RE: Land or trips???
I bought a house on 5 rural acres this past summer.3 acres of heavy woods and 2 acres of lawn. Well, there is a small pond full of fish on it as well. I can dove hunt, fish, and kill coyotes on this small patch of ground. I love it! I would love to own more acreage and intend to some day. I enjoy that small patch of ground so much I can't begin to imagine the feeling of owning 50-100 acres of deer hunting land.
I'm going on a mule deer trip this week.5 days in Big bend country. I would GLADLY trade that trip and any future opportunity to travel for even 25 acres of my own hunting grounds. For me after the health and happiness of my family, owning my own hunting grounds is my greatest desire.
