Hmmm. Prices sound reasonable.
Texas is mostly private-land leasing, commonly by a group of friends. Pricing for a season can run in the $5/acre range, depending on size. Some of the larger ranches charge "per gun", at maybe $1,500 and up for the season. This commonly includes bird hunting and pond-fishing as well as the deer and javelina. And, if you see a mountain lion, well, we have too many of them for the habitat.
(Quail alert. I have a covey of blues running back and forth on my porch, waiting for the clock feeder to spray out grain.)
As a rule in the U.S., the animal belongs to the shooter, horns, hide, meat and all.
