There also seems to be a false sense that wi has a deer behind every tree. It doesn't! Some areas hold more deer than others. Like my properties, some specific pockets in these prime areas, hold really high amounts of deer. There are many places in my county that hardly have a deer.
These land owners have Still paid up to $6000-$7000/ acre for strictly hunting land. You would fall out of your chair if you knew property taxes on that land. Hell there are guys down the road from me that paid $1000/acre on land they can't even cut a tree on. They don't own the timber on their land and they are paying $1800 a year in taxes on 40 acres. They can't clear some trees for a food plot, nothing. It's basically a $40,000 deer lease on a 40 acre chunk.
Let's all raise our hands on who pays this much $ for strictly hunting land and taxes?
Now let's imagine who's gonna have better hunting? A entire neighborhood of rich guys who want mega bucks, or a blue collar section, where guys want meat! The dnr wants the deer shot just as much as any place else, guys just aren't shooting.
My relative turned down $1.1 million for 275 acres, and he never had it for sale. If u wanna put your $ where your mouth is, I might be able to help you negotiate $1.5? Your gonna need an easy 5 digits for taxes a year, so budget wisely.
Keep dreaming boys, quality deer hunting doesn't come cheap. If u got the $, you will get awesome hunting. Otherwise, deal with seeing a deer now and than!
