Not exactly new equipment..but
 

I put a contract on 84 acres of prime DEER HUNTING PROPERTY in Jersey County, ILtoday. I walked the property yesterday after a snow on Friday night. There were deer and turkey tracks everywhere. We jumped 5 does along the brushy field.This is my dream hunting property. A 5 acre crp field along a small creek in the bottom. And a 5+ acre field of brush and weeds on top of the hill. And lots of hills, hollows, ridges and draws in the woods. Oh and we walked down a ridge and found 11 beds in the fresh snow.

Anybody want to be my new friend?:)

Here are a few aerials. I forgot my camera to take pics of the property.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Cool 82 acres... youve got an exciting year of scouting ahead of you!

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

How far is Jerseyville from this property. I live in Alton, and can help you scout it, help you keep an eye out, err...and help you hunt it. :eek:[8D]

That's awesome man! What a dream come true! Congrats to you!

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Dan you want me to pick you up on the way?

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

I am glad for you very nice. Good luck. Sure, I'll be your friend.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

I think you'd have to drive by me....so, pick me up!

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Congrats on the property. When you say you put a contract on it does that mean you bought it or leased it? Please excuse my real estate lingo ignorance.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Stop by me first TeeJay, I get SHOTGUN.

Congrats, jmbuckhunter, looks like some prime land.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Anybody want to be my new friend?:)

I will take some of that action :D:D:D

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Wow! Good for you man. Enjoy!!

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

What program are those aerials from? I see the google but the google earth i have looks nothing like that.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

I made an offer to buy it. Have to negotiate a price now.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

If you go to the top right corner in google earthand move the slider it moves the view to the 3D effect.

J - I'm happy for you, buddy. After what you've been through... Just saying that you "deserve" it would be a monumental understatement, but the English language relegates us to words when words sometimes can't quantify our actual feelings... I hope you shoot a booner in there every year for the next 50.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Wow, that's great! It'll be good to know you have good property to hunt and not have to worry about getting permission or leases being bought out from under you. Congrats again. I'm sure you'll pull a lot of venison and inches of antler from there.

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

That's awesome man! I am happy for you. Hopefully some day I can purchase land of my own, but until then you know i dont live that far away from you. I could swing by if you would like.:D

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Congratulations John!
I hope the negotiations go smoothly and quickly and that you end up with a whitetail paradise! Good luck!

RE: Not exactly new equipment..but
 

Looks great John. Good luck with everything !
