Well said timberline, most land owners that I know are not rich. They work their land, land that they have had for generations. It is how they make their living. Some years there are magnificent trophies, some there is just a herd of spikes and forks. My good friend who has a ranch will take a buck off of his place most every year (and he pays for the tag just like everyone else and btw where I live, he can't shoot anything outside of his property if he has the landowner tag, so if the monster trophy is on the other side of the fence, he can't take it) but he doesn't care about the score, he doesn't care if it is a trophy, he is truly interested in the sustainability of the herd. He has alot more invested in the herd being healthy than anyone else, his family (grandpa, dad, mom) and he have killed some great bucks, some small bucks and some years (like this last year) he won't take anything because the herds are struggling. Landowners can be some of the best respecters of the land that I know of because they are actually invested in it.
