Economic and operational characteristics of recreational leasing in the Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains of Texas Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Ranching operators in parts of Texas that leased recreational hunting were interviewed to determine the type of leasing system used and associated costs. Results indicate a bias in ranchers towards harvesting deer bucks as the marketing strategy rather than reducing non-cash (grazing opportunity costs) by reducing the deer herd. Some 47% of respondents said they would attempt to reduce deer numbers for range management. -from Authors
