Thats funny!

It's a bit more nuanced . He is parking money in real estate ultimately for his children. has put together a block of couple hundred thousand acres. Bought mine from reputation without ever seeing it. I do whatever I want with it for as long as I want with his knowing it will be in better shape...

Bill, DO NOT CANCEL THE MEME THREAD ! Please !! Even if it could be construed as political . I don't look at any of the other political threads. Not why I come here. But the meme thread is a highlight and blessings to all the irreverent political posters that brighten my day.

I can tell you the dynamics at play for me. I just finished selling all 25,000 acres of my Mexico property. I'm 70 and there is no way anyone in my family could manage or afford or understand what it takes to own such a property. So looking forward I was needing an exit strategy. Over time I...

Just an FYI. Farmers on Delta Plantation { adjacent to Honey Brake } are in a bind this yr cause its too wet to plant corn and the input prices to grow soybeans cost more than the price they are getting for the beans. Several will go bankrupt this yr. unable to cover their equipment debt. An...

Just catching up on this. Kinda all boils down to where it is. As you know some areas have a different mind set than others. 60 acres is small and while it could be great I suspect it would be occasional and random. Not something you could hunt all the time. Bet it could be strong for ducks...

Yes, I think mortality especially with the 3 and 4 yr olds is quite high. We had a very large acorn crop this year coupled with a hot October. Hard to get in the woods with all the mosquitos and If you sat in a blind on a road or field you wouldn't see a thing. I bet I only saw 50-60% of the...

Hmmm video didn't post. Maybe here?

Here are a few bucks I filmed from the farm this yr.

Here are a few bucks I filmed during 2024 from the farm

Guess I've travelled to hunt my whole life. Live in Central La.yet growing up hunting property was along the Ms. River in north La. Was a dream come true property for a kid to grow up on.My father started leasing property in South Tx when I was a teenager. Quail, deer, doves. Hunted every year...

Not sure if you La. boys saw this buck from the Cleco property next to Honey Brake. 262" That raises the bar! Thats two giants killed within a mile of each other { the other was the Jordon buck killed earlier this yr.}

Which place did you manage? I know several of the properties down there. Good country, great soil
