Yea but an occasional 200” deer from an occasional trip to the Midwest ain’t too bad.
Welcome Guest!
Lease prices keep going up.

I should have bought 100 acres 30 years ago, when the opportunity came, and went. It was a nice piece of land that butted up to a WMA. Hunted it for about five years, and enjoyed it. The one that got away as it were...
But since then, Ive been in a bunch of leases, over four counties, and thousands and thousands of acres of scenery change.
Honestly, I think I've had a better time with all the variety, than I would have being married to that 100 acres for the last 30 years.
I don't sweat it when leases change, sell, or otherwise no longer suit me.
I just get in another one. I never have a problem, because I have a reputation for common sense and common courtesy, and I have a tractor...
I'm not even mentioning the several permanent hidey holes I have on public land, or a few handshake pieces I can hunt.
Having a lot of hunting options is not hard to accomplish, and when one door closes, you just knock on another...

I’m like you, I own land and it’s fun to work on but I only hunt it about 5 times a year. I like to roam

While I like familiar stands and hunting land I can certainly appreciate hunting a new place too. It's the unknown that makes it exciting. Good advice too. Not just for hunting but for living. Common sense and common courtesy. Well said brother.
You are correct on the CUVA. It has a 2000 acreage minimum, but that is even about to change. There is a bill going through the gold dome that is going to up it to 4000 I believe. That is why most companies are in FLPA. It has no max acreage limit. The newer QTP program was set up to catch all of the smaller properties that didn't fall in FLPA.
Ratkillings can be fun. This, on the other hand.....

Sold ten acres I owned in Taylor County for $55000
Paid cash ($99100@ close)for Cull Buck Farm. Felt good walking out the closing knowing it was paid in full.
Property taxes is minimal In Alabama.

The end is coming a lot quicker than I thought! Losing another one? Both partners not coming back I don’t like hunting 150 miles from home by myself
