Would have like to see thatr one.  I caught a show about log cabins,  I watched out of interest in maybe one day being able to build a hunt cabin.  Show critiqued multi-million dollar log mansions,, made me sick!  High lite of show was a 12 million dollar cabin on 10,000 acres of prime hunting land in Montanna,  Privately owned hunting reserve one of americas top CEO.  Again made me sick!   What a waste.

I wonder what it's like to be able to afford a 12 million dollar cabin on 10,000 acres.  I bet you have to hire an army to take it back from poachers every time you leave.  
 
Wonder what kind of crooked stuff he does - probably something that got bailed out with taxpayer money.   Crazy isnt it.

In that case, there can't be any poachers because we all really own it...  Where is it??? I want to go see my new hunting property....

I thought the show was interesting but I have to say that it isn't really hunting more like shooting esp. when the guy walks out of his car set up a rest and get yardage from someone else, etc, etc. Maybe for some it would be exciting by IMO that is not hunting

You guys make sure you have some black guns with you if you do! The place is probably protected with extreme prejudice!  And with 10,000 acres there are plenty of places to hided the bodies! 
 
Kirk you saw the same show?  Absolutely beautiful mansion and land all for one ego!  Made me want to target practice on corporate america!  They can afford multiple places like that and then have the audacity to tell us its the american workers wages and medical benefits that are crippling corporate america!  Makes my blood boil!

How the rich live!!!
 
We managed to put one such fraudster behind bars for defrauding the state with our billion $$$ arms deal. Our current president was also implicated, but he wriggled out of it. After only two years this dude is out on bail.
First thing he does is book into a $6750 a night game lodge! Yes USD6750. What do you get for that?????????

Bud... THEY are, OBVIOUSLY, worth it.  The workers, on the other hand, only make the "stuff" and get it out to the market...  What's that worth??  pennies...  dang greedy working people...

I saw the last 5 minutes of that show last night. Guy killed a buck (mule deer I believe) at 908yards with a 50BMG rifle. I wasn't cool with it until I realized that the deer did not suffer. It was dead before it hit the ground. As for the rest of the hunt, I didn't see it so I can't comment.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
