Thanks, Mollye, I appreciate it, I will keep you informed. I agree, never in a hurry. I've been sitting on the offer since July and there is an email in to their landman, Brad Carter, for a more current bonus offer. This is our only property in New Mexico, so I am working blind with this one. My experience lately has been similar to yours with lease bonus improvements as well as RI. Upton Co Texas started at $500 acre, 3/16ths and we ended up with 8,000 and 1/4. I love my landman, Patti West, who negotiated that one! This forum and the NARO site are the ones I depend upon most for current lease offers.
