I am planning to introduce my son to deer hunting over the next few years. Unfortunately I have struggled to find property that is not over run by other hunters. The last remaining piece of private land that I hunt and once had sole permission during deer season is now shared with seven other hunters. I’m getting tired of seeing running deer and four-wheelers every time I’m in stand. I want my sons experience to be a good one, so I’m seriously considering purchasing some property.
Here’s the question(s)…who should I talk to, or where should I turn, to get good information about buying land. I know there are numerous considerations when contemplating a piece of property – set-aside contracts, timbering potential, numerous government reclamation and improvement programs, tax considerations, etc. I have also heard of some folks offsetting a large share of their payments through various means (e.g. crop land and pasture lease, etc.). I want to make sure I don’t rush into this blindly. I thought some of the members and land-owners on here might be able to steer me in the right direction or give me some advice.
Thanks.
