Most people never even get to hunt 100 acres let alone 1200. I could put you on a mountain top and your buck could be on another mountain top.
First off, you'll never get me on a 1200 acre high fence ranch even if you gave me the shoot for free. Second, if I did a hunt (as compared to a shoot) and came away empty handed, it wouldn't bother me at all. I've been skunked many times. I once spent an entire season in CO with a bighorn tag in my pocket looking for a big ram I'd seen exactly once. I never found him and I have the tag framed on the wall. That's because I was hunting a free ranging animal and not one contained in a pen.
If my game is on another mountain top and I don't see it, that is fine because game is supposed to roam around freely and not be trapped behind wire. I wouldn't have any self respect if I had to pay you $$$ to pen up a deer for me to shoot. I'd rather salvage a road kill, it would be more honest. The sport is called hunting. It isn't called penning, shooting and killing.
What you sell is many things but hunting isn't one of them.
