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....

How dare someone buy their own land and do what they want with it[&:]

Some of you watch to much TV

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.

Beautiful Bowhunter.

Looking at the Redman website almost made me sick.

Anybody have a couple hundred acres that I can use to make a deer farm here in PA?

I am a pretty good cook!!!!

2 bucks, 168k, and appreciatingvalue, with an actual income of 3k per year and many more years and buck sto come...Priceless!! Excellent business sense. You have got me thinking now!

285 acres bought in 1860 1.00 an acre = 285 bucks

Now worth close to 5000 grand an acre

all it takes is money....

I quit watching a lot of HUNTING TV a long time ago.. I'd love to drag guys like Warren out west on a public land DIY whitetail bowhunt and throw him out in the forest and say...go get em big boy... best of luck...

I agree that your method is better and seemingly more profitable. But it doesn't bother me if someone is willing to pay for antlers. Seems it bothers a lot of folks around here.

Germ,

That is definetly me. That looks like it could have been a real good motley crew.

Germ, 1860? You must be getting up there in age!
