Would never rethink my lease. Being able to be there as much as I want and hunt as much or less as I want is worth it to me. I understand that at those prices it my interest some hunters, but for me having what I’ve mentioned already is good enough for me. Best of luck though to anyone who would decide to take that hunt.
If I really wanted one for the wall I might do it in addition to my lease but I'll keep a lease. Too much to enjoy having a place to go year round. Even if it's just drinking coffee as the sun comes up and listening to the turkeys gobble.
That is definitely a GREAT price to shoot a 170" deer. I would really check it out close to make sure there isn't a catch somewhere or no "hidden fees".
I’ve seen good hunts like this and bad hunts like this. Sure there is a 170 in this pasture, but only 1 and you have to find him. But feel free to shoot these 130’s for the same price
Like some have already said, there are places out there you can kill 140-170" deer for 3-4k now. Years ago that deer would 2-3xs more. I remember when a 200" was gold or platinum at most ranches and would be 15-25k. Places like the Nooner Ranch would be booked solid for the year. Mainly corporate hunts were taking place and I have seen a lot of big deer killed on those types of hunts.
What are you smoking to think a 170 is common. How many of them have you taken?
You missed my point. I haven't taken a 170, but I could. Its just how much money you want to spend. Like someone else said, they are a dime a dozen in most high fence hunting ranches and far from uncommon...hence the cheaper prices.
I think the long term takeaway for us free grazers is high fence prices will continue to drop as a larger premium is placed on the remaining low fence ranches.
