Good luck out there, and shoot straight.
