Great episode guys. Glad you liked the calls. This topic is a tricky one and there is no right answer. But, people need to understand that just because something is legal doesn't mean it is right. I struggle every year with this. I expect people to have the same morals and ethics as me, but I have to understand that not everyone grew up like I did. Also, on the public versus private issue. Coming from Pennsylvania most of the private gets just as much pressure as the public. But, if you put your time in you can still get on nice deer. Hope you all have a Happy New Year. God bless.
Merry Christmas guys! Thanks for my sticker with the Christmas note with my podcast shirt! Is it too late to get a XXL? lol too many Christmas cookies! What it comes down to is “Money talks and people listen!” But whatever each of us can afford we just need to accept that others can afford different scenarios. The only thing I disagree with is when folks pay to hunt the high fence reserves and they call it hunting. It’s not hunting it’s target practice in live animals. Any way, paying to do a fair chase hunt is ok with me no matter the caliber of animal and cost (if one can afford it).
David, I understand your point, Your saying managing and owning your own property and raising your deer heard is different than someone hearing about a Huge deer and paying to go shoot it. I agree I wish there was a way to manage that or not let it happen, I also hear the side of, if someone has enough money to go pay for that deer, than why not let them do it. It’s something that I don’t believe is manageable. Anyway, I love the Podcast, as Always
Merry Christmas Fellas, here's my opinion. Everyone is paying, whether it's in sweat-equity or Benjamin's. We all watched Lee go to Ohio, the guy put in the legwork all summer longs, banging doors, offseason scouting, all of it. He outworked everyone in the area. Then you have guys like you guys, you put the work in for years on the same farms to get the mature bucks that you want to shoot. Then there are others who are paying their way to a nice buck. At the end of the day everyone is paying just in different forms of currency.
Only family can put up with the huge egos coming from the boys! Listen to your father! Glad u have a voice but wisdom def comes with the aged here! Way to go dad!!!!! Whooo ! So agree!
I dont have public land within 100miles of my house, I dont own private land, i dont lease, I have no food plots... I kill big deer every year. Public land guys who talk s&$t can KMA. lmao
Im sure if your in the right line of the industry.. paying to kill those bucks could just be used as a tax write-off? Say if you run a youtube channel, and make $100k a year off of it. Paying 20-30k to kill a deer for content may be better than handing your money to uncle sam.
