Well dear bird, it appears that you get what you "pay" for LOL

But take heart! SOMEONE has to hit the lottery! Right?
I know a little bit about Larry and can pretty much assure you that you are way off on all of those thoughts. The man has put alot into his life, his land and his hunting. I may not agree with some of his past hunting experiences, but I know he's no slouch when it comes to getting the job done.

Fair enough. But please note that all of those were in the form of a question in response to what he posted. He was the first to suggest that I buy my bucks but he has yet to explain what he meant by that

However, if he does do all those things as you say, he "buys" his bucks just like he's claimed that I do. Maybe he just needs to be a "smarter shopper"

So BB, we're still waiting. Just what is your definition of "buying a buck"


Funny when the bird gets put on the spot, the only chirp we hear is from the crickets.........

Sun nite we saw 18 bucks in that same field and one was an OMG! BOONER! three more 150+ and 3-4 in the 130's

Looks like a banner year coming up in my little corner of the midwest
That's what I call buying a buck and i felt the same way when we paid to have exclusive hunting rights on a specific area of a ranch in Wyoming,even tough we hunted on our own and didn't have a guide. The bucks were big but they weren't half as smart as PA whitetails and although I really enjoyed the hunts , I didn't value the trophies as much as I would a nice 8 pt. PA whitetail.

BTW. I have posted on several occasions all the work I do to improve the habitat on our land but you choose to ignore it. The big difference is our land is open to all of the neighbors and their land is open to our group. So, once again you are flat out wrong about the efforts I put forth to improve the habitat for the deer.

"That's what I call buying a buck "

Yep. Thatd fit my definition as well. All that is missing is the plastic wrap and price tag stuck on the bucks arse.

Well now, you two buffoons have gone and put the "ass" in assume! The crow is in the roaster once again boys!!!!

You haven't got the smallest clue about the property I hunt. LOL!

What was it in my post that fit your definitions?

So, does everyone who hunts private land "buy" their buck?

Does it have to cost dollars to fit your definition or are time and effort included in your definition of "buying a buck"?

Is it just the guys who go out of the state?

Does it include those who bought their land with hunting in mind?

How about the guy who has a buddy with private land?

Will you be having your humble pie ala mode?

you paid for the lease you paid for the food plots and you restrict the number of hunters so you can have 18 buck in one field. That ,IMHO qualifies as buying a buck.
