Tom, $750 and a fifth is not necessarily a low ball offer for CV in your area.  There are some details that inform what is a reasonable offer like your number of acres and current CV activity in your immediate vicinity.  I suggest you post the name of the company making the offer.  I find it always better to lease to the operator whether directly or through a land company working on their behalf.  Now that the email notice function is working again, I suggest you post this discussion in the Rusk group also.  I'll post the link to the group page below.  You need to join the group to post a new discussion.  If there is current CV production in your immediate vicinity the royalty is likely a more important lease term than the bonus per acre.  If you are in a desirable location and have enough acres to provide some negotiating power, I'd suggest you counter with a nine fortieths (22.5%) royalty. If your lease turns out to be productive, the royalty will be worth much more than the bonus in the long run.
