the price of antlers/lb is much higher than meat per lb.
Who leases ground to only meat hunt??
They should just head to public land and pop a forkie and a doe or two and not spend a penny to do so

I know a guy in Texas that hunted his whole life and finally quit as he couldn't afford the leasing rates anymore. Same thing with a friend I have in Iowa. He's in his early 50s and has never had issues finding land. He had to start leasing a few years back and now he can't afford that as he's been priced out.
Why spend the big money on a lease when you could just buy a cow (or half a cow even) and get more meat for the money spent...
If you are in a big lease with other hunters and your share is minimal then I can see the argument... But, if you are paying a lot of money for a lease then it doesn't make any sense in my opinion.... But it is not my money so what one does with theirs is none of my business.... [/b]
