Skip...have had this conversation as well. Hundreds of millions in our country really don't know what life is like in rural america or on a farm (no matter how big or small). I've got some family that is very well educated (I've got a couple degrees and grad school and they blow me out of the...

Listened to the podcast on my drive back from florida last week. I was shaking my head in agreement with you in regards to the future. Some friends were down there at the same time we were, and they are very large commercial real estate investors. In our conversations down there, they are...

Agreed...cash / corporate buyers are the "x-factor" right now.

Most people buy based on what they can afford at the moment per month. So, with interest rates rising, the reduces the amount they can afford per month.

Very true in regards to the 1031 exchanges. I'd be looking for long term hold on property right now just in case :)

Regular people purchase based on what they can afford per month. Corporations are a different animal... Inflation is outpacing what the media is reporting. With what I do for a living, I feel I have a pretty good pulse on 3,6, 12 months from now. I told my wife back in February to start...

I'm on a much smaller scale, but general same train of thought. 145 acres here in cattle country MO...Have a long wooded 40 just east of us with a cabin on it. Would LOVE to be able to pick this up. Red = 1 acre clearcuts in timber Blue = TSI'ed areas Light Blue = Cedar Removal / Glade...

Congrats. Looking like you'll be able to get 'em coming to food in the evenings behind the future house, and backdoor them in the mornings as well coming back from it. Opens up a lot of possibilities!

Plan on running a fire through there next winter on clearcut #1 picture. Fire in the next couple of weeks on picture 2...and I may run another fire through there next year as well depending on how it does. If it only burns the branches and leaves bigger stuff standing, no big deal.

I'm so far down here in SWMO, we can't get stuck because we hit rock so quickly below the soil LOL

Some TSI and bedding clearcuts / thickets...Currently have 4 clearcuts approx 1 acre each for bedding completed. Approximately 20 acres of TSI work done on southern slopes. Trying to get another 10 acres done here this spring. H&S around 3-5 acres as well, but I'll be waiting to see if that...

I recently read that 1 in 7 homes in America is owned by wall-street. So, approximately 15% (and that number continues to rise). I'd be curious to know how comparable that % is in regards to land. This would also drive up land costs.

@TheMadCatter Shoot me a message...I'm an Missourian w/ some preference points. May be interested in a whitetail trip w/ you there in Iowa.

If it's not one thing...it's another :)....multiple guys down here are now seeing bucks that have started shedding. Which, we'll always have 1 here or there this early. But, we usually don't start seeing this until a month from now or so. Anyone up there seeing shed bucks?

This is really interesting...again, I'm 300-400 miles south in Missouri, and myself as well as a lot of guys I know who take good / mature deer are all saying the same thing. Camera's were average to below average. Rutting was blah. Then, rifle season comes in Missouri and tons of 2.5 year...

I didn't take it / read it as "bad"...I laughed because in Iowa this is a possibility! Crazy the amount of inches of jump in 1 year. The way I see it, is good for y'all to put yourself in position that you are able to pass on a buck like this. The self control AND RISK paid off. Y'all had no...

Not gonna lie...this made me laugh...and shake my head!

I know I'm 4-5 hours south of y'all, but it seems like weather wise October now has September weather from 5-7+ years ago. I think it's just cyclical, but from the looks of it our whole October could be short sleeve weather every afternoon. September has now also become the driest month of the...

Badlands should have a lifetime warranty....I just purchased their monster pack. I've gone the backpack route the past several years, but wanted to go with something a bit different this year with some of the things I'm doing. I received the monster pack, and really like it as of now...

Good lands...I wish our 2's and 3's looked like that.! Great deer!
