RE: Starting to look for my own land
greg, in 2000 I got lucky and was able to purchase 48 acres in north Missouri. 5 acres tillable, 1 1/2 acre pond and 41 acres m/l acres in oak, ash, maple timber. Got bit with the food plot craze and have planted plots. hung numerous tree stands, had a select cut timber harvest, rebuilt the original lake and made larger, built a 4 acre lake next to it and enjoyed every minute fo it. Have taken deer, turkey and ducks off this land every year. Small tracts of land can be very productive if the location is right. I would do it all again and when my land is paid for I hope to purchase another parcel. It is a great investment. There is no better feeling than putting seeds in the ground, wathcing them grow and harvesting an animal off your own land. I have other buddies places to hunt on also, but I would rather take 1 animal off my place than 3 off theirs. Hope you are able to find a piece of heaven like I have. Antler Addict
