I think it's sad that people think it's turning into a rich man's sport.  Quite simply it is not.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

2300 is a lot of money, but not out of reach for a lot of people.  You can hunt the public land adjacent to it and deal with a few other guys, but you're still hunting for almost free and still have a chance at deer.

$2300 is cheap if the animals are there and the rancher is willing to show you around and you can hunt bear too.  A whole month of hunting 30,000 acres with just 3 other guys is priceless.  I am far from rich but if I were hunting archery this year I would be all over this.

It looks it could be a good opportunity for someone willing to spend the money...but I'd want to see the property, some animals, and some references before I threw $2,300 down just so I could cross the fence onto their land.

I've hunted huge expanses of land and never run across another hunter, or fresh boot track. The desire to hike a few steps further than the next guy makes  more sense in my mind...but I've always been kinda frugal.
I left it better than I found it...did you?
I hunt animals because veggies are too easy to stalk.

It would prob take a month to cover the 30,000 acres.  Been on a 20,000 acres ranch that a friend hunts and thats alot of ground to cover

Guys, I went there and spent most of a day driving around with the fellow that owns it.  OMG There are bucks like you can't believe  and yes 30000 acres is a huge chunk of land.  However, the guy knows every square inch of it and would do everything he could to help a hunter or hunters get the buck of a life time.

It is a oasis and until you go there you would never guess it's there.  If it weren't for the other tags I got drawn for and work, I would have snatched it up straight away. 

Mulies not Whitetail,  I have video of over 20 + big bucks in velvet from a month ago on that property.

If you have the dough, it would be well worth your time. 

Good luck

Thanks for the good reference Ron- good luck on your hunts this fall.  Hopefully you'll be out there looking at some smoker mulies next fall.

Machias: In the original post it says "for September"...not the whole year.

This is for sure too much $$.

Drop camps in WA run around $800; guided "primo" archery whitetail hunts for P&Y bucks are about that much.

People that are talking about everybody else spending more other places may be correct, but in WA it is not the same table.

2300 dollars for one deer.  Not if the "animals" are there, if "the" animal is there. I think 2300 is way too much for 1 deer.
