Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

[Mortenson]

I recall Baker showing reconyx pics some yrs back of coyotes leading aliens through his pasture. Would make a nice bullet point on the whitetail properties listing!

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.

I was under the impression a foreign resident couldn’t buy land in Mexico is this not the case or do you have a workaround?

I saw recently that Winke's original property is back on the market. I thought they had originally sold it and it was split up. They put together a cheesy youtube video and were even working in a few of Winke's expressions.

Dream Big With The Iconic Winke Farm | Whitetail Properties

This listing offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own the iconic farm of former owner and renowned whitetail hunter, Bill Winke.

www.whitetailproperties.com

I only bring this up because Winke's farm was mentioned a few times in this thread or another one on the same topic.

To top it off, he showed up in the video's comments lol:


Just makes me respect the guy that much more. Not that I had much respect for them before, but whitetail properties just come across as losers in all of this.

I have a strong negative opinion of whitetail properties so I’m dang sure not defending them, but why do they come across as losers in this?

Just since this thread was started last year all types of ground in my area has jumped 30% or more.
It makes no sense to me at all in this economy.

Hunting lease pricing is climbing here too, I was able to pick up two new leases with options to buy this spring.

Basically how they are leaning so heavily on Winke'isms and the history of that farm. I am sure that because they used so much footage from Midwest Whitetail's youtube channel, they bought the rights to the footage. Even though I am not in the market for buying or selling land, I still come across their advertisements or postings for pieces of properties. They are consistently the worst for hyperbolic language in their advertisements.

I feel like hunting leases don't get enough attention for what they are doing to land prices. Jake on the Land Podcast has had a few guests on that have talked about the increase in cost of leases.

I don't think the number of hunters have increased in the last few years, but there are certainly people that are hunting a lot more, or are at least willing to pay more to do it, whether it is on a lease or a piece they bought.

Me and my buddies have a joke about their listings…if you can’t find the word diversity in it I’ll kiss your ass! Generally you can’t even make it past the headline

As our family keeps growing I'm keeping my eye on decent hunting ground close to me so we don't get overcrowded. I usually lease for a few years to check out new spots good, if I really like it I try and negotiate to purchase.

You fellows just wait til I sell and you have to watch the Diversity and Bill'ism in the commercial

Seems like the Whitetail Properties guys are full on retailers to the yuppies. I enjoy finding a piece with upward potential and getting it to it's potential. Who wants to buy it all set up? The fun part is the setup.

That’s actually one trend I’ve been watching. I’m hoping the spread between turnkey properties and rough ones widens.

Best case scenario: the ceiling (turnkey properties) is likely going up but the floor (undervalued properties) is staying the same. Jake Hofer on the Land Podcast has been talking quite a bit about this. The inefficiencies in the recreational land market are slowly but surely going to get figured out. I don't think he is basing it on anything other than his own observations. I am sure there will continue to be lots of great deals out there, but they are only going to be more difficult to find.

I am not sure if that spread really widens, or if the undervalued properties just lag behind enough for some people to find good deals. I can't imagine anyone on this forum really wants to buy a turnkey property. One thing is for sure, they are making the markets for recreational land prices.

In my area of SE MN, the Whitetail Properties realtor frequently has both raw and turnkey properties for sale. I was very impressed with our purchase through him last fall, and I would definitely use him if I ever sell any property.

No plans but life is a funny thing..

Right, like me, purchase land that is over populated with wolves and bears, is prone to extreme hard winters, and try to get decent deer. I have fun doing it, have small expectations, and have no regrets.

I’ve see two good looking properties, one in Missouri and one in Wisconsin, reduce prices this week. They seem reasonably priced at least now. Wonder if there’s some cooling going on.

 

[Brian662]

The *asking* prices in my neighborhood in WI are out of control right now. They've gone up $1,500 to $3,000/acre in the past three months. Absolutely wild, don't know how many of them get their price though. I'm tapped out, so I'm only window shopping.

This is one of the ones. I have zero idea where this is but it looks good from 30,000’. Don’t know where they started at but that price doesn’t seem out of line for bigger properties in high quality regions. But maybe I’m wrong.
