I am closing on my property today. I'll be doing A LOT of exploring this weekend. In between setting up for a NWTF Banquet we are hosting on Saturday night.

Here is a pic of the property, 84 acres of Whitetail Heaven.

looks like a great piece! congrats!
wheres the nwtf banquet?

Its going to be an exciting, Long, offseason for you! Getting ready, scouting, and dreaming of opening day all at once.

What is the "green cut" on the side of your property??? Also the clear are in the center? what are those?? looks like a great piece of land.

Lewis & Clark Chapter in Grafton, IL. Tickets are all sold out, sorry.

MAN!! That is freakin awesome!!! Congrats man, that's really sweet.

Looks like a good place!!!

Green field is CRP. The "T" shaped field is an overgrown field.

Seriously, you gotta turn this T shaped fieldinto a plot. I'm not even kidding, this place is such a perfect patch to start your own piece of paradise. Get a biologist in there that can also manage and mark for a logging team in there to selective cut for deer management, take the $$$ from the logging project to pay for a nice 30+ hp 4wd tractor and some implements, and turn this place into the sweetest place for big bucks for miles.

Congrats to you, I really hope to someday be in a position to have a patch this large that is completely my own and MUCH closer to home than my current patch. Make sure you post pics when you go scouting.......

Man I am really pumped for you!!!!
