Access To Information
Hunting is more and more a commercial enterprise. Many land owners are aware that very high scoring antlers are worth big dollars. The top mule deer buck sold for more than $325K (I don't know the exact amount). I have heard that the owner of the Hanson buck gets around $30K to bring the mount to wildlife shows.
Land owners own trail cams and know what high scoring deer look like.
Do you think a land owner with a high scoring animal is going to give you access for thankful gestures ?
Information about high scoring trophies is big money !
