THE BOTTOM LINE

Are you truly addicted to the quest for a trophy buck? Time to face reality. Harvesting a big buck will almost certainly cost you big bucks. You can buy or lease land, with the possibility of tremendous rewards through considerable sweat equity.

With hunting skills commensurate with your passion, there is an 80- to 90 percent chance that $3,000-$6,000 spent with a reputable outfitter will result in a shot at a trophy. This option is certainly cheaper than marrying the farmer’s daughter.
I was only 20 years old when I asked an absolute angel to be my bride. My Dad had to sign at the county clerk’s office to get a marriage license. A sign behind the clerk’s desk indicated marriage licenses were $10.
This was the answer I gave Dad when he asked the price. So far, his response of “$10 and every cent you make for the rest of your life” has been spot on.
Almost a half-century later, my wife hasn’t run out of patience, but our cabin in bluff country is pretty much out of walls for hanging horns. Oh, deer!
