I saw the HS videos where "Skoronski's" 4000+ acres allowed all his buddies to shoot giants (I'd guess 6 bucks over 170") in one year. I'd love to let my good friends hunt, the hunting will be just as good every year if my buddies shot does and totally mature bucks, year in, year out. I've let friends hunt smaller peices too and do the same thing, I couldn't imagine it on the thousands of acres scale.
For Drury's- I know Terry always thanked state of IA for the governor's tags (I seriously don't watch the videos much- unless my bro pops it in /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif ) SO, if they are getting Governor's tags, something else must have happened. Who knows, and no, I don't want to start rumors (not that I think I am). I know for sure Mark was hunting in IA after he sold that 1,900 chunk that some guy bought. Huh, I guess whatever, it would be nice to move some publicity to Missouri though! I even feel bad for hunters trying to buy land in Decator now who could go across county line to Lucas or Wayne, pay $500-1,500 less an acre and have just as good of hunting. But since I'm winning the lottery soon I guess money's not going to be an issue anymore and I'm going to offer 25% MORE than the asking price.
