Having the chance to own and hunt your own land is a great feeling. BUT before buying into a partnership, thereshould be a lawyer involved, even though I hate lawyers, and there would be a time that my partners in ownership and I sat down with the lawyer and had all the details put into writing, and having all said partners sign the agreement. And, I'd make darn sure, again, may have to have the lawyer varify and get in writing, the part about the "verbal agreement easement" part of the deal. When I bought my last two pieces of ground, I paid for title insurance, and it turns out that I got my moneys worth on the second piece, as there were discrepences from the past owners/transactions of the land.
As was said before, land is a great investment, if you can afford to buy it, and can but it at a resonable current market value!
