[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3175593, member: 12277"] Obviously high land prices are good if you're selling but not so good for the vast majority of deer hunters who don't own land. Nowadays - well for years actually - if you don�t own the land, it�s almost impossible to get permission to deer hunt somebody else�s property as anybody who has tried knows. Yeah, there is public land � which is what the land in this article is of course but for anybody who wants their own place, it�s getting almost impossible for most hunters. Deer hunting is becoming a rich man's game. Am I the only one who sees that happening? :) If you don't have $500,000 - or maybe even a lot more - then you aren't going to ever be able to own a decent place to hunt. As bad as that is, as soon as a place gets known as a "Big Buck" area the already high land prices get even crazier. As I said earlier, the locals then have to compete with wealthy people from all over who have heard of the big racks. The working class local guy has zero chance against big city doctors. Of course, I exaggerated about wanting nothing but spikes to make my point but I sure do NOT want Tennessee to get known for big deer. I�d like for us to stay beneath the radar and keep it to ourselves. I would think everybody on this board would want the same if they think about it. [/QUOTE]
