Well, about 8 years ago I told my wife I wanted hunting land before I turned 35. Well, I'm 33 now and I have a signed purchase agreement for 40 acres. The land is 1 hour 10 minutes from my house which is better than I thought I would get since I live in the Minneapolis metro area. I thought I would be 3-4 hours away.
The land is all wooded (oaks over 16" were logged off 5 years ago, but you can barely tell - plenty of oaks left). it's part of a woods that is several thousand acres in size with no houses!! I'll be where it narrows down and funnels to several large fields. So, I'm hoping it's a good funnel. The land owner pulled a camera while I was out there and there were several nice buck pics from the previous couple days.
I can't wait to get started improving the land. I tentatively have a spot picked out for next years plot. CAN'T WAIT!!! I'll be looking to you all for some advice
this spring.
