What are you going to do with mounts?

Another related question...

Has what you plan to do with your mounts influenced what you actually kill?

Yes. In the past, I would have any buck that struck my fancy mounted. Now, I think the buck would have to be "Top 10" for the property to be mounted. We've always Euro-mounted every buck we kill, but a shoulder mount would now have to be something special, and what I will pull the trigger on is a reflection of that.

Knowing all the work invested there...that is a tough pill to swallow.

Of course, it means so much to the current generation because we've poured our lifeblood into the place. Not only all the hunting and management but building the cabin ourselves. The next generation won't have that attachment; hence they will just see the place for its monetary value.

However, it would be a very nice place for a deer hunter with deep pockets.

With the many years of detailed history, 20+ years of camera censuses proving what the property can produce, and uniqueness of the cabin, I suspect a high-end hunting land realtor could sell the place for well above current "rural land" prices.
