Ok - there are other options other than a state park. Maybe a WMA, that are could probably use some public hunting opportunities as well

Not a bad idea but I think the 6 deer that live there would get smoked pretty quick.

Just for whatever, ducks, maybe a hiking trail, maybe a trail ride an atv, then you can go camp at sandlin if you want

They should put a powerplant on it and help with the electric grid shortfalls.

You don’t need a power plant, just a Tesla

I wouldn't buy a lot or build a house on Monticello unless you want to look at transmission lines. That's all that’s left.

Speaking like a Democrap.

Perhaps the developers could purchase all the deer located in Texas from the State or TPWD and call them a privately owned resource that is only to be enjoyed by the wealthy. Amazingly, Swans in England are still considered property of the King or Queen….you just can’t have commoners eating or killing what was once considered a rich person meal.

Buying public land doesn't need to make any sense. It's not to make a profit or even support itself. It's for the use of the people who pay taxes and the general public.

It would be public land being bought because we pay our taxes and we deserve to get a return besides supporting the poor, financing shi**y public schools and building roads.

Im about the furthest thing from a democrat. It was a joke.

I have no idea why people driving teslas think they are making the environment better.

The state should 100 percent buy it. The ROI is happy citizens. I'm of the opinion that the state should set aside funds annually targeted at purchasing property that will allow public access for fishing, hunting, recreation for its citizens. I'm blessed to hunt a great private ranch. There are many who are not and public hunting access should be something they work towards also. The revenue the state collects should be used whenever possible to benefit the citizens of Texas, or reduce taxes.......
