Default RE: POLL: Can you buy hunting success?

One last thing I was just thinking about in regards to quick's comment about the Drury's leasing ground if a 200" deer is spotted on it. If in fact this is true, which I have heard this several times, and if money can indeed buy success, then why do neither of them have a 200" deer on their wall?

Here you havetwo of themost widely recognized and unquestionably successful professional deer hunters in the world, hunting the best farms that money can buy, and granted they kill some giants, but nothing in the 200 class. Clearly if all it took was money, they'd have a plethora of them hanging above the fireplace, no?

They are not buying success, they are buying the opportunity to be able to put themselves in a position to achieve success, and I don't blame them or anyone else who does the same one bit. You'll never be successful at meeting your own personal goals if the animals you want to harvest don't exist where you hunt. And if it takes money to get those places, then I guess that's just the way life is. The haves, and the have-nots.
