I may have exaggerated a bit. I tend to do that. So what, I am killing me some freezer meat. I have no problems with what I am doing an don't care much else anyone has a lick of issue with it.

Hey PS - If the HFA and Sanctuary is where you can bag the deer of your dreams, why ain't you bagged yours? $2000...heck-fire, there isn't even any 160's on that land. With neighbors you got now, a dude would be luck to bag a freakin' doe! Image

Actually I'm thinkin the 7 miles would be the circumference(?). So, you figger that makes it approximately a whopping 3 square miles, or roughly 1920 acres. (figgered for a square.)

Hobie, that's what I'm saying, only you rounded off too much.
The value of pi is 3.14.
C = 2pi (radius)
Thus, radius = 1.11 mi.
Area = pi (radius)(radius)
Area = 3.87 sq. mi.
1 sq. mi. = 640 acres
Area = 2476 acres

I figgered for a square...
7/4 = 1.75

1.75 x 1.75 = 3.0625

rounded off to 3 square miles

3 x 640 = 1920

I've drove around the place... It is a high fenced area and by high fenced area, I mean Missouri High Fenced Area. Fence looked 20 ft high and it is tarped up real good.



Since I am not a gazillionair, my option is to ask farmer Brown to let me hunt one of his pastured hogs or lambs (at market value) with me bow. Beef is still a little too high Image

That's all I am saying BornBad. Why not kill what you eat. I understand this deal can be quite a challenge. It's not as easy as some may think. Glad to see someone finally understands.

Listen mother fornicater. Just because I can't "see" the 160er doesn't mean he can't. 2K is a fair price for a 2 day hunt. BTW, don't make me kick you in the sack with respect to reminding me of my friendly farmer neighbors. I've been doing well since this morning. Now I'm pissed again. Image

$1500 for a 80-119" Trophy buck. I'm surprised you haven't made reservations Craig. Image

Does this HFA have a website or something I can reference ? I wouldn't mind paying for a good buck. How did you get into this business Poison ?
