Big Buck Advice

BIG BUCK ADVICE


As most of you know, I love shooting big bucks! My number one rule to do this consistently is to have hunting ground that has big bucks! Here are some ways to acquire that ground that everyone thinks is out of reach for the average Joe.

Acquiring Leases

"Most people can't hunt good ground like the pros on TV hunt." I hear this continually from fans nationwide. My reply is, "Why not?" It really boils down to how badly a person wants to hunt some of that great ground.

Consider this: a Kansas lease can be acquired for anywhere between $4 an acre to $8 an acre. Lets just say it costs you $6 an acre, and you find 500 acres. That's $3,000, and that’s a lot of money. Find four trustworthy buddies willing to go in with you. This breaks your cost down to $600 per person. Now, you have your own land that you can hunt and manage. Trust me, this can be done. I share this tip with you from my personal experience. This is how I have been leasing great property for fifteen years. Most of my big bucks have come off leases I could not afford, but I was able to pull some friends together to share the expense.

Public Hunting

One of the best pieces of ground I ever set foot on was a public piece in Iowa. There are literally hundreds of thousands of acres of public hunting ground accessible in the Midwest states. These opportunities are a click away on the Internet. Do some research to find the land that is away from major cities and heavily populated areas. In my experience, some of these public areas do not get that much pressure during bow season. The great thing about most of these public grounds is they are set up just for the wildlife.

The opportunities are endless for killing big bucks, but I’ll tell you, none of it comes easy! If you choose to lease or hunt public ground, they both require some hours logged doing research or spending time on the phone learning all you can about the area.

Good ground is a must to kill big mature bucks consistently. The hunting society says that expensive land leases are only for the people with money, but I think it’s for the hunter that can think outside the box. Regardless of the budget you have for hunting land, it can be attained! Hard work and determination go a long way in any aspect of our lives. This applies just as well to finding and obtaining that perfect piece of ground out there just for you!

Thanks for reading and may God Bless each and everyone of you!
