Default Today is the day.

I' m closing on 81 acres of hunting land today. I' m very nervous! I keep thinking something will go wrong. It should all be over by noon. My wife thinks I' m nuts for spending all this money for hunting. I' m telling her that I' m not spending it, I' m realigning my portfolio! She' s not impressed. It' s a dream of mine that looks like it is coming to fruition! Dick

Congrats. My wife actually wants to buy some land for hunting and a cabin. We haven' t found any we can afford in the Northeast.

The only thing that could go wrong is maybe a tornado or earthquake. Wildfire running through the streets. Or the greatest of calamaties for a title company... All the pens in the place running dry at the same time!

Congrats on becoming a member of the landed aristocracy! Will we have to begin addressing you as Squire Dick4Bows?

Mr. Strock,

I' m not kissing your ring (or anything else, for that matter) this weekend at CBH!

Congrats on buying the land. You could use a " portable hunting lodge" though.

Dick, I have been there too. I bought 35 acres 2 years ago. Don' t worry, you cannot go wrong buying land. There is a limited amount of land so you won' t or should not loose money. My property gives me a place to hunt deer, and go to on the weekends. I was never a turkey hunter but this spring I tried it for the first time. I got a 19# tom with an 11.5" beard. I also found I have an abundance of Murrells. Neither the turkey hunting or the mushrooms were even a thought when I bought the land; they were welcome perks I did not expect to get. Wait till you settle in, then first time you hunt your stand and realize that this is your land. You will feel very happy.

Congratulations!
Bill
