to get to the other property the previous owner had permission from his neighbor to walk through his property to get to the other side. otherwise yeah a canoe or boat would be the only other way. So logging helps in the long run, but makes hunting difficult for the first few years until the forage grows up?

Logging will encourage new growth on the ground. The reason logging is good if done with consideration is much of the shrubs or new tree growth and berry bushes are prefered deer foods, it also provides cover for deer.. If you buy the property or any wooded property you can manage the land with selective logging and earn some money in the bargin.

Just the more reason to be very careful if the only way to easily access the one side is through another person's property! NOT GOOD!!!

It gets more expensive when referred to as HUNTING land.
Putting a picture and words of deer on something raises prices.

I'd recommend driving the local roads, as slowly and safely as possible, and look for deer where the have entered and left the properties. your prospective property might not be the best one. It might be next door to the best one.

And if you have trouble spotting deer trails, you probably need to avoid deer land.

Get a signed "right of way"

the access looks limited ? with only the upper left corner with road frontage ? is there any other access ? is there a lot more timber that connects to that or in the immediate area ? just looking at that photo alone there will be deer there but how hard is it going to be to get in and hunt without blowing them out, that's what you need to figure out. access will be key to any land..

The person that owns it now has permission from the other adjacent land owner to get to the other side. And as far land connecting to it, it does connect to other land but they are thinner strips of it and eventually it leads into a larger forest. We scouted it out and we saw a pretty good amount of deer sign imo. Mostly at the transition where it goes from hardwoods to cornfield

After logging the hunting is only hard because it grows up real thick, that is why you do not log the whole property at once. Divide it up and do small sections, by the time you do the last section if done right the first one will be almost mature again. Only takes about 10 to 15 years to grow from a cut area to a mature crop ready for harvest again.

Will you be building a home or a cabin there?

Thanks that helps a lot and makes a lot of sense. There is already a trailer on the property right where middle road is. It also has a trail system that goes around 3/4 of the property.

Sounds good but I would not stop looking. I have a creek that runs thru my place. Was a royal pain to cross over to the property on the other side till I spent nearly $1000.00 for a big old culvert the county drain commission would approve for a crossing.
The creek even made me have to buy a $97.00 special permit to build a building on the property.
Also wait to see the place with out a bunch of snow to see if it is a huge bog under the snow.
