Hate to rub it in, but my new land is great!

Glad for you that you can enjoy some stress free turkey hunting!

Thanks all for the kind comments and well wishes.  I am certainly feeling fortunate.  Retirement is still a few years out at best, especially now that I bought this land! 

I didn't mention that this land borders 3,000 acres of state forest. I do fear I will be fighting trespassers. The good news is there is a 700 acre buffer of woods that runs along my property with a river on the other side that cuts off access.  The only way people can get to my side is by crossing the river.  That should deter most people from getting close.

Here is a picture of my son's first bird.

Sounds like GREAT NEWS for walk in accessibility.  They may not be able to access it by foot but many people around our area sneak in the back door and trespass via boat.  If they hear gobbling or see a Stud buck while hunting the State Forest land, they will sneak in.  People have ZERO respect for property lines.  Good Hunting to You and Make Plenty of Memories!!!

Congrats on your sons first bird and on your new ground.  I purchased my own ground back in 2020.  Best money I have ever spent!

That's the dream.  Congratulations.
