Hey guys…some of you may recognize this from the other forum. My wife and I bought our house in 2001 next door to my mother-in-law's 150 acres. She promised us a chunk of land when we bought the house. I have been hunting this 150 since then…old fields, apple orchards, spruce swamps, open hardwoods, lots of cover. It's a great chunk of land, but with low deer densities and low hunting pressure. I've done some release of about 90 wild apples, but I've never been allowed to do any food plots on my MIL's land.
Well, after 13 years my MIL finally gifted us about a 20 acre chunk of her land. It's not a lot…but's it's mine. I will still hunt the entire 150 parcel, but now I can do any plotting that I want on the chunk I own. It's a great feeling. Been waiting for this for a long time!
Thought I'd share a few pics of the parcel. There is NO hard mast for miles. No AG anywhere. I started posting the entire 150 acres in Sept. and I just finished this weekend.. I went with the plastic posted signs by what was formerly Moldcraft (now Serious Property Markers), http://www.seriouspropertymarkers.com...the signs are great. No backer board required. Easy installation. Durable. And inexpensive. I also used some signs by a company called 3D Post...http://www.the3dpost.com…I used these sparingly throughout the property way up high in trees, on access trails, along fields and swamps where no trees were present, and to mark each corner of the parcel, etc.
An overview of the property and nearby State Forest.
Here's a pic of the entire 150 acres.
Some detail of the chunk my wife and I got in yellow.
And a pic of the signs I used…200 of the yellow signs and 12 of the 3D posts.
