Something that I don't think we've ever polled:
Do youownyour own hunting property?
When I say "own" - I mean - is your name on the deed? Or do you at least have a vested ownership interest in your hunting land?
Check all that apply. Also, feel free to post pictures of your little slice of heaven - success photos, etc...
The reason I ask is that, eventually, (if Iever getany actual disposable income)I'd like to invest in my own land or camp - and I'm undecided about which route to take.
From a cost-efficiency perspective, I think it may be cheaper to do what my dad did andtry to snatch up a small lot that abutts a piece of public landin an area known for growing large whitetails -like Ohio, Kentucky or the bow-only areas in WV.
But, from an investment/control perspective, acreage seems like the better way to go. But the obvious setback will be the initial buy-in cost.
Thoughts?

Negative, Ghost Rider.
We work for the landowner in exchange for permission to hunt his property. We've been working his fences for the last 10 years and we're at the point now where he is pretty much family.

My father owns approx. 200 acres also, that will someday be mine

RE: Something that I don't think we've ever polled:
I don't "own" anything, but my dad (went in with his brothers) on a small 1 acre parcel that butts up against the Allegheny National Forest. We built this camp there. We only own a small postage stamp-sized lot, but I can literally walk out the door and hunt several thousand acres without crossing a paved road.

I hunt on my Dad's friends' land, our lease, my Grandpa's farm, and occasionally public land. Oh and a couple honey holes close to home

None of you options match what I own, I did vote for the other options that match though.....
Iown 15 acres where my house sits, although I have never hunted it. My step dad has killed2 yearling bucks and a doe here though over the past two seasons.I also gave some guy permission to bring his kids out the year before last and they shot a yearling buck and a doe.
