Touching base guys,
I know I am beating the proverbial dead horse & certain this topic has been covered multiple times over. Looking into expanding the horizons past the state of Ga for next years season potentially with the idea of long term means. So as it stands I am taking this time to do my due diligence & try to research/investigate as much as possible over the course of the remainder of this year with the goal of possibly pulling the trigger on something for the next season. I believe outside of the countless amounts of posted/published articles the best kind of information out there is 1st hand experiences and feedback from those who venture out of state on a regular basis. To give an idea I do not believe I am essentially looking for a guided or outfitted hunt more or less believe an established lease or club will be the route my father & I will try to seek out as we enjoy the aspect of year round access & being able to partake in the festivities of property maintenance/upkeep, the down & dirty aspects of what goes into it all from top to bottom to have an even further heightened sense of appreciation if & whenever the stars would align to allow the opportunity to lay hands on a quality class buck. The opportunity is there to make not necessarily a ton of trips back & forth out of state but the ability to go several times a year to visit the property etc.... pre season, post season, & during season are very much a possibility which is the main reason why looking into something established would be the preferred way to go vs spending a sizeable chunk of change for a 1 & done trip for the season.
My question is for those of y'all in here with that kind of experience are there any states you would recommend looking into for a 1st timer that offer OTC tags that 1 would not have to venture to rely on the draw or lottery system. I am working on investing in points for some states in general but more so looking to find something for my father & I to dive into as a joint venture? Already looking at the obvious like Kentucky, Ohio being the main 2 I am vaguely familiar with. Budget wise for us would be in the 3 K to depending if I really want to test my wife's dedication to our marriage 3500 K. Thanks for your time & look forward to hearing some of your feedback.
In terms of ability to load up & road trip it to go hunt down an actual lease out of state the opportunity to do so is not realistic for my schedule, the idea is to use the various platforms, word of mouth, pages like these to track down potential leads & go from there put feelers out until we find something that we fit well into the scheme of things & the group in question. I know there's realistic odds of finding good pieces of ground for those that have the time to hit the road & knock on some doors but my plan is to save all of my time off for once we do find something then from there apply it all towards trips out etc....
