Hey All,

Looking through different properties, and I was wondering what y'all think about small acreages for hunting---specifically this tract. Do you think it looks any good?

Approximately= 35 acres.

I understand that when choosing small hunting tracts, there are many things to search for. Cooperation among landowners, QDM, landowners, deer population, water, tree species,etc.,---However, what I'm asking is---what do you think first glance? Good/ Bad/ Ugly?

IMO, this looks like a fine hunting spot. You have some open areas, fence rows, and a nice funnel too. Looks like some crops are planted to the south...

Looks pretty promising to me.

Thanks for your response buckmark:

I thought it looked pretty good as well. Got lots of water. Big duck pond---surrounded by cropland. Lots of open area.

Anybody else???????

looks good to me-i like that stream bed that runs through. perfect funnel set up. id hunt it. what state is this in?

Unfortunately, just found out that the land is under contract. Looks like someone beat me to the punch. Northern MO---big buck country--prime turkey & great flyway for ducks as well. Not to mention---a big duck pond. Someone got a great deal.

As far as the property - it is what it is.

As for it being under contract - that could go either way. Keep your iron in the fire because financing isn't as easy to get these days. If you really want it - don't blink.

But at the same time it doesn't hurt to keep looking. I've seen a couple guys lose out on a piece of property they had their hearts set on only to happen upon land they feel blessed with.

Good luck.

The only thing that I saw that I would prefer not be there are roads on two sides. It won't be the spot that deer retreat to where they know there won't be any pressure.

I would put in a back counter offer, maybe a little more than asking if you really want it. Like Uncle Matt said, getting loans on property is extremely hard to get right now. As to the land I had rather have 35 acres in the right place than 1,000 acres in the wrong place.

Looks good to me, try to find a spot where the deer are coming from that feild to their bedding areas and vice versa.
