…or maybe closer, that remains to be seen. I previously started and later closed a land tour of my previous farm called Down the Road from Paradise due to the proximity to the Paradise coal plant in kentucky. I sold that property in June and simultaneously closed on this one. Ironically it’s about 10 minutes from my old property. I liked my old property but the living arrangements weren’t suitable for spending much time in due to being of the grid and definitely weren’t much for my wife and little girl. The new place is a little bigger but has a nice metal cabin that was just built last year. My wife and girl have already stayed 4 weekends since June, my parents have stayed there and my in laws so it’s already been worth the move regardless of the hunting.
The property has 60 acres tillable and the balance is timber with the bulk of that having been select cut maybe 4 years ago. Of course they high graded most of it but there is still some quality mast producers and honestly the succession is much more suitable for holding deer now than had it not been cut. Another thing I liked was it had a new 2.5 acre pond. Just stocked last spring. I’ve gotten into managing that so I’m excited about the possibilities there.
Having closed in June, and being hot and me having a severe aversion to heat I haven’t done much towards getting ready for deer season. And honestly I may not do a ton this year. May lay low and see how the property lays, just being low impact on the perimeters. As I’ve stated in previous thread, I have an outfitter behind me. They suck to put it bluntly. Basically 8 point minimum. 2 other neighbors seem fine but may not pass on a nice 3 year old and one neighbor is great. Definitely on the same page.
I’ll update as I go and hopefully I have some cool things to show.
