How did you get access to that private land? Buy it yourself or pay for a lease/club membership? Either way, many folks would consider that paying to kill a whitetail.
by being friends with land onwers. there are people in this world that just let you hunt .i only belong to one hunt club. i pay 300 per year for 2500 acres jut to extend my season. the county i live in only has 2 weeks of rifle season for deer . the county my club is in has a 7week season. the other hunt club that i hunt on i have never payed to hunt. owner is a friend.
I'm with ya on that one pointer, I would consider that paying to kill a whitetail.
