Five New Texas Leases This Week: South Plains Mule Deer, a Turnkey Childress Setup, and North Texas Whitetail
October 1, 2026
Bow season opens this Saturday, and the list just got five new reasons to skip the scramble. This week's arrivals run from the South Plains to the South Texas brush: a rare two-county mule deer lease out west, a fully rigged rifle-season setup in Childress County, two North Texas tracts within easy reach of DFW, and a small-party brush country lease down in Brooks County. If you're still without a spot, this is the week to fix that.
176 Acres Across Hockley and Hale Counties — A True Mule Deer Lease
Mule deer leases don't come up often, and this one comes with a twist worth paying attention to: it's two separate tracts, leased together as one package. Roughly 86 acres in Hale County and 90 acres in Hockley County give you two distinct properties to hunt — more options when the wind's wrong, less pressure on any one spot, and more room to stay on deer as their patterns shift through the season. The ground itself is a mix of agricultural fields, natural cover, travel corridors, and open country, and it comes as a blank canvas: set it up your way with feeders, cameras, shooting houses, or hunt it DIY. Both tracts go together — this isn't offered piecemeal. For a West Texas mule deer hunter who likes to run his own program, this is the one.
Childress County — Rifle Season, Fully Rigged and Ready
Some leases hand you dirt. This one hands you a complete setup. This Childress County rifle-season whitetail lease comes loaded: a big tower box blind, two raised platform box blinds, and four large ground blinds — all of them positioned over running feeders. The cover runs heavy where it should and opens up where you want it, and here's the kicker: the property wasn't hunted last season. It'll hunt five at once with room for a group of up to six, so it's tailor-made for a crew that wants to show up opening morning and climb straight into a blind. Southern Oklahoma hunters, take note — it's barely over an hour from Lawton.
100 Acres in Montague County — Year-Round Variety Near Bowie
This one's for the hunter who doesn't want the season to end. A hundred acres outside Bowie with a game list that covers the calendar: whitetail, turkey, hogs, ducks, and geese. Four stock tanks anchor the property — one with a nice fishing dock — and there's a good camping spot with water and electricity, so you can make a weekend of it without roughing it. The landowner is looking to add two guns. Deer in the fall, waterfowl in the winter, hogs whenever — it's hard to find this much variety on a hundred acres.
90 Acres in Wise County — Five Minutes from Lake Bridgeport
An hour from Dallas or Fort Worth puts this 90-acre Bridgeport tract squarely in after-work-hunt territory. The groundwork's already done: a one-man stand and a two-man stand are up, two feeders are running, and the landowner reports plenty of deer. Three spots are open. For a Metroplex hunter tired of three-hour drives, a lease five minutes from Lake Bridgeport is about as convenient as it gets.
62 Acres in Brooks County — South Texas Brush, Three Hunters Only
Down in Encino, in the heart of South Texas brush country, a 62-acre deer lease is taking just three hunters for the upcoming season. Small acreage, small party, low pressure — the kind of place where the brush does the work and you don't have to share it with a crowd. South Texas spots like this get spoken for fast, and with only three slots on the whole property, this one won't sit long.
Every one of these properties is listed now on Texas Hunting Lease Listings, with full details and how to get in touch. The bow opener is days away, the rifle opener is coming fast behind it, and the good ones never last — if one of these fits your group, move on it.
Good luck out there, and shoot straight.
