I'm new to the deer business, but not new to business or agriculture. In my opinion, Jbeltmann is thinking in the right direction. Build the best performing product possible, with the least amount of input cost. Take out as many variables as a guy can, which is easier said than done in any agricultural trade. Reduce handling and labor. Drive up fixed cost utilization.

One variable does exist, that would benefit all growers and preserves. We cannot be satisfied with stagnant demand in the market. If we are planning to produce more bucks, however that may be, and concerned with prices falling due to oversupply, we need to drive up demand.

New hunters must try out a deer hunt in a preserve every year. They must have a good experience or they would not come back. How do we get more hunters to give it a try and repeat? How do we get the repeat hunters to bring theirs friends and family when they come back? How do we improve the experience, whether that be with an improved look on the deer or the hunting experience itself? As demand increases, especially repeat demand, prices should steadily climb.

More hunters = More bucks = More $
