If you had to pick a piece of property to buy and turn into your hunting paradise which of these two would you want? Give me your thoughts too. Maybe it wishful thinking/planing on my part but who knows if the opportunity comes up. Thanks for any advise, tips and pointers. Thanks!
What both have:
Heavy clay loam soil, farmers usually plant these fields late because they are too wet in the spring.
Building a pond would not be a problem on these sites.
Both MIGHT qualify for Wetland rehabilitation.
Both would qualify for CRP
Both are in heavy AG area, mostly Beans and corn. No hay fields around.
Plenty of bare land to do what you want.
Plenty of deer, turkey and other small game around.
Property 1 has
Across the street from my house.
No wooded areas. Just over grown fence rows.
EnBridge pipeline cuts through southern edge of property
I get deer in my yard from time to time. Most of the time they are just moving by at night between the larger wooded areas.
This would connect 3 -4 different wood lots.
Property 2 has
Current hunting location and part of old family farm. 15 minutes from my house.
8-9 acres of wooded travel corridor between 2 larger wooded areas.
Orchards to the South and West.
East, West and South boarders has large irrigation ditches that have water in them most of the year except summer and very dry spells.
Existing 1/3 acre clover plot inside wooded area and 1 acre food plot in AG field.
