[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2943453, member: 116439"] I read an article about 15 years ago on how Hunting the USA is going the way of Europe. Only for the RICH. Look at the hunting space available today. It is either Public Land where it is over crowder, over hunted, and a lot of Jerks that don't know how to hunt. Then you have the Private Land. If you don't own it, the leases are going up to the point where a working man can't afford. Then you have the "Ranch" hunting where you pay $$$$$ to shoot a raised Deer/Bear/Exotic. I had some other hunters that I hunted with for years on a leased farm in NY. Great price for 8 of us to rent the farm house for a week and 2,000 acres of woods to hunt deer. A few of them would go the Canada every year. When they got to the Lodge they would be brought into the "Deer Room" there was pictures of all the nice bucks on the property and what feeding station and times the deer would feed. The pictures of the Deer also had "PRICE" tags on them $5k to $30K depending on the Rack size. The animals were Micro Chipped and could be tracked anywhere on the property. This tracking system told the Outfitter where anyone of the Bucks were feeding and what times, You would pick the Deer you wanted and also needed to have the money to cover the animals price. The outfitter would take you out to a little heated blind close to the feeding station by 4x4. You had your lunch, drinks and a radio. You were also given the time the buck would show up. Once you shot your trophy deer you called on the radio. Then the guides would come out and process your deer for the type of mount you wanted. Directly after that you would go to the Lodge and have a big dinner with lots of drinks, settle up on the cost of the animal and also give the guides $1k to $5K as a tip for helping you get a trophy. Saw all this on video from the Lodge with the "Game Room" pictures and prices, feeding stations, heated stands, and tons of nice raised Bucks. [/QUOTE]
