Wise to buy land on potential basis?

There's been quite a bit of talk here lately about purchasing land. My question for you: what would be the max amount of time to build a good deer hunting spot to make it worth buying to you? My wife and I are considering an eighty acre piece that is about 90% open, with hedgerows and a couple of narrowly wooded draws, deer already travel through it, but it doesn't hold them. I believe we could have cover there within 5,6 years enough to begin holding deer pretty well. Too much time? I'm only 30 by the way and at this point I have plenty of ground to hunt by permission...
 
I would say the sooner you buy the better. Then you could have it paid off by the time you want to retire, and you will have it the way you want it by then(or close). Maybe put some in crp for cover and food plots and some in a forest reserve program if available. You could even rent part of it out for some extra income.

No time like the present...they aren't making any more of it and IMO it's not going south as far as the price.

Get ahold of it and then have fun creating your own little paradise!

Buy it!

Switch grass will be very fast cover.

Cedars/spruces/pines will grow alot in 5-6 years (if you can keep the deer off them).

You can always build equity and then trade up if you find something you like better.
 
A friend of mine has turned a cow pasture into one of the thickest woods around in less than than 10 years. Just get after it. Good Luck.
