I think that the real estate bust is even starting to effect hunting ground prices. There is a 20 acre piece in Richland County (including some cropland) that has been on the market for about 2400 an acre for a year with no takers. They are probably gonna have to go down to about 2K to get any real offers. Dunno if things are gonna change in the really hot deer counties, but i think that the next year or so is gonna be the best opportunity for people to buy ground in the lesser known areas.
