If the property looks good to you and meets with your approval I make the following recommendation and this goes for any property whether recreational, business or residential.
FIND OUT WHO THE NEIGHBORS ARE! WHEN YOU BUY A PROPERTY THE NEIGHBORS COME WITH IT!
However you have to do it, find out their names and do every bit on online searching you can. Wouldn't hurt to talk to the local sheriff too. Just let them know you are thinking about buying but don't want to blindly buy into any potential problems. If you are using it for hunting I wouldn't buy before you talk to the game warden to see if there have been any issues.
You can't put much weight into anything said by anyone with an interest in selling you the property because they will tell you whatever they think you want to hear for their monetary gain.
Now if there are any dead bodies or skeletons on the property hopefully they will just be some harvested game carcasses....hopefully.
