If your worried about building up around you, you must be fairly close to city limits? Take that into consideration, but carry on with your dreams. Just use your head and have faith in God .

Is it just pasture land now or does it already have some trees on it?

[Smart]

Your trees are not gonna grow fast enough for you to get any real use out of them anytime soon and you will have to plant a ton of trees to give the animals any cover at all. Great idea, but I think your dad would of needed to plant those trees 10-15 years ago.

This^^...... Sippy what's you plan for productive cover and forage trees that should have you ready for the grand opening in 4 years after college?.... Types amounts?... Costs? Financing?

At 100 acres for a bowhunting ranch, I am assuming you are going to try to fence it?... Costs?.. Financing?...

And if it is cattle land now... what's going to keep them from killing the sapling and small trees?

Lastly. Is the whole family down with it?.. How many family members own it? Is there any reason to believe somebody might pass and their relatives will want to sell or get their money for their piece of the pie?

Just a few things to consider.

I say do your research and plant a variety of different trees. Some that grow fast for short term benefit and some that take longer for long term benefit. Lay it out just how you'd like it. Bedding, feeding and staging areas all just where you want them. Go for it. If they buy you out, you can buy bigger already set up and do your thing there.

1. Its mostly open land now but the creek through the middle is wooded

2. I never said it was 100 acres, in fact it is quite a bit more

3. Cost of fencing is not an issue

4. The cattle are in one section now

5. It is my moms land, she gave me the all clear

Plant some trees! As they say "when in Rome...."

Basically my outlook on it

[Cam-Mac]

Sounds like a good opportunity!

not sure of the soil type but if it can sustain pine trees you can go with advanced generation and those dudes grow fast! we now have a nice pine thicket and the deer tend to travel through it making all sorts of trails. they are able to move through quietly and the needles tend to make great bedding areas.
