I currently own 29.5 acres and I've been talking to my neighbor about buying part of his place for years. Well my neighbor contacted me this week about buying half of his land. We have signed an agreement and just waiting on a surveyor. They are back up, so it will be March before we can close on 53 acres. My current land is 99% timber while the new one will give me 5 acres of field on the northern end and a small pond and 2 small 1/4-1/2 acre openings on the south end. How would everyone start with turning this property into a better hunting parcel. My goal is my kids and 72 y/o dad opportunities to see and shoot deer. I'm not looking for a Booner on every ridge. I'm happy with a opportunity to see and maybe harvest a 3.5 y/o or older buck every year. Hunting on surrounding properties is hit or miss. My neighbor I'm buying from hasn't even hunted the last 2 years. My west neighbor hunted 3 times on their 178 acres. My southern boarder, the neighbors kids hunt some during gun.
Yellow line is my current property and the blue is the new addition. I've added a few pics of my place.
