Biggest question: are you in a region for which there is a pine pulp market? In other words, will you be able to thin the pines without paying out the nose to do it? If not, that will be largely useless wildlife acreage. Managed pine plantations are better deer and turkey habitat than...

I’d have had a hard time wasting TSS shells on them. Would’ve put me in a dilemma.

Have we discussed Garmin? I opened a position last Feb and am up about 70%. Should I hold on to it?

I’m not saying this applies to you, but anymore, pasture may be good for hunting turkeys but likely not good for growing them. People still remember a time when pastures weren’t dominated by exotic grasses. This land cover was good for turkeys. It’s not anymore.

I thought “The Hole” could be a remembrance of the last owner. Another neat idea could be to do some research at the courthouse. Was there a family that owned it a long time ago that you could name it after? I have an old family cemetery at my farm that I’ve used as a namesake.

Call it The Hole!

The common rule of thumb is 25-35 times your yearly spend (spend not including what you’re putting back into savings) That allows for a 3-4% safe withdrawal rate. Google SWR and read up on it. I track and bucket every cent we spend for the purpose of understanding that nest egg estimation. Is it...

Not to get too personal, but I had it in my head you were a land-not-market guy. What % of your net worth is in stocks? I think I’m at like 70%. Maybe a little less if you take the bond allocation out of my brokerage accts. That includes land and house equity.

For those down and out, I’m hearing surprisingly consistent reports since Florida’s season opened that turkey numbers are good but that gobbling is extra sporadic and inconsistent. And this is reports from all over the country. My job responsibilities, on the other hand, have been extremely...

Or course. My point was, if you’re poo-pooing the fact that companies may look for low cost suppliers in order to provide shareholder value …. And you’re a shareholder, then the company isn’t necessarily the problem. I’m part of the same hypocrisy.

Do you hold any stocks?

In the timber. Cutting down junk trees, making sunlight. Sweetgum, hornbeam, and elm. And I’ve started a tradition of putting one silver bullet in the cooler. I pop it open on the tailgate before I leave. If I’m in a hurry I may finish on the first couple miles of the return trip.

They weren’t budging on price but I bought it. Hood paint was a touch faded, but the grey frame and chassis paint looked brand new and shiny. Also has top and tilt already installed. Since I plan to do a good bit of grading work, this is gonna come in handy. Now to get some storage and...

Yes. Has a loader. And hydrostatic

How much less would you pay for the 70 if you didn’t have hunting rights? I suspect the hunting rights are worth more than $1k/ac. On the other hand, you need more than just hunting rights. You need exclusive access during hunting season and some recompense of its developed or your hunting...
