Yes David, I like shooting big racks, who doesn't. And it just so happens I have enough money to buy land to "ensure a chance at a nice buck". Does that make me a bad guy? I don't think so, just the way of the world.

I'm sure up north the situation is different, but down here, land is still fairly easy to come by , you can join a lease for as little as a few hundred bucks a year. You probably won't kill a trophy, but you will see and harvest deer.

Personally, I like to trophy hunt, to do that your odds increase if you manage your own land. I'm doing and I have no regrets.

I do not feel sorry for the guy who doesn't own land, again, this is not a socialist society. There are other options, plenty of state lands and cheap leases.
