I gotta tell you something to consider though. I own land that is primarily used for hunting. I literally pay thousands in taxes for it. I also have other tracts that I have permission to hunt. Many times I think to myself that I could take two of these $2,000 trips per year that we are speaking of in prime whitetail land which would include lodging and meals. Or I could get a prime lease inmy area and keep it for myself and have some $$$ left over.
this is exactly how I am looking at it. I am considering buying a camp with a small chunk of land(50-100 acres). As much fun as all the scouting would be and the feeling of owning(well the bank owning) some land for hunting would be, I could take a trip out west and hunt every year.Not to mention I would have to buy land upstate where I could afford it and then any time I wanted to use it would require a 2 to 3 hour drive each way which would get old real quick.

IA....I don't care how YOU do it. Just don't make it seem like someone doing it "another" way is doing something "inferior"......because his waydoesn't fit into your cookie-cutter ideology.

Hunt any way you want....and keep an open mind to others. That was the jist of the thread.

That may be the funniest spin I've ever seen you do here. Your posts as of late have become quite obnoxious and arrogant as has already been pointed out to you several times. While you may think you have elevated yourself to a point of privilege of talking down to forum members, I can assure you it won't have your desired affect with me.
You've gone from a respectable member here to a condenscending boob in short order. Grow up

Do you guys read the threads.....or just form an opinion from the title? There's some pretty good stuff back in the pages (and a very simple explanation of my intention with this post). How do you put a spin on what's easily reviewed....if you'd take the time?

Tell ya what.....after you read it.....tell me the part you have an issue with.

Its not about the kill, or about the hunintg of the "Same animal"
For me its about the observation. Some of the things I see when I am in my stand, people wouldnt believe. and there is something special about that.
And every deer is differnent. To me i never saw the point of going into a hot arid environment, finding a watering hole, stalking up to it and shooting an animal.
Lets put it this way. There are numerous publications DEDICATED to whitetail deer. they are simply the most challenging game animal out there.
There is a couple mags dedicated to africa as a whole, and redstags might get an article. But there is nothing in the world like whitetail hunting. and if you are hunting just for the kill and only hunting "one animal" when you go out, I think you might be in it for the wrong reasons.

Just my opinion, but I would guess that the reason that there are more magazines dedicated to whitetails are because they are everywhere.
