love to own ground
 

Anyone in here own there own ground? I dont own it my family does. It is such a great feeling. It makes you feel like you have power. I would like to buy some ground, but doesnt come cheap. Around here about $1500. a acre.

I don' t own any but like I said my buddy in Ky has 70 acres. My girlfriends newphew lives on over 200. He don' t own it but is the caretaker of it. Maybe I need to talk to him. :D

I wish!

$1500 an acre?

Are you missing a zero? :) I just bought an acre of land two years ago to put a house on here in NJ and I paid seventy times that! One can never have enough loans!

If my dreams come true, I' ll get some in NY state some day.

Having own property is a bonus when it comes to hunting. land is still fairly reasonable in my area. I purchased another 280 acres this spring for $272/acre. it was a steal and couldn' t resist. Wife wasn' t to happy, but that' s life. Steve

Geez a steal around here for wooded acres is 5 or 6 grand. My family was looking at a nice 10 acre lot with areas to build a house for like 110 and a 5 acre for 75! 1500 is awesome!

I' d love to own my own land someday. I don' t think it' ll happen in the near future though.

Looking,, not sure if I want strictly a deer hunting piece of property,, or moose/bear hunting property,, or a little of both! The wife wants waterfront $$$$$.... If I want to take a long drive. I can get 160-200 acres of moose/bear with water, or 110 acres of deer a little closer to home(no water on this one), both would be in the mid 20' s Canadian money, no buildings and would have to cut a road in.

I live in Indiana too . Where in he11 did you find land that cheap ? I' m in Harrison Co. near Louisville , and if you can find anything under $5,000-$15,000 an acre you probably stole it from someone' s dying grandmother . What Co. did you buy yours in ?

RE: love to own ground
 

If anyone is looking for land in Northern Minnesota, I know of 900 acres you could get for around $400/acre. Steve

Taz, is it an all or nothing deal or would this person be willing to break it up?

RE: love to own ground
 

Try $100,000 an acre round here:([:' (][X(]

gotta love the Hamptons

RE: love to own ground
 

I' d love to own my own land that I could manage the way I want to. Food plot, pine thicket, oak bottom. I only want like 80-100 acres but being that we' re close to DC and it' s getting bigger the land is just getting bought up by contractors.

Where I hunt the people own 140 acres. They' re planning on selling 120 of it so I asked how much. They said their highest bid was 1.2 mil, a little out of my price range but I had to ask.

Rack-Attack ,
You live near the Hamptons ?
You poor SOB , no wonder you hunt beds . I had a buddy in the Navy from there , he said you practically had to pay to hunt , that was many moons ago . If you get down to Indiana sometime I' ll be more than happy to turn you loose in a forest where you' ll need a GPS to find your way back to the truck . Plan on camping ...
Let me know if you' r interested , our non-resident fees are resonable .

I grew up in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and you could literally walk for months in the wilderness without encountering another person. Most of the land is government owned and can be bought if you wanted to. No one buys hunting land because there is no need to because there is so much wilderness land there. Great moose & caribou hunting too, they haven' t introduced deer there which I find odd but hey, what do I know...:). My dad leased the land our hunting cabin was on, it was 100ft x 300ft piece of property and he payed $70 a year for it. My point is once I moved to the US, it took a little getting used to knowing that land was so expensive and that most if not all of the land was bought up. Incidently, my wife and I are having a kid now and I' m trying to convince her that there is no better investment for the kids education that buying hunting land, haven' t had much success with that yet though...;)

MN, at this point, the owner is trying to keep the parcel in one piece. My brother and I made an offer on 600 acres of it, thought we may have swaid him, but he wants to sell whole thing as one atleast for a while longer. It' s BEAUTIFUL acreage. Has roughly 200 acres in fields spread throughout, and rest is nice oak/pine/few swamps and alittle pasture. It' ll be a hunting property to be proud of. Steve

RE: love to own ground
 

I own about 40 acres here in NY. But I am selling it becuase the taxes and towns people are unreasonable. Too much development around me and deer have become strictly nocturnal.

But after buying it for $9000 and now selling it for $90,000. The decision wasn' t to hard.

Check out your local state and county foreclosure listings! Thats how I bought my property. I' d do it again in a heartbeat.

RE: love to own ground
 

Yup - 10 mins away - and hunt some in East Hampton.

Tuff to find land round here:(

Thanks for the offer - but I don' t camp - I need running water:D:D

But set me up on 100 acres of thick woods - and I am hell on wheels:D;)

RE: love to own ground
 

Why Rack I' m shocked !
You don' t think that I' d take you somewhere without running water do you ? Cold and colder , all you could possibly want ... ;)

RE: love to own ground
 

my father has 80 wooded acres surrounded by public in north/central Wisconsin that we hunt on that has been passed down from my great-great-grandpa. as you might guess, land was cheap back then. we ahve bagged some nice bucks there, but what is more important is the good times we' ve bagged.

RE: love to own ground
 

Most of yall when you say 100,000 an acre around here is talking about big city land. Country land 1500 an acre will get you running water hills, etc. 1500 an acre is expenisive for country land, the average is about from 500 to 900 here.

RE: love to own ground
 

No its not city land, but it is suburban land out on the East end of Long Island. And its not prime land either.

The Prime Land in these areas - to build a house on - will go for 500,000 to 1,000,000 for an acre[:o][:o]

No Joke man[:' (]
