Also whitetail in general may be losing popularity.
I have no desire to pay to shoot a whitetail but I will pay to shoot a mule deer or elk. I know many other people who feel the same way who have no problem affording high end package hunts.
Hunters can only shoot so many whitetail before they want to hunt something else Heck no Everyone's a Big Country Elk Hunter now  Tickles me to Death...Less Pressure Colorado and NM are that a way

Don't believe the WT hunters will ever reach the point of many hunters tiring of hunting them. Perhaps those who travel extensively and spend many $ on other hunts will reach that point. The economy and fewer hunters as time passes, will have more effect. For me, I still get excited seeing any buck.

Trophy hunters who want to go out and shoot a huge buck without the "thrill" of the actual hunt? Maybe
I will get off in a little bit You shouldnt have said that

I'm sold out. At list prices. I don't import bucks so I can't speak to that. But either I'm too low on list prices, or prices/demand haven't dropped in my customer base.

Hunters can only shoot so many whitetail before they want to hunt something else  Really? Where exactly do I fit into that statement?  Your just weird
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

HF hunting to me is like purchasing art. I have a 241" double drop tine buck I killed on HF ( took 3 days to hunt him, but knew he was out there ). I also have a 163" main frame typical 13pt. from low fence. The double drop buck is beautiful but I catch myself starring at the LF buck way more often. Nothing wrong with hunting HF especially now if your budget allows, there's some deals out there. I'm starting to see HF and LF hunts close the gap on pricing.
If you love it, shoot it!
