Made a tough decision this summer that I would skip the bow season this year due to some stuff going on in my family. But I think really it’s a decision that will be good for my hunting in the long term. I’ll be able to get ahead of the game in 2025, as you were saying, because I won’t be as rushed around trying to get it done with minimal time available. Love the video man I appreciate your effort and your attitude. God bless.
I have a lodge I go to every year instead of fooling with leases. Cost me about $4k, but if you do the math, it makes sense. $1200 a year for lease, several work trips and expense with blinds, utvs, camping or hotels. So I figure the actual $4k is about $1k more a year and Instead I have a nice lodge, meals, comradery, Midwestern bucks from a sea of protein, and no headaches. Totally worth it.
Man, you have a great attitude and good diction as well. I decided to hold myself to a bit higher standard of buck in 2023 and passed on a number of deer. Found a lot of big rubs but never the deer that left the sign. Currently scouting my tail off to find a big one. Also, 53-years old and just started hitting the road with a weighted vest to trim about 20 extra pounds. Good luck this fall and thank you for the fine content.
We did too!! Landowner went with a lease company out of Indiana and it tripled in price per acre!!! No way a small group of working class guys and a few retirees can make up that big a difference!! Hunting is slowly becoming a rich man's sport!!
Lifetime outdoorsman. Fishing and mostly waterfowl hunting. Always been around deer hunters but never took a interest till my bird hunting dried up. Figured it’s time to be more adaptable and find another outlet to spend time outdoors. So here I am green as can be gearing up for deer season. I will be hunting public exclusively. I look at a deer as something to put on the table. If I get a doe or a scrub buck it’s a trophy to me and my family will enjoy the meals it will provide. More deer hunters need to feel that way. Can’t eat antlers. Good video!
LOL!!! I was waiting to see who was the first one to spot that! Yes, I did walk back to get the battery boxes. Wow! One person actually watches one of my videos to the end. I'm impressed. lol
