Yes you are not the only one that has pressure problems, I have a neighboring property(to my farm) that most deer that move get shot, the good news about it is, they are well educated they hear the banging and know the pressure is tremendous. The best thing you can do is add as much cover to...

Personally I don't see a 40-50% hair cut to the prime land market coming. Here's why. Their are to many people with to much money waiting on the sidelines. 20k land currently isn't going to 8-10k it isn't going to happen. Will it sluff off? I think it will but not 50%. Now Rec land and land...

Silver Maples will be the trees of value. Ranging from 18-30 inches in diameter. We will be doing a conservative cut of mature trees. I'd say 80% of them are in the east side. Im not 100% how many there are, he give me a rough estimate on the value. My idea was build a temporary crossing...
