Growing up I always thought I was going to get my grandpas property that was passed down for a couple of generations. Well as life would have it, that place sold about 10 years ago. After that I wasn't really sure I would ever afford to buy a place, but after meeting my wife and sharing my dreams with her we set out a plan to save up enough money to buy some land one day. I didn't think it would come so soon with us being so young (me..28, her..30), but after messaging with Darton and seeing these other guys starting their own threads with places I started looking. I looked online for lots of months and missed out on some nice places because I didn't react fast enough.
When I first saw this place it was under contract, but back in March I saw it come available again and I didn't waste any time. I looked at it 3 days later without the agent and made an offer that night. Today I got word that everything went through and we are officially the owners!
Here's the good stuff:
70 acres in Choctaw Co. with a creek running the entire length of the property. Mix of young and old timber. Pines and oaks mainly. Super thick in most areas with the young timber and some open pasture land as well that will be perfect for food plots.
I can't wait to get started and throw out some cams! I will be posting pics and what not of some things I'm doing around the place, and hopefully I'll have a thread like some of the greats here on TBH.
AND, for you guys dreaming about buying land...just do it as soon as you can. Don't wait around for the perfect place, the most acres, etc. Buy smaller if you have to and upgrade down the line. This stuff isn't getting any cheaper and they aren't making anymore of it!
Also, please give me your opinions on things...I can use all the help I can get! I'm definitely a rookie in this field.
