Thought about this some more and other VALUES came to mind:
1 - known and verifiable history on the farm. Not only of bucks killed but also of those passed
2 - lodging on site - this provides a bonus that is hard to measure. No worries about where you are going to stay, reduced noise at the cabin compared to a motel, less security worries, easier immediate access to the farm, etc. Easy to simply quickly have lunch and head back to stand.
3 - ability to cook and microwave on site. Saves time and cost and also allows you to eat better
4 - reduced fuel costs - no running back and forth to town
5 - equipment shed. The value of this cannot be overstated.
6 - probability of year after year arrangements. The mental gains (and the actual gains) of this cannot be overstated either. More time on the farm, year after year = more knowledge about the farm and deer patterns.
7 - compared to an outfitter, in this arrangement you can hunt when you want. Bad weather week? Plan for the following week.
8 - this might not be important to many but bow and gun is a great option. Plan a two week trip - bow hunting for a week and then gun hunt.
9 - one stop shopping. Here, you can budget and know exactly what your total costs are gonna be.
10 - on site lodging means more stand time. More stand time = better chances at some wild eyed, slobbering beast (if your heart and nerves can stand the strain).
Think we can go on and on - but it is time for someone who has always wanted to enjoy the magic of the Midwest to take that step - into an arrangement that is predictable and safe. Your costs are protected and there are no unknowns.
Good luck, folks. Deal with confidence.
