[QUOTE="Allen, post: 195406, member: 389"] I would think you'd be in the $2500 an acre category, because you would want a mix of crop land and cover. So let's look at this very simplistically: 160 x $2500 = $400,000 If I had $400k to put towards hunting, I think I would sink it into a nice bond or "safe" mutual fund seeking 5% annual return. That $20,000 would go a hell of a long ways in sending me to Canada to hunt a moose in year one while leaving me with enough coin to probably do an Outerbanks tuna charter, or two. In year two, I'd go hunt sheep in Alaska and find this guy named Frosty and kick his ass for making me so jealous over the years. I'd probably have to bring some help, so there goes the rest of my $20k in year two. In year three, after healing up from the Alaska trip, I'm going to Texas on a trophy WT/pig excursion. I may even rent a helicopter! My point here is that buying enough land for just the gratis tag is a really, really poor way to spend your money. I know I am always on the lookout for something like that and when I do see it, I just can't make the numbers pencil out. [/QUOTE]
