We own roughly 125 acres thatwecan hunt and allow others to hunt on. I am actually looking to buyanother 50 -150 within the next 1 1/2 years to put a house on or renovate an existing house. (Ideally an older non-workingfarm with about 30-50 acres old fields and the rest hardwoods and swamp.) Honestly I'd like 200 acres but I'm sure that wil be out of my budget.And my father is planning on buying more also (he lives instate).
I deally if I am fortunate enough to buy 100 acres or more I'd like to det up a 10 -20 acre sancuary in the middle of it that even I don't hunt. and keep the rest open and allow others to hunt it.
I am also planning on doing habitat management for small game, and set up my own stocking program for pheasants and quail. And obviously I would need to do predator control.
Its my thought that if I can obain property, and work with adjacent landowners to aquire managment ability for roughly 400-500 acres, we could do alot to improve the areas wildlife and hunting.
