YOU WON!!! YOU WON A FARM!!!!

D That was my 80 I bought 10 years ago and it is a deer magnet now. I need to start thinning tree again and Im losing some of the stem count. It was basically a blank slate to start all over. I used the topos to figure out natural deer paths and was able enhance them to make some great deer "traps". Also helped to have a big ridge running through the property to give some elevation and valleys. In your options, one HUGE thing you are over looking is terrain.

I love the concept of the game (and by the way did i win a truck too)..... but am i buying to keep or flip? Which is : most different from the surrounding farms? has the best topography? most valuable on the resale? is in the best neighborhood?

All things equal, just hunting- the clearcut one...while unsightly, its game rich and the most acres

A. Has the most potential for what I would want to do. Second choice B

Last night at the New Year party instead of giving away a new car, the event gave away six farms and you won one and now you must decide which one you want for your major award. All six farms are within 30 minutes of your house and each have the same amount of road frontage and located on secluded country roads, each farm is rectangular shape. All are in the county that you reside and taxes are the same for each. OK, here are the six farms that you must choose from and you have first choice........ (of course your reasoning explained would be appreciated but not necessary)

A. 100 acres: The hardwood forest was select cut down to 14 inch trees(ABH) two years ago.

B. 80 acres: The land has a mature hard wood forest, covered with 20-26 inch white and red oak trees.

C. 60 acres: Flat crop ground, tiled and tillable, high yield. Currently .33 crop shares being paid to owner

D. 120 acres: Clear cut last year, took every tree and only tangled tops left everywhere

E. 100 acres: 50 acres select cut last year and 50 acres of cleared cow pasture

F. 90 acres: 20 acres open fields; 20 acres crops; 50 acres of medium age forest (16" and smaller trees)

E all day. To me, pasture ground is the best starting spot for deer hunting habitat. Deer live in woods despite the trees. Oaks are overrated.

That’s pretty much exactly how our bigger place was when we bought it.
Leave the woods as is, turn pasture into native grasses and shrub strips with a couple shallow ponds.

C would be worth 30K or more an acre here easy.
