You would be very wise with a purchase like this assuming as with all real estate deals You can afford to buy it you can afford to keep it and sell it when YOU are ready Since this thread is about recreational property then are you passionate about it And with that are you willing to invest in...

thats one way to look at it. Or... Pay $65 an acre. Build a world class whitetail program . Shoot a bunch of terrific bucks off it . Then sell it for $1000 acre. But it 'could ' be even better than that. Sell it for $1000 acre and owner finance with the owner not taking possession for 5 yrs...

Granted the ranches around us are large. that said we have one pasture that is 2300 acres not contiguous to the rest of our property and it regularly produces 190" + bucks.

When I first started buying ranch land in Mexico back in 1996 I paid $65 an acre. Today premium quality hunting property in our neighborhood goes for $1000 acre. Thats still the best bargain for hunting property in North America.

My interest in drones spawns from what I can learn. Like most I have preconceived notions about where the deer should be, how they relate to the habitat, when they are where and why, and a host of other ideas. I do some controlled burns each yr. Be interesting to see what the deer are doing...

One of the most fun things I've ever done with whitetails is helicopter game surveys. What a hoot. In the brush country you can see everything. There are stories from the past of folks using helicopters on big ranches to shoot bucks. Way more effective than a drone. Always a way to cheat the...

One of my favorite things is guiding folks that ' get it' when they see a fully functioning top end deer herd. Most of my inner circle of hunters rarely shoot anything[ including myself] Delighted just to be a witness. Couple of options to prime time....neither of which includes sitting in a...

A peak at. a few sheds from the ranch and what we can learn

In the " for what it's worth " category. After we finished treating the stumps as I show in the above video We ran over the entire area with a disc, broadcast sorghum and grazed it twice. Then this fall I broadcast oats, elbon rye, red clover and arrow leaf clover which is all up doing well. I...
