I'd rather drive 4-8 hours and hunt a place that doesn't have a 3 month gun season and elmer fudd sitting on a corn pile every 20 acres.


Reached this point couple years ago. If u like spending time at a camp for 3500 for now and climbing then go for it. U might get lucky and kill a good buck but chances getting fewer and far between with 30 other people in ur club and locals with pictures of the same deer. I know it ain’t for everyone but if I’m gonna spend that I just go to my spot in Texas. I do have a couple small tracks here but only take a couple does off it for freezer. The bucks rarely live around those tracks so nothing I would shoot in couple years.
