goodbye to my hunting ground

[Rick Wiltshire]

Kenny,

Is there a way you can post info on the land in case anyone has the ability to purchase the land?

Could they PM or e-mail you for info?

Nothing more important than taking care of family. I've been telling my kids thats how you judge a man. Proud and sad for you at the same time. I hope some of the suggestions above can work for you.

Sorry to hear about that,hope everything works out for you.

I know how you feel we lost a 1,600 acr lease that we had for 8 years and we shot only big bucks off the property.

If i would have known we were losing it i would have taken a lot more deer, been sick about it all season.

So sorry to hear that Kenny.  What's right isn't always easy, and what's easy isn't always right.  I would encourage you to respond to Whip and Rick.

post the info. when you get it you never know ?  I just bought some hunting land or I'd look at it myself and would have been happy to have you continue hunting, there may be others on here like me that are looking for land as well.

That sucks.

I 'lost' my mother on Christmas eve in 2008- and she was hooked up to the care-center money drain.

Seems like the people that are the most important to the patients: are those that are paid the very least.

 Something for all of us to think about as we get older.

 It takes a split second to have a stroke; and that can at any time of your life; leave legal issues up to courts and realities that we just plain do not like.

Talk to a legal professional now about estate planning !

That really sucks. But if anyone thinks they will be in the same position you should talk to an estate planner. I believe if you have no assets in your name for 39 months medicare will pick up the cost of the nursing home. Planning ahead of time is the key.

I have had relatives and my wife's grand parents distributed much of what they had ahead of time so they didn't have assets.  I have also heard people putting stuff like land in a trust to protect it for their family.  From what I have heard if you don't have money they can't bleed you dry, and they have to take what Medicare pays instead of everything they can take from you at whatever rate they want to charge.  I wouldn't go down without trying everything.  Maybe you could even sell half or some lots if you had to do it to get it worked out, but at least you would still have some land left.

Find out who's buying it when it sells. There are still windows of options, unless hunters are buying it. While leasing is a dirty word to some, it's reality now, like it or not.

Property taxes alone make it so for many land owners.

If hunters aren't buying it, the present owner could mention that you want to lease right off the bat, at the closing.

If hunters aren't buying it in todays reality, if it's prime ground, if you don't lease it, more than likely someone else will.  

It blows, I know. But it is what it is.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the help.

First, let me say I am NOT upset to sell it to pay Ma's care. She worked her whole life,she deserves the best.

It is in a 3 way partnership with her sister and another of her sister's heirs. I am the power of attorney for Ma ,but have to work with the other owners to set price and sell.

Anyone interested ,feel free to call me or pm me. We have 6 months. 660 734 2113

Farming it just doesn't pencil the payments for me,so I don't think I want any part of it.

As said above,get your stuff in order,3 years age ,she lived alone and took care of herself.Now she needs 24 hr care, she stayed with my sis as long as possible,but had to be admitted to a nursing home to have round the clock care.

It was too late by the time we knew, I wish with all my heart I could change something......

Scouting for new places to hunt,Kenny

[eman614]
