A friend of the family owned about 600 acres right across the road from my parents. Great hunting and it also had two nice ponds for fishing and frog hunting. We had absolute run of the place. Then, it was all auctioned off in parcels to 4 different people about 3 years ago. The 200 acres with the ponds is now posted, but we still have varying degrees of access to some of the other parcels. And i managed to buy 19 acres of it prior to the auction. So, in a way it worked out well for me, although i do miss having the whole square mile to wander around on whenever i want.
