BigWay, good thinking. I bought land in WV for the same reason. It isn't cheap when you factor in the down payment and land payments, price of building a cabin, taxesandthe gas expenses going to and from. But the rewards in the long-run will be worth it if you don't have many trespassers and are able to reach your goals of making the place better for hunting (building cabin/making food plots or wildlife clearings, etc.).
