1. If you had the money and time would you do everything in your power to develop a property for producing trophy deer? Yep! I'd also take some of that money and head out of Minnesota to do some other hunts In other states for different species (Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Alaska, etc). 2. Would you view the bucks taken there any differently than bucks you took under different circumstances? Nope. It would be hard work finally showing It's rewards. It would be more up to you to screw your hunting up, not your neighbors. 3. How would you respond to internet chatter about your hunts not being real hunts or canned hunts or your deer not really being any accomplishment? This Is a good one Todd. I wish I could say I could give a rats ass on what people said but that's not how I'm built. I'd be firing back at these know It alls saying something rather harsh. I remember some people on here hinting they could probably get It done too If they hunted the same land GregH hunts, big bucks everywhere you know on his property. Guys like Greg will tell you he's got good hunting, he's said It himself numerous times. 4. If you were invited to hunt such a situation would you go? Hell yes as long as no fences are Involved!
I would love to own a couple thousand acres here in mountains of Northern Idaho, just to see what would happen to these big mountain bucks if they were introduced to the kinds of feed you see in the mid west. I think it would be pretty spectacular. I'd have elk and everything else on my place to hunt as well. I grew up logging and farming. My family has a deep history in both, I would love nothing more than to work my own property, develop it with my own two hands etc. Not to mention I'd love to have some nice equipment like a new dozer, tractor, excavator etc to play around on!
Yes, and I was almost fortunate enough to acquire a sizable chunk near my parents 90 acres. It is my goal to live on the land I hunt. I want to manage, work, hunt, and just simply live life on my own little piece of heaven. Life, to me, doesn't get much better.
