I don't see any difference between paying $32K for two racks and buying a piece of property and not killing the small bucks to let them grow, feed them mineral to grow them big, pay the taxes on the land, etc....
Everyone keep prizing the antlers on a deer's head! I'll keep filling my freezer for the cost of a tag. Which in Michigan is becoming outrageous....

Here is the difference. I hunt on my own land, no one else hunts it. I control it. I let the little bucks go so they can get bigger. 135 acres@ $1250/acre =$168K paid 5 years ago. Nowproperty is going forclose to $4k an acre. 135 x 4000=$540,000.I grow my investment and grow my deer! Taxes are $69 year andGovernment pays me $3K per yearfor my trees in CRP.You can see the money grow and here isthe first two bucks I took off my property.
