[QUOTE="SaltwaterWalt, post: 5541753, member: 23515"] Being a senior aged deer hunter, I've sure seen a lot of changes in my lifetime of deer hunting. Knocking on a landowner's door to gain hunt permission is long gone. While a big rack buck is nice, it's never been my obsession. My reward is sitting in a stand on a cold morning and absorbing God's creation, while hoping to put venison in the freezer. A cold nip on the nose and frozen fingers make's me feel alive. I'm blessed in that I have permission to hunt 70 acres of scrubby, rough land that was an abandoned farm from yesteryear. I've been there 5 years. Each year I wait for the other shoe to drop as the owner keeps getting higher and higher offers for it from developers (it's about an hour south of Nashville). It comes down to how much money are you willing to pay to spend a couple weeks a year to hunt deer? Being retired, I'm on limited income. When it comes to pay to play, if deer hunting becomes a rich man's game, like in Europe, I'll go fishing on the great public waters we have in TN. But I will be sad not to sit in a cold stand anymore. [/QUOTE]
