Here Jeff I will start

Phone rang

Gary do you want in on my lease, the prices is x.

Let me talk it over with my wife and think about it.

Issues
1. Money -no problem Ihave the cash for the lease.
2.Are there deer there I want to shoot. See his book that is where he shot them all
3. Travel is 65 miles from my house
4. Time I am going to be away for weekends and not home.
5. Ease to hunt

Issue three was a big one for me, I would drive by Gas bill up a LOT. But more than bill was the time of getting there to my stand. Currently I can leave my house and be hunting in my tree in less than 30 mins. The new place would be just under two hours. Also the time coming home I would not be able to put the kids to bed.

Being away for more weekends was not going to work for Mrs. Germ or me.

Ease to hunt was even bigger. I would be using my climber, no easy climbs in hang on, no nice boat ride.

Even though I really wanted to hunt the place, it was not worth it to me from what I already hunt.

Has nothing to do with how much I want to shoot big bucks or how much I want it. It has to do with what is important to me. Is giving up what I listed above worth antler on the wall? I think not, and this is a choice we all make. My point is and always will be, we all have a choice
