Did the guy pay 9G for a high fence hunt or just a lease?

To each his own.If you have it and can afford it might as well spend it, who am I to judge the way someone spends his money.Every dollar spent helps the economy btw.

I know a guy here in Va that killed a nice 194" buck last bow seasoon in IL. Ok, so what's so crazy you ask??? He paid $9,000 to kill this deer!!! 9 G's on a freakin deer???!!!! Damn Im poor!! Even if I had $9,000 I would not spend it on one deer, yeh a 194" is great, but if I gotta pay for it, I don't want it, where is the economy going again?? I thought someone said it was bad?? huh, guess not for some.. sooo....who would pay it if they had it? who would not??
Was this the type of hunt where you basically choose what size deer you want to shoot (canned/ high fence), then pay according to what the antlers score? Either way, that's a bit much!;):D Too rich for my blood for just one hunt, and one buck. Also, I thinkspending a lotmoney for a lease is quite different in my eyes.

Yeah - $9k seems to be a lot of money for most, but not for some!
I paid $3,500 to hunt Texas last year, all inclusive without license and that was way more than I would have liked to pay.
That doesn't include flight, rental, mount, etc... But it was part of my 40th b-day present, x-mas, anniversary, etc. from my loving wife.
I truely have more gratification from shooting my little bucks in NH over the big 8-point in Texas.
Probably the blood, sweat and tears and anticipation of trudging thru the woods / scouting, so on and so fourth, that makes it more mine?
Verses sitting on a stand and watching 20-30 deer each morning, then again in the evening and waitng for Mr. BIG.
Don't get me wrong, I had a trip of a life time and was fortunate to be able to afford the trip and wouldn't give it back for anything.
It was also a cheaper hunt than most others I looked at, but none the less, $3,500.
So if you can do it without having your family sacrifice, then more power to you.

I agree Ed. I spend $5000to hunt Alberta which is a ton of money, but that's for 6 days of hunting/tags, GREAT food/lodging, air fare/overnight hotel stay. So it's not too crazy, I'm single.;):D:D
