C'mon Otto... Pan up a little so we can see the roller coaster!

Great pics from you all.  Keeps me dreaming of some day owning some property that I can walk out my back door, and be hunting.  Thanks for keeping the dream alive.

HAW!!!!!

Most of the country around here looks much like this.



This is what it looks like in my back yard (all 40 acres of it) in the winter time...

Land is really expensive in Minnesota, the farther you go north, I've heard some land going for $1700 an acre. I don't think I'd live that long !  To pay for all that !

Actually, its sad to say, but that isn't that bad.  Most farmland/woodland here in SW Wisconsin is going for $2k and acre.  Wish I would have bought more when it was $500/acre.  

It would be SO easy to be jealous of these views..
I choose instead to be motivated and ispired to
get my A$$est outta the city!!!!
but, by all means continue the motivation ,please.

beautiful,thats how it is roud these parts.

I would have to say that I'm not jealous, but when I do look at the photos I would like to have land like that, but also when you have land like that, he have responsibility, and somebody else after it (kids)(grandkids).  Which isn't all that bad.

But I have also heard the stories of people that have land, and if it's not in the right place, you constantly chasing those that have no conscience, or no respect, in keeping them off the land.  The problem with buying land in Minnesota, is eventually you have a mall put up next to you.  Or House Garden

But I've been really fortunate, that God placed individuals in my life that give me the opportunity to hunt their land.  Now I can't walk out on that whenever I want to, it's by invitation.  But maybe next year I will have that opportunity, because the other alternative is to help someone who does have land, take down the tree stands, plant food plots, and take care of that land just like as if it's yours, and they will see that you respect them and the land.  It builds a friendship, and that's irreplaceable.  Maybe I am different, but God has placed me in a job that I work with archery, I hunt with people that do have land, and they walk around with me on that land like it is their living room, showing me in telling me things that they wouldn't tell others.

It's definitely a blessing, the particular land I am hunting on now, was $15,000 a lot years ago , and if he sold it now maybe well over $200,000.  I could never afford that, or should I say justified that for hunting.  Maybe I could if I put up a indoor shooting range of 50 yr, and the traditional bow shop, with a 3-D outside range and move my house out on that land, but that would distribute it quite a bit.

all I can say is " God is good"

I made the posting above in 2007.I had no idea at the time that I would eventually own a piece of land .As my last statement in the post above

"God is good "

I can say that again because He has given me my own land to hunt. And I have all the responsibilities that go with it !

   

   

   

This Season (2010)

   

   

How many others have land that that they didn't think they would have three years ago !

Thats a bargin,here in S.E.PA you can pay  $100,000 or more for an acre you can build on. For what my wife and i payed for our house on 10 acres i could buy the whole state of Minnesota at $1,700 an acre,LOL.

I want to know where you guys got those back doors? I need to get one for my Apt.

Thanks in advance...  

pic taken thru glass on my front door.

 

Front door..been trying to sell. Gonna be very hard to leave if it does.

Yes I remember saying the $1700 was expensive !
Per acre ,The average  around here is $2000 an acre .(hunting ground)

But I have to say I was fortunate on my 40 .
Now I just have to find a good source to build some food plots ,And a water hole .
