[QUOTE="KDM, post: 385262, member: 314"] Some of it is very expensive I'll give you that. However, I know a man that bought slough ground for about 300 bucks an acre for the dry ground. Under 30k for the whole 80 I think it was. Planted trees on just about every part where a tree would grow. Willows, Cottonwoods, Pines, Boxelders, and any other tree he could find that would grow there. He put bushes where trees wouldn't grow and put a fence around the entire thing. He used the slough to water the trees and bushes and after 8 years or so he has a wildlife mecca that even the rich television hunters would drool over. He worked his azz off planting stuff and making sure they lived and thrived. Now he does nothing to it but hunt it and enjoy his investment and effort. It can be done. It just needs to be a priority that comes before the new truck, or boat, or fishing trips, or vacation that sucks the money pool dry. This land was a long term investment in his eyes to be passed on to his children much like any other investment. [/QUOTE]
