If you dont let the highway bother you, if dang sure wont bother the the deer. I killed my biggest buck ever, sitting on the ground 29 yards off the guardrail of a busy US highway. The deer was 30 yards from me. Scored 157 - which is a gigantic deer for piney woods southern deer. And he isnt the only big one there. I always just smile to myself when someone says you have to get way back in the woods to get the big deer. They are 100% wrong - at least in my area. But, I hope the keep believing that.

Good to know you’ve got a renter that wants it

Guys darn near fight over pasture ground for rent around here biggest problem is SE Kansas is known for very large whitetail many many out of area guys running the property values way higher than the cattle ranches can actually pay and farm them at a profit. My in-law was probably out at $450,000 and that’s most likely beyond profitable, probably $300,000 is break even. Adam LaRoach the retired ball player owns quite a bit of ground east of that farm and I was terrified his father in law would be there bidding against me if he had been I wouldn’t have purchased it no question so the Interstate most likely helped me tremendously in that the real heavyweight bidders didn’t show.

For that check out Auction sniper. You can’t out react an algorithm. Still pick your number but it gets submitted on a graduating scale and it is lightening fast at raising the next highest bid up to your max. But sometimes it saves you $.
I found that after getting hosed by to many algorithms…
Why don’t you bid your best price in the earlier? I’m dying to know. Never could figure this out with online auctions. The guy that thinks he’s gonna win just knows sooner.
You don't bid your best price in at first for the same reason that you don't usually bid on the auctioneers first starting price.If you give your highest then you may pay too much.Say you are willing to give 3000 an acre but the other bidder can only go to 2500 you would pay an extra 500 per acre or you may have a guy that will give 3050 an acre and get bid from you because you can't go any higher.

Bidding online in particular I find it best to throw MY number in on the last three seconds only the guy currently winning if he has a top number higher than mine will beat me and have no time to second guess his max and rebid. On a 4-6 day auction if I see a knife I don’t have and want if I bid early all I tend to do is run the price up in my experience. To put this in context I have something like 55 Kershaw Blur pocket knives and those aren’t the only knives I collect. I did just buy a 1968 or 1969 Buck 122/124 new in box at auction cost me just under $700 for that knife.
