Gotta Love new land

[Moog5050]

Just picked up 40 new acres mostly woods in middle of big ag.  Client (big farmer) owns 6000 acres and said this is one of his best hunting parcels.  Leased it to me cheap since we work together a lot.  I have a good feeling about this new place.  And it will take some pressure off my current 40 acres.  Only 45min from home so not bad.  Excited to set it up and get some cams out.  Time to get serious again.  haha

That's fantastic.  Sounds like a great place to ambush some big bucks.

that's awesome. land if you can afford to buy it and keep it is almost never a bad investment.

Congrats. I cold call/email so much, but still haven't landed much

Leasing is definitely the way of the future around here. Unfortunate in some senses since it makes it tough for new hunters to find somewhere to hunt. But I can't complain since we've benefited.  Congrats on your find!

I'd love to find a lease. Year to year no strings attached, but that is almost unheard of in SENY/CT or would be crazy money

Yep.   I still like owning my own so I never have to worry about a place to hunt but this could be a great long term lease for additional options that costs me l as than taxes at my place.

Finally got out there yesterday.  Pretty steep side hill facing east (good for entry) and down to big ag.  The hill is divided by a few big ravines.   Need more time to find crossings.  Set two cams.  First pic this morning was encouraging.
